Recently, a rookie male idol has been under fire after a video was shared on social media. 

This male idol faces criticism for allegedly using inappropriate language, specifically uttering the word "Ssibal (FU*K)," directed towards a fan following a video call fan meeting.

The video gained widespread attention after the fan who participated in the video call with him shared it online. She conveyed her distress upon hearing the inappropriate word uttered by the idol at the end of their call.

In the first video, ZEROBASEONE member Kim Ji Woong seems to have thought the video call was over and can allegedly be heard saying, "Ssi~bal (FU*K)" at the end of the call.

The fan who posted the video wrote, "Does he usually end a video call with his fans saying 'Ssi~bal'? I don't know so I'm asking ZEROSEs opinions." She added, "As soon as it (video call) started, he let out a sigh and expressed fan hate. Why do fans have to engage in this conversation, walking on eggshells, when I paid (so much money)? I didn't ask him to do a weird challenge or anything. I didn't do anything wrong. It's Kim Ji Woong's wrongdoing 100%. There was no reason. I guess I just got unlucky...I'm so upset."

Other netizens commented, "If this is true, it's so shocking," "This is so disheartening for fans," "I'm so upset just hearing him say that," "How can he say that when he earns billions just by doing a few second video call with a fan?" "Wow," "I was hoping it wasn't true but what's going on," "I hope he posts an apology or an explanation fast," "How can he say that to a fan?" "That's just wrong," "Wow, it's blatantly saying 'Ssibal'," "This is really shocking for fans," and "His attitude is just... wow."
