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'.
Thank you for trusting me, my friend. I'm good at taking pictures. I'm a street photographer from a group called #day6.
