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.

Singer Henry revealed a surprising family story—he found out about his younger sister’s wedding at the last minute through a group chat!

On March 7, Henry is set to appear on Choi Daniel’s talk show Choi Da Cheese, where he candidly opened up about his family, childhood, and personal thoughts on marriage.

During the pre-recorded session, he shocked everyone with a story about how his own family was unaware of his sister’s wedding.

Henry shared, "When I was young, all I thought about was playing the violin and piano. My older brother, younger sister, and I were always surrounded by music, so our house felt like a music academy."

But then, he dropped a bombshell: "Recently, my sister suddenly sent a photo in our family group chat and announced her wedding. Not only me, but even our mom and dad had no idea. We were all shocked."

At first, Henry admitted he felt hurt, but after hearing his sister’s explanation, he began to understand. "She told me, ‘I didn’t want to feel stressed while preparing for the wedding. I wanted to do it just for myself.’ After hearing that, I understood her a little more."

Choi Daniel then teased him, asking, "When are you getting married? Are you going to do it quietly like your sister?"

Henry immediately shook his head, making everyone laugh, and said, "No way! I want to invite the whole world."

Henry also revealed a lesser-known side of himself beyond his "musical genius" image.

He confessed, "People think I’m naturally good, but the truth is, I have to practice three to four times more than others. Even when I stay up all night, I don’t show it."

The episode will also feature Henry talking about his first meeting with Choi Daniel, his views on marriage, and his journey in music and variety shows.

Fans can catch his full interview when Choi Da Cheese airs on March 7 at 7 PM KST on YouTube’s M:USB channel.
