ZEROBASEONE‘s Gunwook was met with criticism for his behavior during a recent livestream — but netizens aren’t buying it.
During a birthday livestream for another member, Gunwook was seen eating 11 of 14 strawberries off of the cake.
The ‘strawberry controversy’ is that Gunwook, who ate 11 strawberries even though there are 9 members, seems to be the one to blame. It’s not even his birthday cake; it’s someone else’s birthday cake, so why did he eat so much?
딸기 논란은 멤버가 9명인데 딸기 11개 쳐먹은 건욱이가 돼야할거같은데?

While some netizens believed this behavior to be selfish in the presence of the other members, many chimed about how ridiculous the “controversy” is.
This is so hilarious. Every time there’s a controversy, it’s always some ridiculously funny one that I’ve never seen before. Embarrassing.

Others found Gunwook’s big appetite endearing.
The kid seems to have a huge appetite. Even in the self-filmed content, there’s no food left in front of the other members, but he’s the only one with a full plate, lol. This is so funny. At this rate, I might end up getting attached to Gunwook.
애가원래식탐이쳐많은듯
자컨에서도 모든멤버들 앞엔 먹을게없는데
얘혼자 한가득임ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아개웃긴다

When the post gained traction on a Korean forum, netizens found the whole thing silly.
