'Shinhwa group member and actor Kim Dong-wan is suspending his SNS activities.

'Kim Dong-wan shared on his SNS on the 12th, "From now on, Instagram and Threads will be managed by the office. Please stay healthy," and added, "Let's meet again warmly offline someday."

'Kim Dong-wan has been at the center of controversy for continuing to make firm statements on various issues. The public's reaction, feeling fatigue from his repeated cycle of controversy and apologies, was also significant.

'In particular, he faced fierce criticism in February after posting a message advocating for the legalization of prostitution. He also faced backlash for defending MC Dingdong, who was involved in a controversy over assaulting a female BJ, and Lee Soo, a member of MC the Max, who has a history of sexual crimes involving minors.

'Recently, he became a topic of discussion by stating, "There is no need to criticize Yoo-tung. Everyone lives their own life," regarding Yoo-tung, who has experienced eight marriages and divorces.

'Ultimately, with restrictions placed on his SNS activities, he had previously written, "I have always been this kind of person. People who are understood but also criticized, who laugh while laughing and then talk about loneliness, are similar to those from the old PC communication era. I recently received a proposal far beyond my worth. Perhaps this is the last hand I will extend in my life, so I am trying to return with a slightly more combative face once again."

'Meanwhile, Kim Dong-wan debuted as a member of the group Shinhwa in 1998 and is currently active as an actor. He appeared in the KBS 2TV drama "Please Take Care of the Five Eagles!" last year.
