EXO member D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) recently met with his fans in Bangkok, making it a night to remember.

On August 10 and 11, D.O. held his 'BLOOM in BANGKOK' fan concert at Thunder Dome Muang Thong Thani. This event is part of his 2024 Asia fan concert tour, which has been a huge success, with tickets selling out immediately in every location.

D.O. kicked off the show with his title track 'Mars' from his third mini-album and got the crowd excited by greeting them in their local language.

Throughout the concert, D.O. connected with fans in fun ways. He shared personal stories in a "10 TMI Questions and Answers" segment, talked about his experiences in Bangkok, and even shared behind-the-scenes moments from the tvN variety show 'Kong’s Kitchen.'

Fans were thrilled when he sang short parts of IU’s 'Love Wins All,' Justin Bieber’s 'Love Yourself,' and EXO’s '3.6.5' at their request.

D.O. owned the stage, showing off his strong energy, great stage presence, and perfect live vocals. His emotional delivery of each song and impressive ad-libs left fans in awe.

The fans played their part too, creating a special atmosphere with their loud cheers, coordinated singing, and LED card displays reading “I DO ♥ U” and “See You Again ♥.” They even organized slogan and video events that added to the concert’s memorable vibe.

As the show went on, the cheers grew louder. D.O. was so touched by the fans’ energy that he momentarily forgot the lyrics to his encore song ‘Popcorn,’ instead taking a moment to look lovingly at his fans.

After the concert, D.O. expressed his gratitude, saying, "It was really great to be back in Bangkok after so long, and what I missed the most was all of you. I will remember the cheers and energy you gave me today. I’ll work hard and make sure to come back soon.”

D.O. will continue his 'BLOOM' tour with upcoming performances in Malaysia on the 17th and in Manila on August 31 and September 1.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
