DJ DOC Lee Ha-neul revealed that he contacted and met with Kim Chang Youl, with whom he had long been in conflict, after two years. Recently he also raised his voice on behalf of Kim Chang Youl against excessive criticism, drawing attention to the change in their relationship.
On the 8th, a short video titled "Did Haneul contact Changyeol after two years?" was posted on Lee Ha-neul's YouTube channel.
Lee Ha-neul said he recently received the sad news of a close acquaintance's death. He explained that because of this he could not laugh and chatter and broadcast as usual, and that he took a week off from broadcasting to mourn.
Meanwhile, an unexpected contact also took place. Because the deceased had also known Kim Chang Youl, Lee Ha-neul himself called Kim Chang Youl. Lee Ha-neul said, "I contacted Changyeol at the funeral after two years. He is a younger person both Changyeol and I know," adding that Kim Chang Youl had not yet been informed of the death and "people were asking, 'Didn't Changyeol come?' so I just called him," describing the situation at the time.
On the call, Lee Ha-neul reportedly told Kim Chang Youl, "This is how it turned out. Come, pour a drink and leave." Kim Chang Youl, who received the call, also visited the funeral and paid his respects to the deceased, and the two met again after a long time.
In particular, Lee Ha-neul's recent reactions to online discussions surrounding Kim Chang Youl drew attention. In another video, when content about Kim Chang Youl and his mother was mentioned, Lee Ha-neul reacted angrily, saying, "This needs to be addressed." He expressed displeasure at people portraying Kim Chang Youl as an overly malicious figure based on unverified stories, criticizing, "They speak as if it's someone else's story without restriction." When Jeong Jae-yong, who was with him, wanted to check the video, Lee Ha-neul instead urged legal action, saying, "Call Changyeol and tell him to sue."
After previously publicly revealing their conflict, Lee Ha-neul this time was the one to contact Kim Chang Youl and raised his voice against excessive criticism directed at him. Although the two have not officially declared a "reconciliation," the news of their contact and reunion after two years has raised interest in whether the relationships among DJ DOC members are changing.
Previously, Lee Ha-neul and Kim Chang Youl performed together in DJ DOC for a long time, but after their conflict came to light, their discord continued.
