An EXO member is gaining attention for his charming conversational tone on fan communication platform DearU Bubble.
On July 2 KST, screenshots of D.O's messages to fans were shared through Korean online communities, with one poster writing, "Do Kyungsoo [D.O's real name], who makes hearts flutter every time he comes [on the app]."
In the messages, he leaves comments showing a touching concern for fans' well-being, including messages like, "It's cold today, so eat some warm soup," "It's late today, so everyone, get some rest, and I'll contact you soon," "Eat a filling dinner and be healthy," "It's really gotten cold these days, Please really be careful to not catch a cold," and "The weather is really hot lately, so drink a lot of refreshing water and be mindful about using the air conditioner."
Each message also includes a large emoticon that matches the theme – a bowl of rice on days talking about food, the sun on a hot day, or a sleeping moon when messaging fans late at night. He then always closes the message with a polite ending message of "I'll talk to you soon."
Netizens who responded to the post noted the caring tone of his messages as well as the playful habit of making sure every message had a theme-appropriate 'send-off' emotion. Reactions included, "Ah, it's like he's not an idol but a country boy," "His style is a little like a grandson taking care of his grandmother," "There's no way to dislike Do Kyungsoo," "[His Bubble style] is so different from Jongin [Kai's real name] and Baekhyun. It's cute," "When I see that, it makes me want to pay for a subscription to his Bubble," and "Our sweet baby."
Meanwhile, D.O and the rest of EXO are gearing up for a comeback. The group's 7th full-length album 'EXIST' is set for release on July 10.
D.O deserves a lot more credit then he gets, I know to newer individuals he may seem cold but he's the sweetest!~
