EXO's DO sets date for first solo concert tour stop in Malaysia this August
This marks DO's first full-scale solo concert in Malaysia, following the overwhelming response to his 2024 fan concert, which sold out and left fans hoping for more. The new tour is positioned as a key step in the artist's solo journey, promising a deeper musical experience that reflects his growth and individuality beyond group activities.
Known for his rich vocals and understated charisma, DO is expected to deliver a carefully curated setlist and performance style that leans into his emotional depth and storytelling. Organisers have made it clear that this is a concert focused squarely on the music — there will be no soundcheck or send-off events, in contrast to typical fan engagements.

#SHOWBIZ: Huang Zitao, Xu Yiyang invite 100 fans to October wedding reception
HONG KONG: Chinese singers Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang are set to hold their wedding reception in October. The news was announced by Zitao, 32, during a recent episode of the variety show Our Love Song. Zitao began his career in 2012 as a member of the K-pop group Exo, while Yiyang was a former trainee at the same agency, SM Entertainment. According to media reports, preparations for the wedding have been underway for six months, with seats for 100 fans specially reserved at the venue. The announcement has led to speculation among netizens about whether the members of Exo and fellow ex-member Luhan will be attending the ceremony. Zitao left the group in 2015 to return to China, where he established his own agency, Studio. Yiyang, who will turn 28 in September, was part of SM Rookies but did not debut with the group. She joined Zitao's company, Entertainment, in 2018 and made her solo debut in 2020. Although dating rumours had been circulating for years, the couple only confirmed their relationship in July 2024 and officially registered their marriage in December of the same year.
