KAI

Kai..

Kai from EXO  ====>

Birth Name : Kim Jong In (김종인)
Stage Name : Kai
DOB : January 14, 1994
Position : Main Dancer, Vocalist, Lead Rapper, Face of The Group
Height : 182 cm
Blood Type : A
Nationality : Korean
Specialties : Dance (ballet, jazz, hip hop, popping, rocking)

(I think part of the reasoning for his stage name Kai, is that his actual Korean name, Kim Jong-In (김종인) is shared with a number of Korean poiltians; whether it be pronunciation or Hangul characters.

So in all honesty, when I first saw pictures...I was like meh. Like look at the picture above...theres something weird with his face yeah? Like it's not drop dead gorgeous at first sight...so being the typical shallow kpop fan that I am, interest lost. =D (Goes back to stalking Taemin)

But then, thanks to swotvac, I decided to look up some videos of Kai....watch the first like...10 seconds...

AND OMG. When he smiles...his whole face structure changes and he becomes...freaking attractive. xD He actually looks kind of Spanish or Latin American, or even Native American with his talk dark and handsome sort of Aura. I reckon he and Taemin are kind of opposite in this aspect; as Taemin looks really hot when he's all serious, whereas Kai looks amazing when he has a bit of a smirk on his face:

fking bleached teeth of dazzlingness

Taemin comparison:

Tae serious...phwooaaaa. 

and then Taemin dork

And the there's Kai~

Half smile...zomg

ahhhh!

He and Taemin look quite similar on stage; the both have the sort of tall lanky dancer walk and kind of derpy but powerful persona behind their figure. What I find really attractive about both Taemin and Kai is that they are he main dancers of their respective groups SHINee and EXO-K respectively. However, I actually do reckon that Kai is slightly better than Taemin in terms of technique and execution because he's had more training (like ballet and jazz since yr3 or something?).

Although unfortunately, it seems like Kai has Jonghyun's fortune in terms of injury, as Kai got injured twice? Or something. One was at an airport, and the other was at Beijing. I think the airport one was more serious, as Kai was pushed off some railing and hurt his waist:

Kai's waist injury :( With support tape or heat packs or something

And in the video link earlier, you can see him wincing around 2:26...so I think this is a long term injury for Kai.

At approx 0:17, Kai wincing again; probably due to his waist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NPZaYfGOIs

 It's kind of sad in the world of K-pop. Your fans can create all your fame, but they can also bring downfall and injury to your dreams with their fandom. Like same with Jonghyun; he had to have ankle ligament surgery because his fans were too rowdy and pushed him over.

All the best to Kai for his recovery...he is an amazing dancer, it would be a real shame if he couldn't fully do what he loves.

Finishing this big procrastination/waste of time when I should be studying post with some TaeKai <3

Cute :D 

Er...kay. 

Similar no?

<33 stuuudy time~

Oh and EXO is back with their new track WOLF. Go check it out! It's more of an artistic piece, rather than muscially appealing I reckon? Pushing the boundaries of Kpop again. What's with all the new style of Kpop now adays? I think SNSD started it with I Got a Boy, but then following there is Ice Cream by HyunA, Why so Serious by SHINee, What's Your Name by 4minute, Countryside Life by T-ara N4, CL with her The Baddest Female...

Not complaining, it's not like a lot of the mainstream K-pop melodies were original. Interesting shift that's all. :)
