“Thank You for Making Us Feel Safe and Loved”— Fans Praise Jiwoong of Zerobaseone for Heartfelt Speech on Unconditional Love at Bangkok Concert

Kim Jiwoong of Zerobaseone has recently sparked excitement among fans following a poignant speech at their concert in Bangkok. The boy band from South Korea is on their 2024 world tour titled ZEROBASEONE THE FIRST TOUR TIMELESS SS WORLD, with Bangkok, Thailand, being the site of their latest event.

In his address, Jiwoong highlighted the significance of love without conditions and conveyed the group’s sincere love for their supporters. He encouraged everyone to embrace their true selves.

This heartfelt message quickly went viral on social media, amassing 256.4K views on X. Fans responded enthusiastically, with one stating:

“The sweetest boy, thank you for making us feel safe and loved.”

Many users interpreted his remarks as a nod to the LGBTQIA+ community, emphasizing the importance of acceptance.

“As a queer individual, I love being a Zerose so much I’m about to cry,”one fan shared.

“Being bisexual and unsure about why I like someone, Jiwoong and Zerobaseone mean the world to me. There are truly no conditions on love.”

“Hearing this as a queer fan who has always struggled with my identity means so much, I might actually cry right now,”wrote another user.

The fandom known as ZEROSEs praised Jiwoong and the entire group for fostering an inclusive environment for their queer supporters.

“This one is dedicated to all my queer Zeroses out there; Jiwoongie, thank you for reminding us that you are a safe space for all, regardless of who we are 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️,”another fan posted.

“Regardless of what anti-queer individuals say, Zerobaseone provides a safe space for us. They love us just as much as we love them. Thank you, Jiwoong! 😭😭,”commented yet another.

The context of Jiwoong’s speech was especially significant, as Thailand recently became the first nation in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, making his words even more poignant.

“I might be exaggerating, but the fact that he said this in Thailand holds particular importance, and I believe he chose this place for a reason 🥺,”shared a fan.

“Jiwoong’s words in Thailand, a safe haven for love, mean so much to me… my heart 🥹,”another fan wrote.
