Wonju DB Promy (2013–2021)
Doo was drafted third overall in the 2013 KBL rookie draft by Wonju Dongbu Promy. The first two picks were his Kyung Hee teammates Kim Jong-kyu and Kim Min-goo,marking a rare occasion in which the first three picks of a draft came from the same university and not from a traditional "big 3" college basketball program (Yonsei,Korea and Chung-Ang).

The 2017-18 season was Doo's breakthrough season as he averaged 16.45 points and 3.8 assists. [7] DB topped the league table and reached the play-off finals but lost to Seoul SK Knights. Doo won the KBL Most Valuable Player Award and was voted into the Best 5. [8] [2] Despite his stellar performances during the season,he was controversially cut from the final squads for both the William Jones Cup and 2018 Asian Games. [9]
Doo enlisted for mandatory military service in May 2018 and was assigned to the Sangmu team [ ko ] after completing basic training. [7] He was discharged in January 2020. In the two games immediately after his return,he made an immediate impact and scored 93.5 points. [10] He formed a partnership with shooting guard Heo Ung and his college teammate Kim Jong-kyu,who had joined DB that season. [11] [12] However,the season ended prematurely and play-offs were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic;the results for the 2019–20 season were forfeited,although DB finished at the top of the league table.
The 2020–21 season was forgettable as injuries ravaged key players. DB ended the season at 9th place,second last in the league table. In the January game against Goyang Orions,Doo scored a buzzer beater with 1 second left on the clock to win the game 92–90;it was voted Play of the Season at the annual KBL awards ceremony.
