EXO‘s D.O. (also known as Kyungsoo) is well known for having amazing vocals and charismatic performances, but he’s also famous for his incredible talent as an actor. As someone who hasn’t been afraid to try a plethora of roles and does all he needs to get into character, including executing his own stunts and shaving his head for a role, it’s clear why D.O.’s loved as an idol and an actor. Having just wrapped up filming for three acting projects, with all three roles being as diverse as can be, we’re here to recount the 11 characters he’s played since his acting debut in 2014.
1. Cart
D.O. debuted as an actor in the movie Cart as Choi Tae Young, perfectly portraying the emotions of a poor high school boy with a strained relationship with his mother.
2. It’s Okay, That’s Love
Kyungsoo’s role as Han Kang Woo in It’s Okay, That’s Love broke everyone’s heart, and the drama is so well-loved that one of its most famous scenes has garnered 4.5 million views on TikTok eight years later. Also filmed in 2014, it’s hard to believe that he’s a rookie actor when every detail of his character’s actions is so well-executed.
3. Hello Monster
After two high school student roles, D.O. switched things up by taking on the role of a psychopath in the drama Hello Monster. Even though it’s just acting, D.O.’s character sends chills down our backs.

Kyungsoo’s role as Beom-Sil in Pure Love is why it’s impossible for anyone who’s watched the movie to lower their standards for their significant other.

D.O. stars as Go Doo Young, a blind judo athlete who in the movie reconnects with his estranged older brother, and with his incredible chemistry with his co-star Jo Jung Suk, the two can make everyone laugh and cry over their brotherhood.
7. Room No.7
As Lee Tae Jung, Kyungsoo’s bad boy charm captivates the audience, making this comedy thriller film a must-watch.
8. Along With The Gods
Despite only having a supporting role, D.O.’s impeccable acting as Private Won Dong Yeon landed him three awards, a testament to his ability to move the audience even with less screen time.
9. Swing Kids
D.O. plays a North Korean soldier who fell in love with tap dancing in the musical drama film Swing Kids, and this short clip proves that it only takes a few seconds for D.O. to connect with the audience.
10. 100 Days My Prince
100 Days My Prince is the 12th highest-rated K-Drama in cable TV history, thanks to Kyungsoo’s charisma as the crown prince that will have you rewatching the drama over and over again.
