During the highly anticipated ceremony, Rosé and Bruno Mars won the Global Sensation award. But during their acceptance speech, the camera focused on a handsome man with his wonderfully shaggy comma hair and leather jacket.

After further digging on X (formerly Twitter), non-fans discovered that the said handsome man is none other than ZEROBASEONE Jiwoong!

When the camera panned to Jiwoong, it stayed focused on him for five seconds, giving the virtual audience the chance to take a screenshot of his beautiful face. Not long after, praise and questions about his identity were showered on X.

Here are the fans’ reactions to ZB1 Jiwoong:

  • “WHO THE HELL IS THIS”
  • “Off topic but my friend…”
  • “blinded by his lethal face card”
  • “who is that wonderful man at 0:34???”
  • “Is it really necessary to show jiwoong in the middle of the speech? Jiwoong is only here to serve face”
  • “Oh my God, who is that in the middle?”

Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE took home two trophies: the Fans’ Choice Award and the Worldwide KCONers Award, from the 2024 MAMA Awards.

During their acceptance speech, Jiwoong expressed his sincere gratitude to their ZERO fandoms.

“Even though it’s been a year since ZB1 debuted, we’re so grateful that we can still receive so much love from fans around the world and our ZEROSEs.

ZB1 will continue to show a more improved version of ourselves. You can wait for us with great expectations. I love you.”
