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.

“Strangely, there are some characters that keep weighing on my mind. When that happens, I tend to do them,” she concluded.

It certainly works for Bae Suzy who always works on critically-acclaimed TV shows and films. She previously worked on shows like Vagabond and Start-Up and her film Wonderland was screened at the 76th Cannes Film Festival.

TWICE’s Nayeon ‘Confused’ After Contract Renewal

Nayeon is feeling positive about her career. The TWICE lead singer spoke about the group’s contract renewal with JYP Entertainment. Im Na-yeon explained that things are looking up but it also had her “confused” for some time.

Nayeon Confirms Awesome Changes Since TWICE Renewed Contract With JYPE

In July 2022, TWICE survived the seven-year curse as all nine members renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment. The girl group has been thriving since then. This is evident in Nayeon as she graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s May issue.

In an interview with the magazine, the “Pop!” singer revealed that there were several positive changes since the contract renewal.

“It feels like the house I live in has become warmer. It is more stable when the members come together more closely, understand each other, and go towards the same goal,” Nayeon said.

The TWICE vocalist added she was initially puzzled about her goals but ultimately decided to work towards them.

“Personally, I was also confused. I thought about what I wanted to do the most, and it was to match what I wanted to do as Twice and Nayeon. I am very satisfied now,” she said.

Nayeon is on a roll even before the contract renewal. In May 2022, she announced the release of her first solo EP “Im Nayeon”. The mini-album was the first album by a South Korean soloist to reach the top ten on the US Billboard 200.

TWICE is also on a roll since they renewed their contract with JYP Entertainment. Since July 2022, the group has released two mini-albums and the English single “Moonlight Sunrise”. They will release the Japanese single “Hare Hare” next month.

Nayeon shares the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s May issue with Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and Newjeans‘ Hyein. TWICE’s next Japanese single “Hare Hare” will drop on May 31, 2023.
