The day before, Kim Dae-ho had shared a photo of himself drinking beer with pork belly during the day, saying, 'A life without a happy Friday.' He later updated about enjoying a fulfilling culinary trip in Jeju, saying, 'Excessive eating' and 'More.'
Previously, he posted proof shots of playing games at a PC room without worrying about work, saying, 'Resignation vibe,' and many people are sending him support as he enjoys his rest during this break from work.
