Singer and actor Doh Kyung Soo (stage name DIO)'s heartfelt loyalty made Kim Woo Bin and Shin Mina's wedding even more special.
On the afternoon of the 20th, Doh Kyung Soo attended the 2025 Melon Music Awards (MMA2025) held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul, as a member of EXO and lit up the stage. After appearing on the red carpet with his members, he headed straight to another location as soon as the official schedule ended. It was the wedding of his close friends, actors Kim Woo Bin and Shin Mina.
Doh Kyung Soo rushed to the Shilla Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Although he only showed his face and had to get back into a car after five minutes, his decision to visit the wedding venue despite the roughly two-hour round trip surprised many. Moreover, because it was immediately after an important schedule on a major EXO awards ceremony stage, his choice shone even more.
Earlier, in a post-finale interview for the Disney+ series "The Manipulated," Doh Kyung Soo voiced his conflicted feelings about Kim Woo Bin's wedding overlapping with EXO's MMA schedule, saying, "It breaks my heart." He said, "Of course it's work, and I think EXO comes first. The wedding is very important too, but I should do better, for Woo Bin hyung," expressing his regret. He added, "Woo Bin hyung understands because he knows it couldn't be helped."
When asked, "How will you compensate?" he laughed and said, "I'm worried about that too. What should I do?" When offered to record a video message, he said, "If I appear, I might ruin the wedding atmosphere," showing caution.
He especially expressed regret that he had originally promised to sing a congratulatory song at Kim Woo Bin's wedding. "I knew about their marriage news first, and then the MMA schedule was set. I was worried about how to say it, and when I told him, he was very disappointed. I also wanted to sing 'Popcorn' in my heart, so both of us were disappointed," he honestly confessed. He then joked, "Now I'm someone outside his sight. It's like, 'We don't need you!'" which drew laughter.
Although he could not sing the congratulatory song, Doh Kyung Soo ultimately rushed to the wedding venue immediately after finishing the awards ceremony schedule and conveyed his sincerity in a short time. He made a two-hour round trip for just five minutes. Considering his busy schedule ahead of a large concert-level stage, his action was 'top-tier loyalty' itself.
Fans and netizens who saw this reacted warmly, saying, "So that's why Kim Woo Bin calls him 'my love Doh Kyung Soo'," "Going to see his face even in that situation is real loyalty," "Rushing over for even five minutes despite being busy is more touching," and "That's why everyone can't help but dote on such a close younger colleague."
Doh Kyung Soo did not neglect his responsibilities as an EXO member nor his feelings for his close friend. Though it was only a few minutes, that time was enough to prove the two men's friendship.
