HOW I ALMOST MISSED ZEROBASEONE'S TIMELESS WORLD' IN MANILA

As much as I love Zerobaseone, I have to admit that the Manila leg of their concert didn’t start off well — at least for me.

It wasn’t because of anything the boys did, but rather because I found myself in the back of an ambulance just hours before the show was set to begin.

I was tasked with assisting the team responsible for strapping, ensuring they had enough lanyards and photocards. While busy with my duties, an intense pain suddenly erupted in my stomach, sharp and overwhelming, as if I’d been stabbed. I cried out and doubled over, immediately drawing the attention of my teammates, who rushed to help. They quickly called for our medics, who loaded me into a wheelchair and wheeled me to one of the ambulances parked behind the Mall of Asia Arena, ready for emergencies like this.

As the medics assessed my condition, my mind raced with visions of a ruptured appendix and the likelihood of being rushed to the nearest emergency room. Panic set in — not just about my health, but at the thought of missing Zerobaseone: Sung Han Bin, Kim Ji Woong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Ricky, Kim Gyu Vin, Park Gun Wook, and Han Yu Jin. The idea was simply unbearable.
