Do Kyungsoo opened a Kidzania at the first floor of Jamsil Lotte World Mall

 To celebrate his birthday (January 12), he holds a ZZirang-e & Charles (Characters which he personally participated in creating) pop-up store for a week long starting from yesterday, but...

Maybe it's because it was set up nicely in a place with a lot of attention...

I visited the ZZirang-e pop-up today and it's just like Kidzania here. I've never been to a pop-up store like this before. The kids are busy fishing🎣

I didn't expect the ZZirang-e pop-up to entertain not just the kids, but also their parents who came with them... It's truly a place of unityㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I think if the pop-up store was open to the general public, it would've been a huge success as well... I wonder if Kyungsoo knows about this?ㅋㅋㅋ

I passed by the pop-up store and there were tons of kids again todayㅋㅋ Couples are even making reservations on the spotㅋㅋㅋ Is this really a pop-up store for fans?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The kids were saying they want to have the ZZirang-e plushies... Please open a booth for the general public too.

The ZZirang-e pop-up store is so muggle-friendly that passersby were asking why the merchandise was a person when they saw the blurred photocards.

The activities zone is full of kids

'IVE, fighting<3'

'Mom and Dad, let's be happy in 2025 too'

There are cute messages like this in the section where people leave messages for Do Kyungsooㅋㅋ

+) The ZZirang-e & Charles character animations are well-made and high quality

+) Also, go check out the unique photo card that Do Kyungsoo took~

-I'm going crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everything in those pictures is so cute

-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so freaking funny

-Why does the peach in the first picture look so angry?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so cute how the kids are having fun there... That 'IVE fighting' message, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋ This is so adorable

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The messages that the kids wrote are so cute

-Is that sleepy-looking penguin named ZZirang-e!??? Ah, that's so cuteㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh goodness...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is right in front of where I live, so I see it every day on my way to and off from work. It looks like Pororo, so I thought the kids now have a new presidentㅋㅋㅋ

-Baby Dives are ruling the world.

-There were so many kids and they're all so good at the gamesㅜㅜㅜ I felt awkward and embarrassed playing the games among themㅠㅠ Not to mention that I'm worse than them when it comes to the gamesㅠㅠㅠ

-I was nearby earlier... I should've gone with my nephews. By the way, did he really intend to make this for kids?? It's because I've never seen a celebrity's pop-up store like this before.

-ㅋㅋㅋ The kids are so cute.

-This is really adorableㅋㅋ Even the animations seem like something kids would love.

-Ah... This indeed looks like something that kids would loveㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, I thought it was a children's animation when I saw this todayㅋㅋㅋㅋ There were so many kidsㅋㅋ

-Kids are going to love this! The characters are so cute... I want to visit, too.

Fan: This expressionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Changmin: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Fan: You're not hurt, right??? Sigh... Don't scratch my Lamborghini, Lift-ya...

Changmin: I'm not that kind of person!!!!ㅋㅋㅋ

Fan: Oppa, it's okay... It's okay. 

Changmin: If I knew this would happen, I should’ve made a more pitiful expresisonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

theqoo

-You can tell that he has done a lot of showsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But seriouslyㅋㅋㅋ His fans make fun of him a lotㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He got up so quickly and naturallyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I was like, 'How did UKnow Yunho even hold back his laughter?' and then Max Changmin's close-up shot came up and I literally burst out laughingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He was like, 'Phew~ What just happened?'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's funny how he looked so flustered thereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He looked a little bit startled, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-UKnow Yunho was trying not to laughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He recovered so naturallyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's a relief that he's not hurt.

-Whoa... He handled it so wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You can tell he’s done so many performances by how casually he brushed that off..ㅋ

-He handled it so naturallyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are his fans teasing him so much?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I know I shouldn't be laughing...ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ It's a relief that he's not hurt.

-He's a proㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Since he’s tall, he went up really high and came down from quite a height... Even when he trips, he gets up in a very cool way.

-Let's not do that jump anymore... Be carefulㅠㅜ

RIIZE Shotaro 

theqoo 

-Why is his stage name Shotaro? Is he Japanese?

-Who was her partner yesterday?

-You definitely can tell the emotions through Shotaro's dance. He's a really great dancer, his class is on another level.

-Look at the height differenceㅠㅠ It's so heart-flutteringㅠㅠ I didn't realize how tall he is when he's with the other RIIZE's members.

-I thought he looked small when he stood next to Sungchan... It turns out that Taro is a big otter, huh?

-Is this Shotaro’s first time performing Only One?

-He's definitely a great dancer.

-I thought Shotaro was short, but he's actually quite tall, huh?

-I'm glad they removed the dry ice from yesterday's performance... It was distractingㅋㅋㅋ

-I didn't know Shotaro was that tall and had such a great figure... He's really cool.

-His chemistry with BoA is really amazingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They look so good together.

-BoA and Shotaro are the best dancers I’ve ever seen among the other singers, and I can’t believe I got to watch them perform together now.

-As expected... He's experiencedㅋㅋㅋ

-I think Ten and Shotaro are the best dancers among the male SM idols

-As expected, Taro nailed this.

ChenBaekXi were missing from the SMTOWN Concert VCR

— 'KNOCK KNOCK!' (@knockknock_vid) January 11, 2025

Only Kai, Suho, Chanyeol, D.O., and Sehun appeared in the video. Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen were missing.

It doesn't seem to mean they're leaving the group, its just that they weren't in the SMTOWN concert VCR... I don't know the exact reason.

Even the artists who have left SM Ent. appeared in the video. As far as I know, ChenBaekXi are still under SM Ent. 

theqoo

-I think the reason is pretty obviousㅋㅋ

-Leaving them out of the VCR actually makes sense.

-That makes sense... If SM Ent. actually included them in the VCR, people would've started throwing bullshit anyway.

-I hope they'd just leave the company for good now.

-Why would SM Ent. include them in their VCR and risk another lawsuit?

-They should leave EXO as well at this point.

-It would've been more ridiculous if they were in the VCRㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-One of them was my bias and I think the reason is pretty obviousㅋㅋㅋ

-It must be because of the lawsuit.

-They want to leave the company... Of course, they should be excluded from the VCR.

-They're in the middle of a lawsuit with SM Ent. Why would SM Ent. include them in their VCR?

-I think excluding them from the VCR makes sense, given the fact that they're in the middle of a lawsuit now.

-Why are only Tony and Kangta there?

-I love H.O.T. so much!!!

-This is something that only SM Ent. could doㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜ

-Whoa... Tony is still the same.

-Jeno is so cute... He looks like a baby.

-Jaemin... He always stands out in every performance of 'Candy'

-Whoa... This somehow makes me feel weird... This is only possible because it's SM Ent.

-Truly powerful.

-This is bringing back so many memoriesㅠㅜ Both the original H.O.T. version and NCT's version of 'Candy' are so refreshing...

-It's amazing how Kangta and Tony's voices haven't changed.

-Why does this make me emotional?

-This grandma is crying...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Now I understand why Tony was so popularㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Their vocal cords haven’t aged at all. This makes me feel weirdㅠㅠ

-Dreamies, thank you so much for covering 'Candy.' Thanks to you all, I'm really happyㅠㅠ

-Thanks to them, the 1st Gen shined even brighter!!!

-The stars of the first albums I ever bought in my lifeㅠㅠ

-I want to see Kangta with them tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, I’m the only one who’s aged, huh?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Why are these Unnies and Oppa so cute...

-Wasn't Eugene a fan of H.O.T.?? Or maybe I remember it wrong...?

-I don't know much but... Why doesn't he promote with the group if he loves them so much and is still close with the members?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he a former member of EXO?

-Whoa... Seriously... This is so fascinating, I can only laugh...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He still hasn't left the group, has he? A member who does everything except promote with the group...ㄷㄷ

-What is this guy, really...?ㅋㅋㅋ He's so different from the other three (Chinese) members... He even seems to have so much affection for the group... He also still keeps in touch with the members... What's going on...? What is he doing at a concert that even CBX didn't go to?

-Why didn't he perform if he already came all the way there?ㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't figure him outㅋㅋㅋ

-Is he no longer part of EXO now?? Did he leave SM???

-Business NO, friendship YES

-He does everything except promote with the groupㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, he's loyalty is seriously amazing...

-That's me... Waving my lightstick to EXO's song...

-He loves EXO so much even though he's no longer in the group....ㅋㅋㅋ

-Why didn't he just stay in the group if he's going to do this?

-He has no issues with SM or EXO. He’s just a homebody who decided not to promote.
