EXO D.O.'s Debut Age and 14-Year Career Journey

EXO member D.O., also known by his birth name Do Kyung-soo, is currently generating buzz for his dual career as both a K-pop idol and a respected actor. His recent activities, including the release of his 4th mini-album 'DOPAMINE' and an upcoming world tour, highlight his enduring presence and versatility in the entertainment industry. This renewed focus on his musical endeavors comes after a period of significant acting success.

Do Kyung-soo, born on January 12, 1993, debuted with EXO in 2012 with their mini-album 'MAMA'. As of 2026, he is 33 years old, marking 14 years since his group debut. He began his acting career in 2014 with the SBS drama 'It's Okay, That's Love' and has since built a strong filmography, including roles in "Cart," "Along With the Gods" series, and "100 Days My Prince." He uses "D.O." for group activities and "Do Kyung-soo" for acting and solo music.

Local bloggers note that despite being the same person, the atmosphere Do Kyung-soo conveys in his acting and singing is distinct. His recent album 'DOPAMINE' showcases a new direction with rhythmic vocals, moving beyond his familiar ballad style while maintaining his clear vocal strengths. Bloggers appreciate his ability to balance both careers, evolving from a "boyish" voice to a more mature and refined sound that reflects his current age.
