EXO's leader, Suho, is set to showcase his unique variety show charm as the 'proxy student' for the seventh season of OOTB's popular program, 'The Transgressor: The Man Who Commits Transgressions Daily' (hereinafter referred to as 'The Transgressor').

'The Transgressor', a franchise variety show by multi-platform content creator OOTB, premieres its seventh season today, the 25th. This content, which explores various university departments across the nation, previously garnered explosive attention with a teaser video hinting at Season 7, featuring member Kai attempting course registration.

Notably, in the premiere episode of Season 7, Suho will fill in for Kai, who is currently on a North American tour. Suho confidently stated, "I'm the only one among the EXO members who has experienced university life." He further piqued interest by reminiscing about his college days, boasting, "As a '09 freshman in the Acting department at Korea National University of Arts, my classmates include the nationally acclaimed actors Byun Yo-han, Park Jeong-min, and Lim Ji-yeon."

For this episode, Suho visits Inha Technical College's Department of Aviation Management, where students can experience the work of ground staff for an airline. On his way to the lecture hall, he interviews passersby to gather questions. Upon arrival, he takes part in a practical lesson on immigration procedures, experiencing firsthand the process of handling passenger check-ins, baggage claims, and other airport operations in a simulated environment.

Suho plans to ask professors practical questions that viewers might be curious about, such as upgrading from economy to business class, compensation for overbooking, and the fastest way to retrieve luggage. All eyes are on Suho's proxy experience, where his seasoned knowledge is expected to shine.

Meanwhile, Suho, who released his fourth mini-album 'Who Are You' on September 22nd, shared a memorable airplane anecdote. He revealed, "I once met football star Messi in an airport lounge." Suho vividly recounted the moment, saying, "I was so surprised I couldn't close my mouth, and even the EXO security guard behind me was astonished," causing laughter.

'The Transgressor' Season 7's first episode, featuring Suho's fresh and humorous proxy appearance, airs today, the 25th, at 6 PM KST on the OOTB STUDIO YouTube channel. Subsequent episodes will be released every Thursday at 6 PM KST.

Suho, as the leader and main vocalist of EXO, serves as a central figure in the group's performances and activities. He has successfully launched a solo career, demonstrating his versatility as an artist across various music genres. Beyond music, Suho actively engages in acting and musical theater, broadening his appeal to a diverse global audience.
