It was the member’s first solo update in such a long time.
ZEROS (ZEROBASEON fans) have been increasingly frustrated by I WAKEthe treatment of Ricky.
When they filmed ZEROBASEONE FIELDWAKEONE seems to have forgotten about the two Chinese members, Zhang Hao and Ricky. They were initially denied entry to Jeju because they did not have passports. Koreans do not need a passport to travel to Korea. He too had to be missing The Asia Artist Awards 2023 due to unresolved issues with passports and visas.
Ricky follows hao hyung to show his boarding ticket, then the security says “if you don’t have a passport you can’t pass”, so they both look very worried. this could have been avoided if I had informed them to bring their passports#WakeoneTreatRickyBetter#RICKY_IS_ZB1pic.twitter.com/4B5le9QwGw

This is so heartbreaking, he went to the airport with a smile on his face and after his flight was delayed his smile disappeared☹️

we voted for Ricky in the group because we want to see him in the group, this constant mismanagement that always ends up with Ricky not being shown is frustrating and they haven’t even debuted yet

On October 31, 2023, ZEROSES were shocked by the actions of ZEROBASONE management during a series of live broadcasts. A manager could be heard yelling at Ricky for starting his live broadcast without their permission, which outraged many netizens.
Ricky was scolded by the manager for not asking him for permission for the bubble live..

when Ricky was forced to end the live:
🧸ricky, check out kakaotalk
🐱*nods*
🧸no (they said) check your kkt and end your live broadcast
🐱oops
🧸 they said ask permission and then do it
🐱I…I have to end the live broadcast now. bye bye, I don’t think I can continue any longer, sorrypic.twitter.com/W04I360ItN https://t.co/FodcGWNxiu— 🍰 (@rickyourlove) October 31, 2023
There were a couple of problems recently during the ZEROBASEONE tour. A sharp object pierced Ricky’s hand during a performance and WAKEONE lost the personalized in-ear monitor fan gift.
From a closer perspective, I hope he’s okay… https://t.co/G1HAh6XyPC pic.twitter.com/WwLLUSDIGX

wakeone has officially lost Ricky’s fanmade earphones… be warned, those are custom made and cost over a thousand dollars + delivery to the wk1 building which was done by a trusted member of the fanbase and funded by other fans. they are absolutely irresponsible and shameless

These are just a few examples of WAKEONE’s alleged mistreatment of Ricky in particular. However, what has particularly upset ZEROSE recently is that Ricky appears to have been banned from social media, as he hasn’t posted since August.
Ricky’s last post on Instagram was on August 28th pic.twitter.com/Omnlk4U8wT

Let this video remind you all that Ricky is STILL banned on SNS. He gets neglected by his own company and hurt by the awakened’s careless actions that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

「Shape」 is not just a question of angle but of attitude.
No fear of the corner, each side is the ideal type
No fear of time and gravity, always maintain a firm and full attitude

However, some have encountered issues with WAKEONE’s posts. They didn’t like the tone of WAKEONE’s captions.
