211027 OP Blog Update From Meeting Kyungsoo
If I could express today in one word is the BEST. I was going to work and suddenly uh?? Doh Kyungsoo?? It’s really the real Doh Kyungsoo.. a couple days ago I thought that I hope Doh Kyungsoo come here just once hahahaha and today he’s really come. But I never believed it until I saw it with my own eyes, but I become sure that it’s actually Doh Kyungsoo after I saw the company he came with..☺ How long was that 20 minutes has passed? As I kept checking, Kyungsoo passed in front of my eyes. Wah~ I can’t say anything else. Really it was the real EXO’s Doh Kyungsoo that I like. I was like no way but really those people who came with Doh Kyungsoo are really amazing people, but I can’t see anyone else but Doh Kyungsoo.. After Doh Kyungsoo passed by, I waited for him to come back. Please come back here againㅠㅠ I don’t know what was I thinking while I work. Is it three hours? It’s about 2 hours 40 minutes until he passed by again. I was like no way, but he really didn’t come to the restaurant. At times like this, I really hate Corona, I really hate winterㅡㅡ I explained everything and bragged to the chief and aunty about this person who appeared on the movie and drama from the morning. When I’m fluttering alone, he just passes in front of me. I thought I understood now why and how to use the expression that time to stops. Wah.. there were only compliments for real. He doesn’t have much time so I packed a bunch of drinks and gave it right away, and I barely talked to him and asked for an autograph. He gladly accepted it and it makes me scream inside like 100 times. My hands were shaking while I asked for his sign on my phonecase. My introverted personality doesn’t work in front of Doh Kyungsoo. I think this will be the most memorable day of the year. The phone case he signed and the pen he used to sign I’ll keep it as a family treasure forever… btw guys, I didn’t shake my hand. It just touched slightly…

211018 Lyricist Jo Yoonkyung Mentioned Kyungsoo on Her Recent Interview
Q: In D.O.’s recently released solo album, I feel like I can read another feeling. It’s been a while since I’ve been comforted by the beautiful literary lyrics. It felt like I saw the next champion of a lyricist named Jo Yunkyung.
A: I don’t think I’m a lyricist with a clear signature. However, it is true that he likes to build up emotions step by step in beautiful letters and pronunciations. I thought it would be nice if D.O.’s new album was a story told by actor D.O., not EXO’s D.O. or idol D.O. I think actor D.O. is like a boy to me, he’s not an adult yet, but I like his face who has a strong heart that I could feel it. I thought about it for a long time because I wanted to tell a warm story told by such a person, a story with sympathy. I wrote “Dad” while recalling a picture of the relationship between a father and a son. Far but close, hate but look similar. In “It’s Love”, I wanted to talk about the love of people in their twenties and thirties. The song starts like this. “Giving love is like a luxury, and receiving it is far more difficult.” It is not a love that comes true, but a love that hesitates, a feeling of giving up on a relationship. I think that feeling is the shape of love that we can empathize with.

[TRANS] Big Issue magazine October Issue about Doh Kyungsoo.
The Magnitude of Gravity - About Doh Kyungsoo
He was born with a fate that deserves attention. When I look at Doh Kyungsoo, I feel that way. My first impression for him as EXO member D.O. was, “There is idol like that in the world…” The most famous episode about D.O. at the time of EXO’s debut was when he was so nervous when introducing his first debut stage MAMA that he changed “elegant orchestra” with a shaky pupil and said “su… superior orchestra”. Whenever the incident –which made fans laugh out loud – was mentioned, he seriously blamed himself for not doing well in what he should have done well. If you were looking at D.O., you might be thinking “why did you decide to become a celebrity in the first place?” who was standing behind the members and quietly reading the situation rather than doing anything. I was also curious about how SM Entertainment prepared an idol group. However, when he was given the opportunity to sing alone on a radio program, he sang without hesitation with a voice that we had never heard of among idol singers. What is it? A criminal like me couldn’t understand why a person with such charm and talents wouldn’t showing off in front of people. So, D.O. was a character who was always concerned about where he was and what he was doing even though he didn’t have the energetic and naughtiness of an idol. But when a smile suddenly spreads across D.O.’s face, I feel so relieved. A charm that makes viewers care even if he doesn’t do anything noticeable, we call this a starline.
From the first moment, he’s perfect.
Now is the age of idol-turned actors will be judged strictly by the public. But when D.O. first started acting. Even in the case of an idol group that is managed by a large agency like EXO and receives enthusiastic support from teenagers, it was a time when they had to go through a harsher gateway. However, D.O.’s unique bluntness became his own personality when he became actor Doh Kyungsoo. He was a rookie actor born with a self-deprecating atmosphere who acts as Kangwoo, who reflects the trauma of childhood domestic violence of Jang Jaeyeol (Jo Insung) in the drama “It’s Okay, That’s Love”. He’s strained as if he’s about to collapse, but he doesn’t show it easily, he has a face that makes you want to know what’s inside that box. So, Doh Kyungsoo was able to become a complete actor from the first moment in front of the camera. Since then, many people are aware of Doh Kyungsoo’s journey. In particular, as the face of a boy who faced the world he would not have known yet, he was the perfect fit as Taeyoung of the movie “Cart” is precocious enough to work part-time at a convenience store instead of putting a burden on her mother (Yeom Jeongah), who goes on strike against unfair dismissal. Taejeong, who works part-time in a DVD room to pay off student loans in “Room No.7”, also gets involved in drug crimes when he doesn’t get a salary from the boss (Shin Hakyun) and suffers from hardships. On the other hand, a psychopathic criminal who lacks empathy in “Remember You”, a country boy passing through his first love in “Pure Love”, a judo athlete who lost his sight in “My Annoying Brother”, Won Dongyeon, a soldier who full of concerned in the “Along with the Gods” series. On the other hand, he proved his flexible learning ability as a new actor, crossing the comedy unique of director Lee Byunghun in the web drama “Be Positive”. Therefore, the character variation of “100 Days My Prince,” who lost his memory as a cold crown prince and became a “Useless Man” who was criticized not being able to cut trees, gained convincing from many people and achieved great success (14.4% highest ratings, 4th highest TVN drama ratings at the time of airing). “Swing Kids”, his first one-top leading masterpiece, was a work that had to be played with his gestures and the pure passion that was only possible in his youth. Since he is a talented singer in dancing and singing, Roh Kisoo of Swing Kids shows that he is an unrivaled competitiveness that cannot be replaced by anyone else. (In addition I will always looking forward to singer D.O.’s future filmography who surprised a lot of people with his singing ability on his early debut day).
Kyungsoo’s Eyes
Doh Kyungsoo is an actor with eyes like no matter how old he gets, his boyishness will not completely vanished. However, his eyes that don’t break easily and his tightly closed lips gave him a surprisingly precocious feeling, so he always looked more mature than his peers, even at his age when he was actually close to a boy. He is an actor who is found to be unexpected the more he opens himself to various characters and acts, he updates the freshness that exceeds the primary surprise that the top idol group members are more stable than expected. An actor born with a star quality, unique character, and talent has been born. After serving in the military, Doh Kyungsoo’s fans say that he has changed a lot. In fact, people who have met him through interviews or worked with him say that he is the same as he used to be, but showing a more active image in communication with fans or releasing a solo album filled with only his own voice is definitely raises expectations for celebrity Doh Kyungsoo’s flexible activities. His first acting comeback after being discharged from military service is director Kim Yonghwa’s blockbuster sci-fi movie “The Moon”. Doh Kyungsoo plays the same situation as Matt Damon in “The Martian”, an astronaut who is left alone in space by an accidental accident waiting for rescue. His character was inspired by Johnny Kim, a Korean-American who became the first NASA astronaut and was in charge of the Artemis project, a lunar and Mars exploration project. Which resembles Doh Kyungsoo’s strong image. Rumor has it that Doh Kyungsoo, who is good at using his body, is filming on the filming site, considering the movement according to gravity of the earth, the gravity of the moon, and the zero gravity conditions. (Coincidentally, his superpower in “EXO Planet” is “Power/Force”. In other words, it is natural that he can do well in works such as “The Moon” when it comes to gravity.)
Another next project is a remake of the Taiwanese film “Secret”, starring Jay Chou. A youth romance with a time travel fantasy is also a project in which his teamwork with the opposite actor is important, a high-level piano performance is required, and above all, comparison with the original works is also a burden. Doh Kyungsoo will evolve once more when a precocious boy is old enough to be in charge of the nation’s space project, and a fresh face that will still suit him in a school uniform is added with dense emotions. Doh Kyungsoo is an actor who makes viewers concerned and always wonders what kind of project he will have as he has done so far.
