A former Singles Inferno contestant and well-known YouTuber has shared that he's been struggling with severe mental distress due to privacy invasion and stalking. He has now decided to take a break from his online activities to focus on his well-being.

On December 3, his agency, Kick the Hurdle Studio, posted an official statement announcing that his YouTube channel, Dex101, will be taking a longer break starting from December 2, 2024.

The agency explained, "Despite a busy schedule over the past four years, Dex has worked hard on the channel. However, recent events have made it clear that more restructuring is needed."

It was later confirmed that the artist in question is Dex (Kim Jin Young), who became known after his appearance on the popular Netflix dating show Singles Inferno.

The agency also revealed that they’ve been dealing with the unauthorized use of Dex's content, including his name, image, and videos.

They warned that such actions violate copyright law and could result in legal consequences, urging that all illegally used works be taken down by December 10, 2024.

In addition to the copyright issues, the agency expressed their deep concern over ongoing stalking. They reported that Dex has been followed to his home and targeted with unauthorized photos and videos during his personal time.

The agency also condemned the spread of false information and rumors about Dex, which have caused mental distress not only to him but also to his family. They stated that they will take legal action against anyone involved in these harmful behaviors.

This announcement comes after Dex’s appearance on Zombieverse: New Blood, which was released on Netflix on November 19.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
