Global idol and multi-talented actor Do Kyungsoo, renowned as a member of the popular group EXO, recently experienced an amusing yet embarrassing incident during a fan signing event held near an elementary school.

The special episode of SBS's "Mathematics-Free Mathematics Journey," also known as "Math Journey," aired on May 11th, featuring Do Kyungsoo alongside artists Crush and Lee Yong Jin.

The trio organized the fan signing event at a playground adjacent to an elementary school, creating an exciting atmosphere for fans and students alike.

Despite the star-studded presence, the young students displayed a lukewarm response during the event. Sensing the tepid atmosphere, Do Kyungsoo politely raised a question, "As a celebrity, is it alright if we give autographs?"

Little did he know that this innocent interaction would lead to an unexpected moment of embarrassment.

In the midst of receiving an autograph, one nervous student asked Do Kyungsoo, "What's your name?" The question caught the idol off guard, momentarily taking him by surprise.

With a touch of bittersweetness, Do Kyungsoo replied, "If you mention EXO to your mother, she'll know who I am," struggling to conceal his mixed emotions.

However, the situation quickly took a turn as the student's mother arrived to pick up her child, immediately recognizing the popular idol and exclaiming with joy, "Oh, it's Do Kyungsoo!" This instant recognition restored Do Kyungsoo's honor and diffused the tension.

The broadcast of this sitcom-like scene swiftly captivated the attention of netizens across various social media platforms.

In response to the incident, online users shared their diverse and lively reactions. Some netizens noted, "We live in an era where even parents of EXO fans are aware of the group's members," emphasizing the widespread popularity and impact of EXO.

Others playfully commented, "Even our own moms might not recognize Do Kyungsoo by name, but mention EXO, and they instantly know him," shedding light on the fascinating dynamics of fandom recognition.

Certain individuals couldn't help but make humorous observations, remarking, "The elementary school students might be younger than EXO's iconic song 'Growl'," underscoring the enduring popularity and timeless appeal of the group's music.

Additionally, netizens appreciated the genuine and authentic moment when the student's mother casually addressed Do Kyungsoo by his real name, solidifying the deep connection between fans and their beloved idols.

For those eager to witness the eventful guerrilla fan signing, the episode featuring Do Kyungsoo's Math Journey can be enjoyed on SBS's official platform.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
