K-Star Forced to Halt Activities: Togeworl's Do Dae-yoon Reveals Severe Bipolar Disorder, Was Once Forcibly Hospitalized by Mother

Do Dae-yoon, a member of the Korean duo Togeworl, recently opened up in a rare interview about why he suddenly left the stage at the peak of their career. He revealed that he was suffering from severe bipolar disorder at the time, and even publicly stated in 2024 that his mother had him admitted to a psychiatric hospital against his will when he was experiencing severe mental health difficulties.

Togeworl Returns as a Full Duo After 13 Years

Do Dae-yoon appeared alongside Kim Ye-rim on the July 17 broadcast of KBS2's 'Happy Together: Happy Because We’re Not Alone,' marking Togeworl's first return as a complete duo in 13 years. Their appearance immediately surprised Yoon Jong-shin, who served as a judge on Mnet's 'Superstar K3' back then.

Yoon Jong-shin recalled that when Togeworl participated in 'Superstar K3' in 2011, they were a team he personally selected during the New York preliminaries, and he described them as his favorite duo in the competition. Togeworl ultimately placed 3rd, successfully entering the entertainment industry.
