Boy Group Member Catches The “Celebrity Disease” And Now Everyone Knows About It

Celebrities are bound to have encountered instances where someone recognizes them in public.

But in some situations, it can cause a quite funny yet embarrassing moment!

Recently, an online community board garnered much attention regarding DAY6 Dowoon‘s funny story on Bubble.

I really think I’ve caught the ‘celebrity disease.’ I went out on the first floor for a second, and someone kept staring at me. I thought, ‘Ah, do they recognize me?’ so I turned my head, but it turned out it was because the flashlight on my phone was on, and it was shining in their eyes. So they were looking at me because I was out here with my phone flashlight turned on.

I must seriously have ‘celebrity disease’. If someone stares at me, I’m going to just keep staring at them until I can confirm first that they recognize me. To show that ‘Yes, it’s me!’ kinda vibe.

Korean netizens thought his story was adorable and could relate to the phone flashlight always turning on.

• “I mean this in the best way possible when I say he’s so funny in the most non-celebrity-like way.”
• “I know, the phone flashlight always turns on by itself.”
• “Such a cute puppy.”
• “Legendary celebrity disease.”
• “Flashlight…f*ck lol.”
• “Ah he’s so funny.”
• “I can totally relate to the phone flashlight. But hey you’re the real celebrity here.”

• “It’s hilarious how the message starts with ‘No but really’. Are we your friend? Lol.”
• “I went on Twitter after seeing this and ‘Celebrity disease’ was trending at number two. Now everyone knows he has celebrity disease.”
• “Dowoon why is your flashlight on?”
• “So cute lol.”
• “So freaking hilarious.”
• “So funny.”
• “Ahhh I’m going crazy.”
