Day6 member Dowoon has decided to pause his paid communication service, "Bubble."

In a live broadcast on October 26, he started by saying, "I want to talk about something serious. There’s no excuse; I take full responsibility for what happened."

He discussed the Bubble platform, sharing, "Since it's a paid service, I should have been more attentive. I’ve been thinking about whether it's right to continue when I can’t do it well, so I talked with the company. I’ve decided to take a break from Bubble."

Dowoon added, "If I do start again, I want to take it on with responsibility. I thought the payments would be automatically refunded, so I didn't send any messages this month. "

He added, "But I learned that I need to apply for a refund myself. I’m really sorry for this confusion, and I hope you can apply for the refund. I should have communicated this sooner. I promise to prepare a nice surprise for you as a way to make it up."

He also shared, "Right now, I need to focus on my well-being. I’m figuring out how to do that, but please don’t worry too much. I’m thinking about how to improve things and stay healthier. I’m healthy at the moment."

In closing, he said, "From now on, whenever I start something new, I will think carefully about whether I can handle it properly and aim to be responsible. I will keep working hard as Dowoon who keeps trying."

Meanwhile, Day6 has been successful in their recent sold-out solo concerts, starting in Incheon and moving on to Kuala Lumpur, Bali, Surabaya, and Jakarta.

They will continue their world tour, "FOREVER YOUNG," with stops in Singapore on November 22, Bangkok from November 30 to December 1, Hong Kong on January 25-26, Osaka on February 12-13, Tokyo on February 15-16, and Manila on February 22.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
