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.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
