SMTOWN has released a video for what seems like a new single from EXO to promote SMTOWN’s game (which is still not released to international fans) Superstar SM. The link to the video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8P8Pzkbd3g&list=UUEf_Bc-KVd7onSeifS3py9g . It shows EXO member Chanyeol playing Superstar SM with a holiday tune (and what sounds like D.O singing) playing in the background. Hopefully, fans will have a positive reaction rather than negative over this since the game is unattainable in most countries (unless you download it online).
The father of popular boy-band exo’s leader, Suho, has faced allegations of being pro-japanese. http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2997311
In the article, it talks about how Suho’s father was accused of belonging to an anti-korean agency, which could really hurts his son’s career. There has been news about exo having a comeback early next year. If they do have a comeback soon this will most likely negatively affect the sales of their album because people in Korea may consider them an anti-korea group and may boycott the group. It’s better to file a suit now so that these rumors stop spreading because this would be really bad for exo’s career.
EXO’s D.O.’s new movie “Cart” is set for release in South Korea soon and mark’s the idols first appearance in a major role on the big screen.
D.O. spoke about how his acting debut in ‘Cart’ progressed,
“I was nervous because they’re veteran sunbaenims (respected seniors), but they all cheered me on so I learned a lot while filming… Yeom Jung Ah sunbaenim, especially, treated me comfortably like my real mother so I was able to loosen up.”
Co-star Jiwoo in an earlier interview with Newsen, spoke about what it was like acting with EXO’s D.O. especially as his love interest! She said, “When I first saw D.O-oppa, it was really strange. I thought, ‘EXO is here!’”, and “My friends are EXO fans too”.
Jiwoo also praised D.O.’s acting, continuing, “[D.O] Oppa has a good personality and he’s good at acting too. Because he’s good at singing, he’s got a good tone and his enunciation is good, too. I think he has a lot of ambition when it comes to acting. It’s his first time acting, so he shouldn’t have much technique, but he’s good. Whilst monitoring himself, he gets a bit disappointed (t/n: 아쉬워한다; he feels like he could do better) and embarrassed, so when I saw that, I thought, “He could really become an actor“.
‘Cart’ will be showcased at the ‘Toronto International Film Festival‘ (‘TIFF‘), Busan International Film Festival (‘BIFF‘), and Hawaii International Film Festival(‘HIFF‘).
‘Cart’ will premiere in Korea this November.
‘Cart’ tells the story of the struggles of a single mum after she was laid off in a megastore as a contract worker. “Cart centres on the employees of a large discount retail store and their collective efforts to combat the company’s exploitive practices.” [TIFF] D.O plays the mother’s (Yeom Jungah) son.

Today EXO will be performing for the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. Also, The Lost Planet will be held today in Bangkok, Thailand. There are various fantaken pictures of them performing the opening ceremony. By what I can see they are performing the choreography for Wolf.
