SEVENTEEN's DK has a popular character doll named 'Doa' from the MINITEEN lineup, which is currently generating significant buzz among fans. This character is beloved for embodying DK's cheerful and dog-like image, becoming a cherished item for CARATs (SEVENTEEN fans) who actively engage with it by bringing it to concerts and using it for 'doll outings' (인형출사).
Doa is specifically described as having a round face, blush on the cheeks, and a bright expression, directly reflecting DK's positive energy and his affectionate 'Dokyeom-dung-i' persona. As part of the MINITEEN collection, bloggers document various activities with Doa, including unboxing merchandise, attending concerts and fan meetings, and going on cafe tours, often capturing photos of the doll in diverse settings. Fans are frequently observed attaching these MINITEEN dolls to their belongings at concerts, showcasing their integration into fan culture.
Local bloggers consistently share that Doa serves as a 'healing visual,' bringing them joy and happiness simply by being present. The character's design effectively captures DK's dual charm—his powerful main vocalist presence on stage combined with his kind and cheerful personality off-stage. The ease and enjoyment of taking 'doll outing' photos with Doa are frequently highlighted by fans, fostering a sense of shared experience and connection within the CARAT community.
