Come see which B.A.P. songs and MVS, then and now, I love the most!

Can we all just agree that D.O (real name: Do Kyung Soo) is the cinnamon roll of kpop? His boyish charm and gentle voice are as captivating as they are soothing – you wouldn’t even know that one of his first drama roles was as a serial killer. (True story – Hello Monster.)
