In one photo, she wore Umbro trousers. So what? Well, DAY6 and Dowoon are ambassadors for this brand. Fans also pointed out similar plants and fishing cat decorations in their posts. Some said Yoo Ji Yoo followed friends of another DAY6 member. Others claimed Dowoon visited her father in the hospital.

Honestly, what is the big deal? Even if Dowoon is dating or not, that is his personal life. This harsh scrutiny is why many idols are afraid to date, and it makes me really sad. They should have the freedom to love whoever they want without fear. Whether the rumours are true or false, Dowoon’s private choices belong to him. I believe fans should enjoy the music and support the band instead of getting angry. More understanding would make the K-pop world better for everyone.
