Big news for D.O. fans: Doh Kyung‑soo is showing a whole new side of his acting game. In the revenge thriller The Manipulated, which premiered on Disney+ on November 5, he takes on his first-ever villain role — a fresh and exciting turn for an artist we’ve mostly seen as the reliable, empathetic lead.
The show’s promo and early reactions highlight this darker character work, marking a clear departure from many of the roles D.O. has played before. It’s always thrilling to watch an idol-actor step outside their usual lane, and this one looks like it’ll give him plenty to chew on as a performer.
Quick context every fan will want to know:
- Doh Kyung‑soo is better known to many as D.O., the main vocalist of K‑Pop powerhouse EXO.
- He’s also an established actor with notable past projects including the historical drama 100 Days My Prince and films like My Annoying Brother and Swing Kids.
- The Manipulated premiered on Disney+ on November 5.
- This is D.O.’s first time playing a villain, which is why this role feels especially noteworthy.
Whether you stan his singing, his softer on‑screen characters, or both, this is one moment to tune in and see D.O. stretch his range. I’ll be watching for how he balances the intensity of a villain with the nuanced acting we know he’s capable of.
