Fan community platform apps have become a staple for K-pop idols, actors, and celebrities in other fields. While the frequency of messages received may differ depending on the person, many use the app daily, creating a stronger bond between celebrities and fans.
Actor Lee Dong Wook is known for being relatable on Bubble because he talks comfortably as if texting a friend.
He frequently shares songs from his playlist and recommends them to his fans.

He talks about daily things like what his conversation was about after taking a phone call.
Hold on. Jo Se Ho is calling. The call is finished. He said he would send me a coffee truck to the filming site, but I said no. We all need to save money.

After first starting out with Bubble, he sent fans another song recommendation and welcomed fans.
The first meeting is always hard, but we always do well, don’t we? Yes, we are back to day one. Glad to meet you all here.

He also talked about the dessert Tanghulu and how he didn’t understand why it was a trend.
Ah yea I know Tanghulu is the trend. But I’ve never eaten it before and don’t plan on eating it either. It’s a big lump of sugar. I usually don’t like trendy foods. They are always hyping it up and I hate that lol.
— Lee Dong Wook
“I don’t understand why we must eat what others are eating; we should all eat what we want. If you are curious, then you should try it. But if you’re like me and have no interest, then there is no need to eat it. Just because I have no interest in trends doesn’t make me an old person. Are you going to keep chatting like that? Is that fun?
You have to know when to stop. Stop trying to argue with me! There is someone behind the screen, you know. That person is me! Oh, yeah, I’m releasing a movie soon.”

Most recently, he vented out his anger while watching a baseball game with his favorite team.
What is the charm of baseball? Nothing. I am just mad every day. Don’t watch it. Don’t try to know baseball.

For context, Lee is a Kia Tigers fans, and most recently, they lost to the Lotte Giants.
“KIA: 14 LOTTE: 1
KIA: 14 LOTTE 14
KIA: 14 LOTTE 15″
Netizens totally understood how he felt and empathized with him!
- “Wow I thought they played three games together, but that was all just in one game!”
- “I’m always super mad about it. How can a game go from 14: 1 to 15: 15…”
- “Oppa I was also so annoyed while watching it, too.”
- “Yesterday too…”
- “Wow…”
- “As a Lotte fan, we have no thoughts about this…we just wish that today’s game gets canceled due to rain.”
- “I’m a Kia fan, and I hope it gets canceled due to rain, too…”
- “I don’t watch baseball, but I heard about the game with Kia and Lotte and how they had a huge gap in points but ended up tied…I would have been so mad too.”
- “It’s so embarrassing that the photo of the points are being shown on such a big platform.”
- “What? I thought that was three different games…but that’s just one game?”
- “Wow…”
- “There was a rush of dopamine watching it in the beginning…but of course, it’s not over until it’s really over for baseball.”
- “Dong Wook-ah…lol”
