Chanyeol has disclosed the name of the EXO member with whom he has grown distant. And the reason behind this is not acrimonious fight but busy schedule.

He appeared on SBS "Power Time" on Tuesday, June 23, and said, as quoted by Korea Boo, "I used to like D.O., but we've grown apart. He is always busy with his schedules. As they say, 'out of sight, out of mind'." He appeared on the show with Chen and Sehun. Chanyeol also said he would like to go on a trip with Sehun because when they were younger, they used to play with him, and after practice, they used to take him out.

Meanwhile, D.O., whose real name is Do Kyung Soo, is receiving positive comments from netizens for his acting in the first two episodes of new Korean drama "I Remember You." One of the posters said that he is natural and will get better with practice. Korea Boo quoted another netizen as saying, "Do Kyungsoo has such good voice, dances well...and he even acts well he looks like such a nice guy." D.O., who is one of the main vocalists of EXO, made his television acting debut with "It's Okay, That's Love" (2014). 

Netizens, however, were not showering Lay with praises after his emotional outburst on Chinese variety program "Go Fighting!" He and other members of the program were given the task to collect the second-highest number of gold bars. They were expected to complete the task solo, but Lay, who is the youngest member on the show, teamed up with Sun Honglei to complete the mission. The latter, however, disappeared with Lay's case of gold bars. Lay became emotional after this act of betrayal and complained to other team members, saying that they need to have more trust in each other. Later, he told Honglei that he trusted him with the case and that he should have been aware about the duty and responsibility after taking it.

The "Go Fighting!" teammates helped Lay complete the task after his emotional outburst, but he failed to receive the netizens' support. They noted that Honglei betrayed him to make the show more interesting while Lay took it too seriously, according to Korea Boo. Lay responded to the criticism by saying that he will "slowly learn and grow" when it comes to his shortcomings. He also praised his senior team members and the variety program.
