Amid ongoing discussions surrounding Kim Soo Hyun’s alleged past relationship with a younger Kim Sae Ron, EXO’s D.O.’s past actions regarding a younger co-star have gained attention. D.O.’s decision to avoid a real kiss scene with Kim So Hyun, who was underage at the time, has been praised.
D.O.’s Film “Pure Love” and the Kiss Scene
In 2016, D.O. starred in the romantic film “Pure Love” alongside Kim So Hyun. The film tells the story of a radio DJ who reflects on his first love after receiving a letter. Kim So Hyun played Soo Ok, the DJ’s love interest.
One of the film’s memorable scenes featured D.O. and Kim So Hyun under an umbrella in the rain. Instead of a direct kiss, D.O. kissed the umbrella, creating an unexpected moment.
Age Gap and D.O.’s Decision
At the time of filming, Kim So Hyun had recently turned 17, while D.O. was 23, creating a seven-year age gap. Kim So Hyun revealed in an interview that there was debate about the kiss scene.
She stated that many male staff members wanted a “real” kiss scene, while female staff preferred the umbrella kiss. Ultimately, D.O. made the final decision.
Kim So Hyun explained,
“Ultimately, the decision to umbrella kissing was to go thanks to Kyungsoo oppa entirely. He told the film company’s CEO that I was too young and that I wouldn’t be able to do actual kiss scene.”
D.O. felt that Kim So Hyun was too young for a real kiss scene and conveyed this to the film company’s CEO.
Positive Reactions
With the current discussions surrounding older male actors and younger actresses, D.O.’s decision has been received positively. His choice to prioritize Kim So Hyun’s age and comfort has been highlighted as an example of respectful behavior.
