Dowoon from K-pop group DAY6 appeared in Elle magazine's September issue pictorial alongside the cast of Netflix's variety show 'Why Would You Climb?' The show features four mountaineering beginners who formed a team called 'Hassanakhoei' to tackle a winter mountain climbing challenge. In an interview, Dowoon revealed he took on the role of a supportive 'Doraemon' character, constantly providing snacks and supplies like energy bars and yokan to team members. He emphasized wanting to be helpful through actions rather than words. When asked about similarities between drumming and mountain climbing, Dowoon said "mountains have a summit you can conquer, but drums seem impossible to fully master - I just want to play consistently every day to my satisfaction." The black and white pictorial showcases Dowoon's warm chemistry with fellow cast members as they completed an unexpectedly strong teamwork through the harsh mountain expedition.
