Mixed duo TOGEWORL members Do Dae-yoon and Lim Kim are set to appear on a broadcast together for the first time in 12 years.
The production team for the new KBS 2TV variety show Happy Together - Glad Not to Be Alone recently teased the appearance of TOGEWORL through their official social media channels. The released teaser video features Do Dae-yoon and Lim Kim appearing side-by-side with the caption, "TOGEWORL, meeting for the first time in 10 years and feeling a bit awkward." The two smiled awkwardly while posing for a heart gesture, delighting long-time fans.
This marks the first time in effect that TOGEWORL has appeared together on a broadcast since their time on Mnet's Superstar K3 in 2011.
Do Dae-yoon and Lim Kim were discovered through auditions in the United States and participated in the competition under the name TOGEWORL, which signifies a team formed after just two months. They gained immense popularity, eventually finishing in third place.
TOGEWORL garnered attention as a mixed duo that blended Lim Kim's unique vocal tone with Do Dae-yoon's sweet voice and guitar playing. However, the team entered a long hiatus as Do Dae-yoon moved to New Jersey in the U.S., while Lim Kim continued her career as an actor and singer. Later, Lim Kim transformed into the persona Lim Kim, showcasing a more intense musical style and earning recognition for her artistry.
In 2024, Do Dae-yoon appeared on KBS Joy's Ask Anything and revealed that he had faced severe mental health struggles due to sudden fame and a hectic schedule following Superstar K3. He shared that around the age of 20, he was forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital by his mother due to symptoms of bipolar disorder and underwent two months of treatment. Since then, Do Dae-yoon has transitioned into a solo artist and shared the stage with Lim Kim for the first time in a long while at the 2024 Seoul Jazz Festival.
Happy Together - Glad Not to Be Alone is a new KBS 2TV variety show hosted by Yu Jae-seok, director Jang Hang-jun, and Yoon Jong-shin. It is a storytelling music audition program that features the stories and performances of various life teammates, marking the return of the Happy Together series six years after it concluded in 2020.
