After a real, in-use phone number was printed on business cards distributed during the staging for Davichi's concert, causing damage, the agency personally asked people, "Please do not contact that number."
On the 27th, Davichi's agency, CAM WITHUS, said in an official statement, "The number written on the business card used in the staging of the '2026 Davichi Solo Concert: Time Capsule: Connecting Time' is merely a prop for the concert concept and is not an actual phone number for contact."
It added, "The actual owner of the number is currently reporting damage from calls and texts," and requested, "Please refrain from contacting that number to prevent further damage."
Davichi met fans at the solo concert "Time Capsule: Connecting Time" at KSPO DOME in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 24th to 25th. The business card in question was part of the opening staging; illusionist Lee Eun-gyeol appeared onstage and handed it out to the audience as a prop.
The card included phrases such as "Do you know a time capsule?", "Dreams that cannot be achieved right now – two long-term storage specialists always acting on your behalf", "If you want to connect time, call now. 8282", and "If there is a dream you haven't thrown away yet, leave it here for a while."
At the bottom, there was a description reading "Free consultation/direct connection," along with an eight-digit phone number in the format "2○○○-2○○○." The number was reportedly created as a symbolic figure carrying meaning related to Davichi, such as the group's debut year.
However, even though a prefix like "010" or "02" was not shown on the card, some audience members entered only the eight digits and were connected, leading to the actual number owner receiving unwanted contacts.
Similar cases have recurred in the past. In the 2021 Netflix series "Squid Game," an eight-digit number shown in the drama matched a real number, and the victim said, "Since the broadcast, calls and texts have poured in 24 hours a day, making daily life difficult."
Also, in November last year, Fantagio, the agency of singer-actor Cha Eun-woo, faced a misdialing issue during an ARS event held to promote a new album. Some fans entered the "070" number incorrectly, causing harm to users of similar numbers, and the agency at the time issued an official apology expressing regret.
As the use of numbers for staging effects repeatedly leads to real damage, there are calls for more meticulous review during concert and content production.
