On September 16, 2025, Do released his self-penned digital single "Dumb" featuring rapper Penomeco which also topped multiple charts on iTunes and hit #1 on the iTunes K-pop chart in the US.! Although Doh Kyung-soo did not renew his contract with Company SooSoo in December, the company still supported his 'DO it!' concert tour dates on December 6 and 7, 2025 in Seoul! On November 5, DO signed a new contract with Blitzway Entertainment for his acting endeavours and solo and group musical activities!
D.O. is also a very talented and critically acclaimed actor, and has starred in various television dramas and movies, including 'Pure Love' (2016), 'My Annoying Brother' (2016), 'Be Positive' (2016), 'Room No.7' (2017), '100 Days My Prince' (2018), 'Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds, Swing Kids' (2018), 'Bad Prosecutor' (2022), 'The Moon' (2023) and 'The Manipulated' (2025).

DO. has had meaningful involvement in ambassador-style roles. In 2017, he served as a Korean public relations ambassador for the Macau International Film Festival alongside director Choi Dong-hoon. He has participated in various Korean government campaigns, such as the "I Am Proud" campaign during his military service (2019–2021). He was also selected in the South Korea's Ministry of Justice awareness campaign against "Digital Sexual Exploitation" and The Taegeukgi Campaign in 2020 for the 70th anniversary of the Korean War.
Do Kyungsoo is known and respected for his kind-hearted nature and positive influence, often inspiring meaningful charity work. While D.O. himself tends to keep his personal philanthropic efforts low-key (typical of his humble personality), his influence has led to consistent and substantial donations, particularly in support of children with serious illnesses. His dedicated fanbase "D.O.경수다움" (D.O. Kyungsoodaum) has been especially active, channeling birthday celebrations and his "positive energy" into regular donations. They focus heavily on the Korean Pediatric Cancer Foundation (한국소아암재단), supporting children with pediatric cancer, leukemia, and rare/incurable diseases. For his birthday this year, they donated 12 million KRW (9,000 USD) to the foundation for treatment costs. The fan club has donated over 124 million KRW (~$90,000+ USD) to the same cause, including monthly regular contributions. These fan efforts reflect D.O.'s own values. He's often described as someone who quietly cares for those around him including staff & group members, and promotes warmth and positivity. EXO as a group has a strong reputation for benevolence, with each member donating collectively to various causes. D.O.'s "charity endeavors" shine brightest through the ripple effect he creates. His fans consistently turn admiration into real-world help for vulnerable children, making a tangible difference year after year.
D.O. is thriving as a respected triple-threat artist, loved for his humble personality, exceptional vocals, acclaimed acting, and positive influence, including massive fan-led charity. He's gearing up for more music, acting, and EXO activities in 2026.
Happy birthday All Rounder King Doh Kyungsoo
