The phone number used for directing at a female duo Davichi's concert has been identified as an actual number, which is controversial.

Davichi held the 2026 solo concert "TIME CAPSULE: Continuing Time" at KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul from the 24th to the 25th. At that time, at the opening of the performance, illusionist Lee Eun-gyeol went around the auditorium and handed out business cards with numbers.

On the business card, the combination of Davichi's debut year was written along with phrases such as "Do you know the time capsule" and "If you want to continue the time, call me right now." However, it became a problem because there was someone who was actually using this number. It is reported that some fans tried to call, causing damage to the number owner.

In response, Davichi's agency CAM Withers said on its official SNS on the 27th, "The number was used to direct the performance, and it is not a phone number for actual contact. There is currently a contact damage to the actual owner of the number, so please prohibit contacting the number."

Such cases have occurred not only in Davichi, but also in Netflix's "Squid Game," which was previously released in 2021. The business card received by the main character Ki-hoon (Lee Jung-jae) had numbers excluding "010". After the release of the work, some viewers who saw it tried to call the number by arbitrarily adding "010". As a result, the real number user A has complained of inconvenience with constant calls.

As the controversy grew, "Squid Game" said, "The number owner and the production company are continuously trying to resolve it by conducting face-to-face meetings with calls."

In November last year, Cha Eun-woo's album promotion caused damage due to number exposure. During the album promotion, the agency Fantagio held an event where Cha Eun-woo's pre-recorded voice was played before joining the army when connecting with the number "070".

However, during the event, some users misentered the number and connected it incorrectly. Fantagio said, "Some users entered the wrong number and got a call elsewhere. We sincerely apologize to those who have experienced inconvenience due to this," he said.
