One of the most unforgettable gestures that an EXO member did to another EXO member is when Sehun surprised D.O. by appearing on the stage greetings of "Pure Love" cast and giving him a bouquet.

D.O. Was Present at Chen, Suho, and Baekhyun's Respective Events
Finally, D.O. himself returned the support his bandmates gave him. He was there at Chen's musical "In the Heights" in late 2015, as well as at Suho's musical "The Last Kiss" in 2017-2018.
