On the 28th, Don Spike posted on his SNS: "Low & Slow will join us at the EDC Festival taking place this coming weekend at Incheon Inspire Resort." He added, "We have carefully prepared handmade pulled pork and brisket sandwiches smoked over oak for more than 10 hours (truly made by hand, to the point where employees were groaning in protest)."

He further stated, "See you at Inspire on the 3rd–4."

Regarding the sales proceeds, he said, "A portion of the profits will be donated to the Narcotics Recovery Association, which works hard for drug addiction recovery and rehabilitation."

Previously, Don Spike personally announced that he was preparing a new restaurant in Gampo, Gyeongju. On the 10th, via SNS, he shared: "I took time to reflect on my past life while repenting for the mistakes I made four years ago. It was a precious moment to vow on how to live out the rest of my life so as not to repeat the same errors."

He continued, "With the help of kind people, I am now preparing a fresh start in Gampo, by the beautiful seaside of Gyeongju." He currently operates the barbecue restaurant Low & Slow in Seoul and the meat restaurant Barbacoa Bay in Gyeongju.

Meanwhile, Don Spike was brought to trial on charges including purchasing and using methamphetamine from December 2021 to September 2022. In the first instance, he was sentenced to three years in prison with a five-year probation period, but in the 2023 appeal trial, a two-year prison sentence was finalized.
