Jo Jung Suk had a major broadcasting slip-up that led to his secret identity being exposed during a live stream!

On February 13, a video was uploaded on the Cheonggyesan Daengi Records YouTube channel, featuring a live broadcast by “Daengi Appa”, the dad character of Daengi.

The video started with Daengi Appa greeting viewers, explaining that he’d planned to stream after hitting 400,000 subscribers, but due to some technical issues, the subscriber count dropped to 375,000. He decided to go ahead with a test broadcast instead.

While speaking to the viewers, Daengi Appa tried to keep his face hidden with an emoji sticker. However, during the broadcast, he absentmindedly scratched his face, causing the emoji filter to disappear for a brief moment—revealing Jo Jung Suk’s face!

Although he quickly switched back to the emoji, his flustered expression gave it away. He laughed and said, "My face is turning red. Can you not see it?"

Viewers immediately began flooding the chat with comments like “Professor Lee Ik Jun,” “Hedwig,” and “He looks like that actor!”

Daengi Appa tried to play it cool, denying the “broadcast accident,” but his visible blush made everyone laugh.

He quickly ended the stream, saying, “If I keep going, I won’t be able to move much or turn my head, so I think this is enough.”

Fans had a blast in the comments, joking about how quickly the broadcast ended after his face was revealed.

Some even pointed out how Jo Jung Suk couldn’t stop laughing during the awkward moment. "He really got caught," one commenter wrote, while another added, "Is he giving up on hiding now?"

Jo Jung Suk’s alter ego, "Daengi Appa," has been a mysterious figure on Cheonggyesan Daengi Records, known for posting cover songs with his face hidden.

Despite fans quickly realizing it was him, Jo Jung Suk has always denied it. In a past appearance on the Lee Ji Geum channel, he said, "It’s really similar. AI technology has advanced so much. It’s amazing," but continued to keep his identity under wraps.

At a press conference for the Netflix variety show A-list to Playlist, Jo Jung Suk teased, "I think it’s time to reveal it now. Please pretend you don’t know. I want to keep fighting against the world’s preconceived notions and biases."

Looks like Jo Jung Suk's secret is finally out!

Sunmi is caught up in controversy after the NFT project she promoted made billions of KRW—only to lose most of its value, leaving investors frustrated.

According to Kyunghyang Shinmun on February 21, Sunmi, her agency, and a KOSDAQ-listed company launched the NFT collection Sunmiya Club in February 2022.

The project used blockchain technology to verify ownership of digital assets, turning illustrations inspired by Sunmi’s career into NFTs. Buyers were promised exclusive services to increase their investment value.

Thanks to Sunmi’s strong promotion, the NFTs were a huge success at first, selling out and making billions of KRW.

However, things took a turn when the NFT market crashed due to the Terra-Luna crisis and the bankruptcy of the U.S. crypto exchange FTX in late 2022.

By 2023, Sunmiya Club had stalled, and the once high-value NFTs dropped to just tens of thousands of KRW.

As investors faced major losses, some turned their frustration toward Sunmi. In response, the company behind the project stated, “We have fully followed the roadmap announced at the beginning and have continued operations.

The funds raised from the NFTs were used for operational costs and investments in a new platform launched last year.”

Despite the company’s defense, many are still questioning what went wrong and whether Sunmi will address the backlash.
