The 'Street Photographer' in Rome Who Turned Out to Be a Global K-Pop Idol

Is he a world-class drummer or a talented street photographer? A heartwarming story of DAY6's Dowoon acting as a humble photographer for a couple in Italy is going viral once again, proving that his charms extend far beyond the stage.

A Surprise Encounter in the Heart of Rome

In a series of photos shared on social media, a handsome man was spotted carefully taking photos of a couple on a street in Italy. While his striking looks caught the attention of passersby, the couple reportedly had no idea they were being photographed by a K-pop star. On November 9, 2023, Dowoon confirmed the interaction by posting the shots on his own Instagram, humorously introducing himself as a 'street photographer'.

K-Pop Idols and the Art of Photography

Photography has become a key skill for modern idols. From BLACKPINK's Jisoo, who is known as the queen of mirror selfies, to SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, who wows fans with professional-grade shots of his members, idols are using lenses to connect with the world. Dowoon's humble approach in Rome further highlights this artistic trend.
