Do Kyung-soo, or D.O. if you’re down with K-pop, is basically a total powerhouse in the South Korean entertainment scene. Most folks know him as that soulful main vocalist in EXO and EXO-K—yeah, the group that’s been everywhere since the early 2010s. But honestly, he’s not just a singer. He’s been all over your Netflix queue too, with an acting résumé that’s kinda wild for someone his age. Flicks like Pure Love, Room No.7, and Swing Kids? All him. He’s done dramas too—100 Days My Prince was huge, and he snagged a bunch of awards for that one. He didn’t just stumble into stardom either. The dude’s been belting out tunes since elementary school, crushing singing contests in high school, and then landing a spot at SM Entertainment after some local competition win. He trained for a couple years, got officially introduced as EXO’s eighth member in 2012, and pretty much shot to fame overnight. By 2014, D.O. was flexing some serious acting chops in the movie Cart, and people noticed—critics, too. He kept the momentum going, nabbing a role in It’s Okay, That’s Love, and next thing you know, the awards started rolling in. Fast forward a bit: he’s playing a judo athlete in My Annoying Brother alongside Jo Jung-suk and Park Shin-hye, and boom—he wins Best New Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. Then there’s his military service, which, yeah, every Korean guy has to do, but D.O. handled it like a pro—he even dropped a solo track the day he enlisted. The guy’s unstoppable.
EXO isn’t just some average K-pop group—they basically helped shape the whole scene. Put together by SM Entertainment back in 2012, EXO quickly blew up, not just in South Korea but everywhere. The group's known for their insane vocals, sharp dance moves, and, honestly, visuals that make everyone do a double-take. They started out with two subunits, EXO-K and EXO-M, targeting both Korean and Chinese audiences. Smart move, right? Their music’s all over the place, from R&B to EDM, and somehow, they just nail every genre. Massive hits like “Growl,” “Call Me Baby,” and “Love Shot” have turned into straight-up anthems for fans. Over the years, they’ve racked up a ridiculous number of awards and even performed at the 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony. No kidding, their influence on pop culture is wild, and their fandom—called EXO-L—is legendary for a reason.
