The June 26 episode introduced the program’s first “Rainbow Summer Retreat,” designed to strengthen the bond between its cast members. Jun Hyun Moo announced that the group would stay at a youth hostel and asked everyone to bring one ingredient for a random bibimbap meal.
The preview showed a large number of familiar and recently added “Rainbow Club” members gathering for the trip. Jun Hyun Moo, Kian84, Code Kunst, Park Ji Hyun, Kim Dae Ho, SHINee’s Minho, Red Velvet’s Joy, Seo Bum June, Bae Na Ra, Park Kyung Hye and Lee Sun Min were among those seen.
Kim Shin Young, who initially worried about a schedule conflict with her radio program, also appeared during the retreat’s talent-show segment. However, Dowoon, who had continued appearing as a Rainbow Club member until recently, was not shown in the footage. His absence quickly led some viewers to wonder whether he had quietly left I Live Alone.
The speculation intensified because Dowoon was recently linked to marriage rumors involving creator Yoo Ji Yoo, the younger sister of well-known influencer Yoo Hye Joo. On May 26, JYP Entertainment responded to questions about the rumor by stating that it had “no position” to share.
After remaining silent for approximately two days, Dowoon posted a message on his official social media account in the early hours of May 28. “Our team will never disappear. I’m not going anywhere, so don’t read the negative posts. For the time being, even when you see posts about me, please ignore them. I’m sorry for causing you pain. Please wait a little,” he wrote.
Although the message reassured fans about DAY6’s future, it did not directly confirm or deny the dating and marriage claims. As a result, the rumors continued circulating online.
For now, claims that Dowoon has left I Live Alone remain speculation based solely on his absence from the retreat footage. Viewers are waiting for an official statement or future broadcasts to clarify whether he will continue appearing on the program.
