Director and producer reveal why EXO's D.O was cast on "Cart"

The reason why EXO’s D.O was chosen as one of the cast members on “Cart” has been revealed by director Boo at the movie’s press conference.

“Our casting PD recommended Do Kyungsoo for Taeyeong’s role. So with a lot of other idols, Kyungsoo auditioned and stood out, clinching Taeyeong’s role. Out of all the actors who came for the audition, Kyungsoo’s eye expressions were the best. We did not choose him because of his idol status,” Boo revealed.

Besides the director, producer Shin Jimyeong also had the same opinion. He had no idea that D.O can act so well.

“His fundamentals in acting were better than we expected,” he said.

“Cart” is the idol’s first movie, where he co-stars with senior actress Yeom Jungah. The movie will be on screens on November 13.
