Not a K-Pop idol: Vico Sotto quips he is not a member of Korean boy group EXO
Pasig City mayor Vico Sotto wants to make it clear: He is not a member of the Korean pop boy group EXO.
On Friday, January 1, Sotto responded to a tweet thanking “all EXO members.”
This, in turn, is a reply to Sotto’s tweet update about firecrackers confiscated and injuries sustained during the New Year’s celebration in Pasig City.
“Hindi po ako member ng EXO,” he said.
THANK YOU ALL EXO MEMBERS#EXO @weareoneEXO #AlwaysWithEXO

Hindi po ako member ng exo
— Vico Sotto (@VicoSotto) January 1, 2021
Sotto’s reply has over 18,000 retweets and 30,000 likes as of this writing.
The EXO tweet wasn’t an accident.
K-Pop fans have always noted Sotto’s resemblance to EXO member Doh Kyung-soo, better known as D.O., as many of the replies to the mayor’s tweet noted.
“Ay talaga po ba mayor?” one Twitter user jokingly asked.
Ay talaga po ba mayor ? ?

“I stan an actor/singer/dancer/mayor,” quipped another.
