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.

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.

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.
