The Korean idol group EXO member D.O recently starred on "Actor & Chatter." During the episode, he shared a traumatic experience that has led the singer into developing a camera anxiety disorder.
"Since I started my career as an idol singer, I've always had camera anxiety. It was due to a mistake I made during my debut. I am still traumatized by it so every time I'm in front of the camera, I become anxious."
The idol singer explained that it started when the group debuted with "MAMA." D.O was assigned to introduce the song to the public, but because he was nervous, he made a mistake and said a different word. "Our debut song was MAMA and I was in charge of making the introduction, so I really came prepared, but as soon as the camera started rolling, all I could remember was just magnificent. It was supposed to be a long introduction, something like it's an amazing dance track backed with a magnificent orchestra. However, I ended up only saying it's a super orchestra. I literally went speechless after that."
D.O also shared that after that incident, he also got scared of performing. He would sweat a lot during the group's performances because he was too nervous. "Although people around me have tried to help me, I still get nervous a lot. I always apologize to my friends and to everyone every after a performance."
"One time, I did really great during the rehearsal so I thought I'd be okay, but as soon as it got live, I got really nervous that I screwed up from the beginning. The whole performance was a mess" he continued.
After the episode aired, netizens quickly looked for the video. Fans commented on how cute D.O was holding tightly on to the mic as he speaks nervously. Thankfully, the group was there and had his back. They just laughed at this minor mistake.
Despite all these, D.O has always performed wonderfully!
