"180 servings for two"... DOH KYUNG SOO, the cook who used his hands before his words." This transcript tells a heartwarming story about Korean actor Doh Kyungsoo (also known as D.O. from EXO) during his mandatory military service. It highlights his leadership and skill while working as a military cook.

English Translation: (y0univerrrse)

[0:00] I'm here to share an anecdote about how a junior soldier was shocked when an actor prepared meals for 180 people.

[0:05] This was back when I was serving in the same unit as my senior, Doh Kyung-soo. Honestly, everyone says that entering the kitchen is like going to war. But the moment my senior walked in, his expression was different.

[0:12] He said, "Hey, it's okay even if we're short-staffed. We can just divide our time."

[0:14] After saying that, he grabbed a knife and his hands literally didn't stop. That day was particularly tough because our numbers suddenly dropped, and the two of us had to prepare meals for 180 people.

[0:21] Inside, I thought, "We're finished," but my senior just smiled quietly and said, "I did about this much even when I was getting my [cooking] licenses."

[0:26] He told me, "Just don't slack off." He spoke casually, but his movements were a total professional's. From prepping ingredients and seasoning to organizing the serving flow-he handled it all. While I was just standing there dazed...

[0:35] He split our roles perfectly, saying, "From now on, you just watch the soup. When it boils, lower the heat; when things float to the top, skim them off."

[0:39] Surprisingly, the work started flowing smoothly. When the meal service ended and everyone was exhausted, he said one thing to me: "Did you see the faces of the kids eating today?"

[0:46] "That's enough then." In that moment, I realized, "Ah, this person doesn't just cook well-he has a different level of responsibility toward making sure people are well-fed."

[0:52] Please give a round of applause to Doh Kyung-soo, the person who created the warmest day from the most difficult position.

kyungsoo was asked on 1theK if there's someone who he thinks as his rival in the acting industry and he said he doesn't think of rivalry (or anything) because he believes that everyone is shining on their own. he just keeps up with his. this could apply not only in that certain aspect but in every aspect where people may think there are competitions. kyungsoo is kyungsoo doing his way. he doesn't feel inferior about the things he does even though it may look different from others. he is confident, and that kind of confidence shows his genuinity and sincerity. he also doesn't feel superior as he appreciates others' work, even calling his hoobae a 'pro' without hesitation. he doesn't look down on others and that's why he's being looked up to..

a man of substance, an epitome of humility.. more than a decade in the industry, doh kyungsoo has shown his remarkable growth in every area of the entertainment world. he first flourished as an idol, then an actor, then a solo singer, then a variety show entertainer -- and that makes him an all-rounder artist.

I'm not gonna talk in detail about how talented he is because we already know it, he has proven his worth all these years. his countless achievements are a proof of his hardwork and incredibly natural talent. but despite all the great things he has reached, he never once boasted. he is thankful. he always says he will work even harder. he shyly accepts compliments. he bows and softly speaks to the other person to stop the praises. sometimes he does his best to avoid compliments, whether about his skills as a singer, his talent as an actor, his diligence as an artist, his good manners as a man or even his handsome appearance. and if people try to push these compliments, kyungsoo will just humbly accept and show that he's grateful for the way they appreciate him.

though my idol, my bias and favorite person is so humble, I can't help but be proud. i want to boast about him. not only us fans and ordinary people are talking about how extraordinary he is but also those big and highly-regarded stars in the industry recognise him as a rare gem.

so let us treasure this rare precious gem in the person of 'doh kyungsoo'. his existence is a gift. i know we have been learning and receiving a lot from this 31-year-old man but expect it that there gonna be tons more of admirable things he will shower us in the coming days.

thank you, kyungsoo. 🩵
