As malicious comments continue to pour in towards creator Yoo Ji Yoo amid widespread dating and marriage rumors involving DAY6 member Dowoon, a heartfelt message believed to be left by his mother has caught the attention of netizens.
A comment believed to be written by Yoo Ji Yoo’s mother appeared under a video uploaded on May 28 to the creator’s YouTube channel, “Jiyoorobge.” The commenter wrote, “Ji Yoo, don’t even look at those mean, malicious comments. Ignore them completely. Just think about yourself. You know what I mean, right?” Many interpreted the message as a mother’s loving attempt to shield her daughter from the sudden public attention and speculation surrounding her. In addition to the family’s encouragement, supportive comments from longtime subscribers and some DAY6 fans also continued to appear on the channel.
Dating rumors first gained traction last month when alleged evidence photos and eyewitness accounts began circulating online. Some netizens pointed out similarities between stickers and key chains seen on the couple’s phone cases, as well as matching home interior items. Further speculation emerged after some claimed that a dog seen inside Dowoon’s vehicle appeared to be the same breed as Yoo Ji Yoo’s pet dog.
The rumors quickly escalated beyond simple dating allegations after reports surfaced that the two had been spotted hooking up with a wedding planner. This has fueled speculation that the couple may be preparing for marriage. In response, Dowoon’s agency, JYP Entertainment, said on May 26 that it had “no separate statement” regarding the matter. However, many members of the public interpreted the agency’s ambiguous response as an indirect acknowledgment, leading to even more extreme rumors, including unfounded claims about DAY6’s potential dissolution.
As the situation continued to escalate, Dowoon eventually addressed fans directly through his personal account on May 28, in an attempt to calm growing concerns.
In his message, Dowoon wrote, “Our team will never disappear, even if we die. I won’t go anywhere. Don’t even look at the negative posts, and for now, even if you see posts related to me, just ignore them. I’m sorry I caused you pain. Please wait a little longer.” His statement reflects the emotional toll the controversy has had on him and his fans.
Born in 1995, Dowoon debuted with DAY6 in 2015 and has earned plenty of love through hit songs including “You Were Beautiful,” “Time of Our Life” and “Welcome to the Show.” Meanwhile, Yoo Ji Yoo, born in 1996, is currently active as a content creator. She is also known as the younger sister of Yoo Hye Joo, who gained popularity through the TV variety show “Ulzzang Generation”.
