Lee Hong-ki, the lead singer of the popular Korean band FTISLAND, shared a photo with popular boy band EXO member D.O. (Du Kyung-so) through his official IG account. In addition to thanking D.O. for supporting his work, HongJi also did not forget to "report" D.O. to fans about the latest situation.
After retiring from the army in mid-April, Hong's first variety show was "Golden Fishing Ground Radio Star", which aired on May 5. In the episode, when the host shows a photo of him and D.O. in military uniforms and asks about the opportunity for the two to meet, Hong Ji says that he has become good friends with EXO members D.O. (Du Kyung-so) and XIUMIN (Kim Min-seok) because of his appearance in army musicals.
Hongji said that at that time, his military uniform photo with D.O. was widely circulated, and because D.O. did not use SNS, many D.O. fans went to Hongji's SNS, left messages to ask Hongji about D.O.'s recent situation, or asked Hongji to take care of him and so on. In the show, HongJi, who is jokingly called "D.O. Spokesperson", also looks at the camera, pretends to be shouting to D.O.'s fans, and laughs: "Recently, Jingxiu is preparing his work, and he is doing well!" ”
This evening, Hong shared two photos of him with D.O. and wrote: "Thank you very much for coming to see my performance today!" See you tomorrow!! Hong Ji also did not forget his "spokesperson" identity, and added a note at the end of the article: "Jingxiu said that he was filming recently, and the preparation of the album has come to an end!" Fans left in the message area: "Thank you Hongji for sharing the photo with us", "Thank you for helping us update the latest situation of Jingxiu" and so on.
In addition, SM Entertainment, a subsidiary of EXO, announced yesterday (25th) that D.O. (Du Jingxiu) will release his first Solo album since his debut in 2012 at the end of July.
