EXO's D.O Says "Cart" Co-Star Yeom Jeong Jesung Ah Helped Him in Movie Debut

EXO member D.O (Do Kyung Soo) has sent his gratitude to his co-star Yeom Jeong Ah who has helped him in his silver screen debut with the film “Cart.”

On the production presentation of the film “Cart” held at CGV in Apgujeong, Seoul today, September 30, D.O was able to give thanks to his co-actor in the film.

“Because this is the first film that I’ve tried acting in, I was very nervous but Yeom Jeong Ah sunbae was always by my side, taking care of me like a mother and comfortably looking over me. Because of her, my nervousness disappeared and I was comfortable in acting,” said D.O.

“I mostly acted alongside Yeom Jeong Ah sunbae so there wasn’t much chance to meet the other actors. I heard that when actors meet, there’s a public bath-like atmosphere. I also want to feel that public bath-like atmosphere,” D.O continued.

In “Cart,” D.O plays the role of Tae Young, the teenage son of Seon Hee (Yeom Jeong Ah) who does part time work.

“Cart” tells the story of a single mom Seon Hee who is wrongfully fired from her job at as a contract employee of a mega store. The movie stars Yeom Jeong Ah, Moon Jung Hee, Kim Young Ae, Kim Kang Woo, Hwang Jung Min, Chun Woo Hee, Ji Woo, and Do Kyung Soo.

The film is set to premiere on November!

EXO fans outraged at new drama "Modern Farmer" starring Lee Hingki naming fakeband as "EXO"

Korean netizens are in an outrage after a new SBS drama titled, “Modern Farmer”, was revealed to be using the name “EXO” for their fake-band in the drama.

A EXO-L fan left a message reading,

"After Jang Bori ended, Modern Farmer will take over the slot, everyone knows, right? It’s a drama about a band, and their name is EXO, which stands for Excellent Soul. Even though it’s just a drama, how could they use a name that’s already being used? The scriptwriter obviously forced the name. If you search the name EXO, the faux-band member will appear instead. The main lead is also a senior singer so I’m worried there will be war amongst fandoms in the future. For us EXO-L, EXO is a precious team name, but it will cause confusion for people who watch the drama."

Modern Farmer is a drama about a rock band, starring FT Island’s Lee Hongki, Park Minwoo, Lee Siun, and Kwak Dongyeon. The story follows the rock band as it follows their dreams, love life and friendships.

Fans immediately took to the cause, tweeting their concerns as well as commenting on the trailer videos. SBS and “Modern Farmer” writers have yet to respond to the criticisms.
