so unprofessional and without a shred of work etiquette, how to at least leave it outside of working hours, not while working at home and definitely not when the artist is present 🤦🏻♀️

The unexpected incident has opened up a larger conversation about professionalism within K-Pop management teams, with some fans questioning whether WAKEONE should address the issue to avoid further controversy. ZEROBASEONE fans, in particular, have had more contact with the group’s management over the past year. As such, for some fans this feels like the icing on the cake of a very, very frustrating cake.
I hope the internal problems mean waking up by hiring new competent staff because screw this company, how do they keep disappointing us more at every opportunity
