ZEROBASEONE’s Park Gun Wook faces new criticism after apologizing for fan sign controversy

ZEROBASEONE member Park Gun Wook has come under renewed scrutiny after issuing an apology regarding allegations of misconduct during a fan signing event, with online discussions now expanding to include a separate controversy involving a resurfaced video.

On June 5, Park shared an apology through a fan communication platform, addressing criticism surrounding his conduct at a recent fan signing event.

The controversy originated from a Polaroid giveaway segment held during the event. Park was accused of announcing a number different from the one he had initially selected, prompting some fans to question whether the winning number had been intentionally changed to award the prize to a specific attendee.

As videos capturing the moment circulated across online communities and social media platforms, criticism intensified. In response, Park publicly acknowledged the issue and apologized. "I should have exercised greater caution and judgment in that situation," Park wrote. "I deeply regret causing confusion and disappointment to many people. I sincerely apologize to those who were hurt or affected by my shortcomings."

He further expressed remorse, stating that he had always valued the support of fans and was reflecting on his actions.

However, the controversy has continued to draw attention as an older video has recently resurfaced online. The footage shows a man exiting a vehicle in a parking lot and kicking a traffic cone before walking away. While the individual's identity has not been officially confirmed, some online users have speculated that the person in the video is Park.

The video has sparked additional debate among netizens, with some criticizing the behavior shown in the footage and questioning whether it reflects the idol's character. Others have urged caution, noting that the identity of the individual has not been verified.

Online reactions have been divided, ranging from criticism of the alleged behavior to calls for restraint until further clarification is provided.

As discussions continue across social media and online communities, neither Park Gun Wook nor his agency has publicly commented on the resurfaced video. Attention remains focused on whether additional statements will be issued regarding the matter.
