Our boy Kim Ji Woong made it!

On April 20th, MNET’s Boys Planet has finally revealed its PLANET TOP9 and will be debuting in a nine-member boy group “ZEROBASEONE” or ZB1 with a meaning of starting from zero, there is infinity possibility from zero. The group will be promoting together for 2 years and 6 months following the end of the show.

Kim Ji Woong is a 24-year-old South Korean singer/ actor, and a former member of a five-member-idol-group INX (인엑스). He made his debut in acting in a web drama series named, ‘The Sweet Blood (2021)’. He is known as an actor in Idol Romance’s Korean BL web dramas, ‘Kissable Lips’ and ‘Roommates Of Poongduck 304’. Last December 29, 2022, it was revealed that Kim Ji Woong will join Boys’ Planet, a survival show that presents the potential of boys from all around the world.

I had many ups and downs. Yet I never gave up because I was desperate to be on the stage. I believe this is my last chance. I want to show everyone what I’m good at, and since I’ll be on the stage as I always wanted, I will make the debut. — Kim Ji Woong, Boys Planet EP 12

And the proudest moment happened as Kim Ji Woong’s name was announced as rank 8 and secured his spot in the debuting boy group. In his speech, he thanked everyone for voting for him — and what’s funny he just forgot the name of his group. And the BL community rejoices upon hearing the good news!
