Interview with Kim Jiwoong: Rating His Visuals and Choosing the Most Handsome ZEROBASEONE Member

Is ZB1 Kim Jiwoong confident in his looks? The newcomer rated his appearance on a scale of 1 to 100 and chose his fellow member as the most attractive.

During the month of May, Idol Champ conducted a survey in which Kim Jiwoong was declared as the “Next-Generation’s Face Genius,”receiving an impressive 54.39% of the total votes.

On June 19, the Korean media outlet iMBC Entertainment conducted an interview with the idol to honor the special title he received. The main focus was on his top-tier visuals as one of the prominent figures in the K-pop industry.

Upon being questioned about his emotions regarding his victory in the poll, Kim Jiwoong displayed a remarkably modest demeanor, stating:

“I don’t think I’m a genius, but I appreciate it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

The article then proceeded to shower Jiwoong with compliments, portraying him in a positive light as the writer described.

“He has a fist-sized face and sharp nose bridge that make him look like a statue and he exudes such aura.”

The reporter then requested him to assess himself on a scale of 1 to 100, and his response demonstrated the same level of humility that enhances both his inner worth and outer appearance.

“50 points? Of course, the external (appearance) is important, but I don’t think that the outer aspects can make it 100 alone.

50% is the internal part, and the other 50% is the external part. In this way, I’ll become Kim Jiwoong who makes up for my shortcomings.”

At the same time, within the fifth-generation groups, ZEROBASEONE is renowned for its members who are not only highly skilled, but also possess main visual-worthy qualities.

Out of all the members, Jiwoong chose Ricky as the most handsome one and explained his reasoning.

“Ricky. His eyes, nose, and mouth are distinct and similar to mine, but I think he has that different charm. I think my first impression of him was that he’s the strongest and most impressive.”

He then reiterated his belief that all members are deserving of being ranked number one, and added:

“But I think all of our members are No.1. It may seem like an obvious answer, but they are all so kind, handsome and affectionate.”

Conversely, the musical ensemble ZEROBASEONE, of which Kim Jiwoong is a member, recently released their third mini-album, titled “You had me at HELLO,”on May 13.

This release marked a significant achievement for the group, as they became the first K-pop group to reach “million seller”status within a day of releasing three consecutive albums. This impressive feat began with their debut album, “YOUTH IN THE SHADE,”and continued with their second mini-album, “MELTING POINT.”

ZB1 is aiming to increase its popularity by announcing its inaugural international tour, “2024 ZEROBASEONE THE FIRST TOUR,”scheduled to take place from September 20 to 22. The tour will bring the group to eight different cities across the globe, where they will have the opportunity to connect with fans from around the world.
