Doh Kyungsoo Discusses ‘Blossom’, Farming, and Touring Without EXO Members

Doh Kyungsoo might be a 12 year veteran in the music industry but he still gets nervous about one important thing. D.O. recently admitted that he is nervous about going on a concert tour without EXO members!

Doh Kyungsoo Admits Worries About Touring Without EXO Members

In a captivating feature for Harper’s Bazaar Korea, EXO’s Doh Kyung Soo, fondly known as D.O., delves into his highly anticipated solo venture, marking his first comeback since parting ways with SM Entertainment. With his solo mini album, ‘Blossom,’ set to release on May 7, anticipation reaches a crescendo as fans eagerly await his musical offerings. D.O.’s interview offers a glimpse into his creative process and the emotions intertwined with his solo debut, promising a captivating journey for listeners. As he embarks on this new chapter of his career, D.O. emerges as a multifaceted artist poised to leave an indelible impression with his soulful vocals and artistic vision.

In explaining the title ‘Blossom’, Doh said, “The album’s keyword is the subject matter from my experience that I wanted to talk about the most right now. After all, in our lives, we all grow one step at a time. We grow even as we feel pain, and we grow even when we’re struggling. I really wanted [this album] to be an opportunity for everyone who listens to it—and also for me—to become a bit sturdier.”

He then spoke about his upcoming solo fan tour, admitting his nervousness about going on his own. “Up until now, I’ve always promoted with my [fellow EXO] members, so I didn’t have many opportunities to stand on stage alone,” he explained. “During this fan-con tour of Asia, I’ll be singing multiple songs on my own. So I’m really nervous, but I’m also equally excited. When I see the eyes of my fans on stage, I gain a ton of energy. That huge energy I receive becomes my driving force.”

Doh also discussed the show “GBRB: Reap What You Sow” where he tried farming for the first time.

“When I saw the older man next door farming, it looked so easy,” he remarked, “but after briefly becoming a farmer, I realized that it was an amazing job that not anyone can do.”

He then added, “When I eat, I’m definitely not going to leave any perilla leaves or lettuce on the table [uneaten]. I’m also going to finish all my rice no matter what, without leaving any of it uneaten.”

D.O.’s mini album ‘Blossom’ will be released on May 7, 2024.

EXO Finally Releases Special ‘Love Fool’ MV

The wait is finally over. EXO has officially released the special ‘Love Fool’ MV that was originally shot for their 12th-anniversary fan meeting earlier this month.

EXO Drops Special ‘Love Fool’ MV

On April 22, the official EXO YouTube account uploaded the special music video. It features Suho, Xiumin, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, and D.O. preparing sweet delights. The MV concludes with the members sharing a dedication to EXO-Ls.

‘Love Fool’ was featured in EXO’s seventh studio album ‘Exist’ which was released in July 2023. Although it was never released, it proved to be one of EXO’s most beloved B-sides.

Interestingly, one of the EXO members originally had some trouble remembering that they have a song titled ‘Love Fool’. During an online fan sign last year, an EXO-L asked Chen to sing ‘Love Fool’ for her. However, Kim Jongdae had trouble remembering the song. In fact, he wasn’t even sure that the group had a song with that title from their recently released album.

Although Chen needed to be reminded about the song, it’s clear that he made a note to always remember it. EXO did not perform ‘Love Fool’ in their recent fan event but it was turned into the special MV that the group presented before the encore. Not surprisingly, Eris loved it so much and were immediately hoping it would get released.

In related news, the group had an awesome interaction with their long-absent member Lay. On April 21, Zhang Yixing went on Instagram Live as he was on his way to a music show appearance to promote his new single “Psychic”. As he was answering questions from fans, he was interrupted by a video call from fellow EXO member Chanyeol, who was in Japan for a solo schedule. The two then spoke about a possible collaboration on Chayeol’s upcoming solo project.
