Kiss Scenes Shouldn’t Be Painful — Except for EXO’s D.O.

D.O. from EXO revealed their kiss scene with actress Park Hye Soo in Swing Kids was actually dangerous!

The controversy began at a press conference for their 2018 movie. Fans wanted behind-the-scenes scoop on the kiss scene. What they got was shocking.

D.O. said his character had to kiss Park Hye Soo’s character while getting stepped on from behind. The pressure was so hard his teeth hurt.

“[Our kiss scene] was honestly a little dangerous.
It was a scene where I’m forced to kiss by getting stepped on from the back of my head. To recall a memorable situation, they stepped on me too hard so my teeth hurt.”
— D.O.

Park Hye Soo backed him up, confirming the kiss scene was more painful and risky than expected.

“As he mentioned, it was a little dangerous and hurtful.”
— Park Hye Soo

She added they had to shoot the scene several times because they either looked like they hated it or enjoyed it too much, instead of just uncomfortable.

“During the scene, we were supposed to portray a decent amount of uncomfort, but we looked either like we hated it or enjoyed it a little bit, so we had to film it multiple times.”
— Park Hye Soo

D.O. called Park Hye Soo like a little sister and praised her for creating a fun atmosphere on set.

“Park Hye Soo was such a good younger sister. I think we were able to film in a fun atmosphere thanks to her acting talent and open personality.”
— D.O.

Park Hye Soo also revealed they started awkwardly but quickly became good friends, sharing acting tips and concerns.

“I was first awkward with [D.O.]. He didn’t talk much and didn’t open up easily. But one day he started joking around with me, and I was surprised.
We were awkward when we first practiced, but thanks to that moment, I was able to talk with him about various concerns once we started filming.
I asked him questions about acting, and we were able to have a good synergy. It was fun acting with him.”
— Park Hye Soo

Swing Kids hit Korean theaters on December 19, 2018. It earned $10.9 million USD domestically.
