DAY6 drummer Dowoon shared an emotional message with fans during the group’s 10th anniversary encore concert, prompting many to interpret his remarks as a response to recent dating rumors involving YouTuber Yoo Ji Yoo.
The band held their “THE DECADE” concerts from July 3 to 5 at KSPO DOME in Seoul, celebrating a decade since their debut. During the opening night concert, Dowoon reflected on his promise to fans. “When I became a celebrity, I promised that I would only show you my best side, but I feel like I haven’t been able to keep that promise. I’m sorry.”

I truly love you all. The reason I exist is because I hope to help and empower each of you in some way.”
Dowoon also reaffirmed his commitment to both DAY6 and the fandom. “We will be together for life. Please continue to watch over us. I will do my best not to cause trouble for those around me. I love you.”
Many fans believe Dowoon’s emotional speech was an indirect response to dating and marriage rumors that recently linked him to YouTuber Yoo Ji Yoo. Speculation first surfaced in May, when online users said they had discovered several pieces of circumstantial evidence suggesting the two were having an affair.
Among the claims were:
- Alleged matching couple articles featured on their respective social media channels.
- It reports that Yoo Ji Yoo’s dog was seen traveling in a vehicle believed to belong to Dowoon.
- Speculations about Yoo Ji Yoo’s visit to a hotel’s Chinese restaurant, which fans associated with DAY6’s 10th anniversary collaboration held at the same hotel.
None of these claims have been independently verified. Following the spread of the rumors, JYP Entertainment declined to comment on Dowoon’s personal life, stating only: “We don’t have an official position.” The agency neither confirmed nor denied the dating speculation.
Despite the rumors, DAY6 successfully concluded its anniversary concerts, with many fans expressing appreciation for Dowoon’s honesty and emotional sincerity on stage.
While speculation about his personal life continues online, neither Dowoon nor Yoo Ji Yoo have publicly confirmed or denied the relationship, leaving the rumors unverified.
