On October 14, actor and Shinhwa member Kim Dong Wan gained attention for his cryptic Instagram post.
The post did not provide specific context, making netizens curious as to who the message was targeted toward.
I hate it when you show up on my feed, no matter what. Just hate me. Just like me. Please.
— Kim Dong Wan
Later, he deleted the post and reposted, “I’m at peace! Good night~!”
Most recently, he posted another Instagram story apologizing to fans.
I apologize for causing concern. Nothing has happened, so please don’t worry. I’ve been writing so many lyrics to write a song that many stories have grown inside me. I am going crazy in my room. I received so many calls asking if the message was about them. They are all fictional characters. Pajama room <Dream of the Freshwater Eel> will be going up tonight!

Previously, he drew attention with his post about refusing to appear on TV programs.
“I wish they’d stop sending offers for variety shows. I don’t have the confidence to make people laugh, and I don’t want to share my true story publicly. Bringing up my past only hurts me. Can’t I pretend to be happy and successful and live quietly? I wish they’d leave me alone.
If I’ve made excuses about my schedule three times, please know when to stop. Of course, you guys are just doing your job.”
