Shinhwa member Kim Dong-wan showed signs of being aware of the ongoing SNS controversy.
On the 4th, Kim Dong-wan posted on his personal Threads account, "These days, I always consult with GPT before posting anything. Sentence refinement, grammar checks, and potential for controversy. It's a relief to live in the AI era."
Kim Dong-wan also added, "Of course, the final responsibility lies with me. AI is still shameless."
Upon seeing this, one fan expressed sympathy for Kim Dong-wan, saying, "It's a world where we keep second-guessing ourselves even before writing a single word." In response, Kim Dong-wan commented, "I have to be more careful."
