You know how celebs sometimes get recognized in public, right? Well, sometimes it can lead to some pretty hilarious and awkward moments!

So, there’s this online community board that’s been blowing up lately. It’s all about this funny story DAY6’s Dowoon shared on Bubble.

Okay, so here’s what he said on Bubble: “I really think I’ve caught the ‘celebrity disease.’ I went out on the first floor for a second, and someone kept staring at me. I thought, ‘Ah, do they recognize me?’ so I turned my head, but it turned out it was because the flashlight on my phone was on, and it was shining in their eyes. So they were looking at me because I was out here with my phone flashlight turned on”

And then he added: “I must seriously have ‘celebrity disease’. If someone stares at me, I’m going to just keep staring at them until I can confirm first that they recognize me. To show that ‘Yes, it’s me!’ kinda vibe”.
