He had allegedly also said “fuck” in Korean when he thought the call was over.

평소에도 빠순이와의 영통이 끝나시면 인사를 씨~발이라고하시는 편인가요? 제가 잘 모르겠어서 제로즈님들의 의견이 궁금합니다 #김지웅 #제로즈_트친소 pic.twitter.com/128TqzuRfU

While he was hit with negative backlash from the general public, many fans are trying to defend him. Some have said that it could be the staff who said that instead. Many think that he would not sworn in such a public place, with fans, staff, and others present.

Some are trying to stay on the fence due to the shocking nature of the matter.

• Gonna stay on the fence first.
• It’s shocking, so I hope it’s just malicious editing… If it’s true, the fans are too pitiful.
• Huh?
• I pressed play in disbelief, but I was taken aback by how clearly you can hear it.

Other fans are simply trying to help clear the searches on Twitter, and spread praises and positivity for the star.
