ZEROBASEONE and N.Flying’s Yoo Hwe Sung were at the center of controversy following the 2024 Seoul International Drama Awards held on September 25, 2024. Fans expressed their anger over the way both acts were treated, especially regarding their performances, which were either cut short or canceled altogether.
Disappointment for ZEROBASEONE Fans
Despite being in the middle of their world tour, ZEROBASEONE made time to attend the event. However, their performance was abruptly shortened, leaving fans feeling disrespected. The group had barely introduced themselves when they were rushed into their performance. To add to the frustration, Ricky’s part of the performance was overshadowed by a commercial break. The quick conclusion to the performance left fans upset, feeling like the group was treated as an afterthought.

Fans of N.Flying’s Yoo Hwe Sung were even more disheartened. His anticipated performance was suddenly canceled due to venue delays. In a now-deleted statement on X (formerly Twitter), FNC Entertainment explained, “We regret to inform you that the congratulatory performance for the 2024 SBS Seoul Drama Awards, scheduled for today, has been canceled due to delays at the venue.”
Everything was so hurried, ZB1 literally sprinted on stage, performed without any greetings, and ran off of the stage again. Also the fanclub of N.Flying was sitting next to us in disbelief because they spent hours waiting just for their group to be cancelled last minute… https://t.co/kQJPHscVO7
Yoo Hwe Sung later shared a message, explaining that he was as surprised as the fans. “I don’t know all the details either,” he wrote. “I was backstage, ready to perform, but suddenly heard that my stage was canceled. I feel bad for my fans who came from early morning to see me.”
The events led to widespread criticism, with fans demanding a formal apology from the event organizers. Many questioned the lack of professionalism, especially when the artists made considerable efforts to attend. The situation has left fans wondering if their idols are being treated fairly at these high-profile events.
