5 reasons why EXO's Kai owns our hearts

By Kimberlie Conde

Anyone who has seen EXO's Kai live can attest that he stands out amongst the crowd. With such intense stage presence, we can't help but be captivated by him. He always has his way of shining and grabbing everyone's attention, and today we are giving you five reasons why EXO's Kai owns our hearts.

1. Dancing Machine

Kai has skills that are easily at the top of the K-Pop world. A lot of other prominent choreographers agree that his talent is one-of-a-kind. He is usually on everyone's list of the best dancers and has always been a role model for many junior idols in the industry.

He isn't the main dancer of "Nation's Pick" EXO for nothing. Kai dominates the stage with his powerful but graceful movement as seen in his viral fancams.

2. Undeniable stage presence

All of the members of EXO are quite powerful when they are performing, but what sets Kai apart are his facial expressions that leave you amazed. He radiates a different kind of aura that is so addicting that Korean media even dubbed him as a “center to dominate all centers.” His stages are always memorable. He is the moment.

Thank God for his two solo albums and his solo online concert, we were able to witness more of how much of a legendary performer he is. We can't help but wait to see what is next for his career.

3. Fashion King

Kai is regarded as one of the biggest style icons in K-pop. He is also known to be the idol that breaks fashion paradigms. He is so bold with his choices and yet he manages to pull off things no one else could. Remember the time when he made jaw drops when he appeared wearing a crop top?

No wonder he is the first Korean to become Gucci's global ambassador.

4. Good with kids

If you have been following Kai for some time now then you will know just how much he adores his nephew and niece. The unadulterated affection that Raeon and Rahee bring out in Kai is downright irresistible.

He has often talked about them during past interviews and radio show appearances. There was even one occasion when they had to stop filming because he couldn't stop laughing about the thought of his niece going to the gym with him. EXOLs are so lucky to witness the pure cuteness that is Kaichun, or uncle Kai.

5. True softie for his members

He might look fierce and sexy on stage however, fans know that behind the scenes, he's every bit as cute as a teddy bear! He is even lovingly called by the fandom as “Nini bear.”

This EXO member's duality is truly unbelievable. He is part of the maknae line after all so you just can't help but gush over his interactions with his hyungs. He loves the team as a whole, but he has so much adoration for each member individually.

He is always there to back them up and support them in every single way possible. He was even spotted attending Sehun's movie premiere together with Suho.

Even though Sehun is the only member who is younger than him, you can see how he is very loving to his dongsaeng.

It's hard to stand out in K-Pop with so many amazing soloists debuting left and right but Kai was built differently. Almost 10 years in the industry and yet he is trying to improve until now. Thanks to Kai's perseverance and hard work putting out content for his fans nonstop, he really stood above the rest and shone. Thank you for everything that you do, Jongin!

Aside from Kai, a number of K-pop idols also released solo albums in 2021. Find out who made their solo debuts and comebacks in this gallery:
