Kim Dong-wan is once again stirring conversation—this time with a bold idea that could put both him and his members in the hot seat.
On April 2, he took to Threads to share that he wants to gather a few Shinhwa members this year to appear on ‘Jorong Janchi,’ a web variety show known for its no-holds-barred roasting format.
What caught attention wasn’t just the idea—but his approach to it.
“I’ll probably get roasted the most,” he wrote, adding that he would rather take the hit himself since the other members might not handle the format as well. Framed as a joke, the comment still highlighted his willingness to lean into the chaos.
‘Jorong Janchi’ is hosted by comedians including Lee Yong-jin and is built around revisiting a guest’s past through humor—often pushing boundaries with sharp, comedic jabs.
The suggestion arrives at a time when Kim Dong-wan is already under scrutiny. Recent remarks on controversial topics and his public defense of figures involved in past issues have kept him in the spotlight.
That context makes the idea feel even more layered—part humor, part risk.
Still, for longtime fans, it’s also very much in line with his personality: candid, unpredictable, and unafraid to step forward first.
