'EXO' is a rookie group that has surpassed one year since their
debut. A characteristic that they have about them is that they have
Korean and Chinese twin groups. Split into two teams, their center for
performance was different. Unlike 'EXOK' that promotes in Korea, 'EXOM'
concentrated on China. The first time they did activities within Korea
was in June with 'Wolf and Beauty.' There is no way but for them to be
unfamiliar with Korea yet.
However, it is different in China. They are already on the level of
super stars. Last year, at the same time as their debut, at the 13th
Annual Chinese Music Awards, for the first time for rookies, they won
two awards, Most Popular award and Best Dressed award. They have secured
their spot as the trend by winning the Most Popular award again for the
second time.
'EXOM' that is in the core of the Hallyu trend. Starting from
their performance concept, it is completely different from 'EXOK.' If
'EXOK' is like a group of teen boys, 'EXOM' overflows with masculinity.
They have the atmosphere of being a bit more powerful and fierce. They
are appealing their rough charms as a manly man.
'EXO Life of Research' part 2. It is 'EXOM' that 'EXO' sees. The
twelve members created a rolling paper for the 'EXOM' members, Kris,
Luhan, Xiumin, Chen, Tao, and Lay. Besides themselves, they left a personal criticism for the other eleven members. Let’s view according to 4W 11R(Who, Where, When, What, 11Rolling Paper).
1. Kris
▶ Who : Kris. Chinese name Wu Yi Fan. Because of his god image, he is also called ‘Kris-nim’ as a nickname.
▶ Where :
November 16, 1990. He’s Chinese Canadian. He was born in Guangzhou in
Guangdong Province and spent his childhood in Canada.
▶ When : He passed the SM Global audition in 2007 in Canada. He went through 4 years of trainee life.
▶ What :
‘EXO-M’ leader and rapper. With his reliable personality, he is known
to be taciturn in the group. He also has global language skills. He is
proficient in Mandarain, Cantonese, English, Korean, etc.
▶ 11R
Suho about Kris : He is really an unequaled friend. He is simple and honest and is faithful. He is also a fashionista.
Kai → Kris : If he was an animal he’d be a Siberian husky. He looks cool and solitary but to us, he is a lax and cute hyung.
Xiumin → Kris : A person who has the appearance of a reassuring person
Lay → Kris : Cool, cold, passionate, and tall member.
Chanyeol → Kris : Manly and cool.
Baekhyun → Kris : Has a lot of interest in fashion. He’s reliable like a father.
D.O → Kris : He’s cool because he’s tall.
Tao → Kris : My precious hyung.
Chen → Kris : A sharp dresser with fashion sense that is uncommon.
Luhan → Kris : Fashion king.
Sehun → Kris : Always gives to me prettily.
▶
Rolling paper ‘Kris’ keyword : was ‘real man’. Suho, Lay, Xiumin,
Chanyeol, etc. praised his masculine beauty. This is confirmed through
Suho’s ‘simple honesty’, Lay’s ‘cold’, Xiumin’s ‘reliable’, Chanyeol’s
‘manly’.
Opinions that he is a ‘fashionista’ were also
overwhelming. Luhan, Chen, Baekhyun, Suho, etc. evaluated his fashion
sense to be high. To the point where Luhan expressed himself with just
one word, ‘fashion king’. Baekhyun also acknowledged Kris’ sense saying
“He has a lot of interest in fashion.”
2. Luhan
▶ Who : Luhan. That’s his real name. It means ‘deer of the dawn’. Chinese fans call him ‘Lulu’.
▶ Where : April 20, 1990. He was born in Beijing in China. He’s currently at Seoul Art College as a practical music major.
▶ When :
In April of 2008 he was street casted. He was chosen while shopping
with a friend in Myungdong. He went through 3 years of training and
joined ‘EXO-M’.
▶ What : He’s in charge of vocals. His specialty
is reactions. Even if he suffers from getting edited in variety (t/n:
getting his parts cut), he is the member who stands to the side and
claps until the end.
▶ 11R
Suho about Luhan :
Gentleness and strength, he is a member who has both of these things. He
trusts in me and is a good-hearted person that I can communicate with
well.
Kai → Luhan : Like a deer, he has clear eyes and a cute personality.
Kris → Luhan : His smiling image is cool.
Xiumin → Luhan : The best pair.
Lay → Luhan : He’s a good friend who pays attention to anything.
Chanyeol → Luhan : His appearance is that of a baby’s but as you get to know him, he’s a real man.
Baekhyun → Luhan : Like a baby, he’s pure, nice, and has singing, dancing, and looks.
D.O → Luhan : Handsome man.
Tao → Luhan : A precious hyung. He’s funny.
Chen → Luhan : Absolutely has a baby face. But he is a manly and mature hyung.
Sehun → Luhan : As much as he seems young at times, he is a pure and good hyung.
▶ Luhan’s
keyword : He is in charge of ‘good looks’ in the group. D.O, Chen, Kai,
Baekhyun, etc. acknowledged his good looks. His clear skin and bright,
round eyes are his weapons. The nickname ‘Lulu’ with the meaning deer of
the dawn fits just right with his appearance.
As much as his
outer appearance, his personality is gentle. The members named him
‘soondoongie’ (t/n: innocent, pure) and ‘milk boy’ (t/n: superior and
has good genes). Everyone chorused about Luhan that he’s ‘pure’, ‘nice’,
‘pays attention to anything’, ‘cuter personality’, ‘good-hearted
person’. Here, Suho and Chanyeol gave a reversal saying ‘he loks like a
baby but has the charms of a real man.’
3. Xiumin
▶ Who : Xiumin. Real name Kim Minseok. Nickname ‘muggle
killer.’ A figure of speech from the movie ‘Harry Potter,’ his nickname
means that he is a magical person that can even make a ‘muggle,’ an
ordinary person, into a fan.
▶ Where : Born in March 26, 1990. He was born in Gyeonggi-do,
Guri. He graduated from Guri Inchang High School. Instead of entering
college, he put his all into becoming a singer.
▶ When : He entered SM Entertainment by winning second place in
SM’s EverySing Contest’ in 2008. He lived a trainee lifestyle for four
years. Although he’s Korean, he was chosen as an ‘EXOM’ member.
▶ What : With versatile skills, he is in charge of both vocal
and rap. Like ‘EXO’s’ eldest hyung(?), he does not have any morning
sleep. He is the only member that is a morning person within ‘EXO.’
▶ 11R
Suho about Xiumin : He’s clean, gentle, manly, and a cool member that always does his best.
Kai → Xiumin : Meerkat. Although his appearance is cute, he is a hyung that protects us.
Kris → Xiumin : A cool member that is thorough with his self maintenance.
Lay → Xiumin : A hyung that takes care of his dongsaengs very well.
Chanyeol → Xiumin : He’s clean and hard-working.
Baekhyun → Xiumin : A cute, delicate, and kind personality
that is unlike an eldest hyung’s. He thinks of the members a lot and
always works hard.
D.O → Xiumin : He takes care of himself well.
Tao → Xiumin : A hyung that will always take care of me.
Chen → Xiumin : He’s neat and honest. A reassuring eldest hyung.
Luhan → Xiumin : He’s clean and neat.
Sehun → Xiumin : Like the eldest hyung, he’s the most adult like.
▶ Xiumin’s keyword : Commonly acknowledged
was ‘eldest hyung.’ He has the most adult like personality amongst the
members. There were a lot of dongsaengs that follow the reassuring
hyung. Amongst those, Baekhyun sent his infinite faith by stating “he
thinks of the members a lot.”
A newly known fact is that he is ‘in charge of cleaning.’
There were also a lot of talk about ‘neat,’ ‘clean,’ ‘diligent,’ etc. In
reality, Xiumin is the type that enjoys cleaning the dorm. He also
enjoys dishwashing. He is the icon of setting an example by cleaning
instead of his dongsaengs.
4. Chen
▶ Who : Chen. Korean name Kim Jongdae. Leader of beagle line(Chanyeol, Baekhyun) within ‘EXO.’
▶ Where : Born on September 21, 1992. He was born in Gyeonggi-do, Siheung. He graduated from Siheung Jeongwang High School.
▶ When : He passed the SM auditions in 2011. His training period was three months. He is the one that debuted in high gear.
▶ What : Lead vocal. His forte is his storm like high notes. He
is the member that has the best sociability skills. They say he sends
flower smiles to his sasaeng fans, also known as Buddha Mind.
▶ 11R
Chen that Suho says : The textbook of kindness. He follows
me well but sometimes he gets sulky often. One who has a charm that
bobbles.
Kai → Chen : A 6-month-old beagle. Although he’s not as much as Chanyeolie hyung, he’s gradually getting bigger.
Kris → Chen : Our main vocal! His high notes are cool.
Xiumin → Chen : Reliable My Bro.
Lay → Chen : Our team’s vocal that genuinely lets out the highest note.
Chanyeol → Chen : He’s really kind, and he’s funky. My soulmate 3.
Baekhyun → Chen : If you look at him, he’s just funny. He’s an endlessly kind same-age friend and I like him because we match well.
D.O → Chen : main vocal.
Tao → Chen : Singing best.
Luhan → Chen : He sings really well.
Sehun → Chen : He’s funky and I really like him. I love you.
▶ Chen’s keyword : He can compress
‘gwiyomi.’ He’s a member that can make one have a mother’s smile on
their face by just looking at him. A member with a bright and cheerful
personality, he is charge of gags within the team. He has a storm-like
sociability skill that allows him to have intimate relationships with
all the members.
He’s also a ‘skilled one’ that was able to debut in just three months
time. Luhan, Tao, D.O, Kris, etc complimented his singing abilities.
Without much modification, they said words like ‘singing best,’ ‘main
vocal,’ ‘he’s really good at singing.’ Above all else, he was judged to
have a charming high note that he sings with his storm-like vocal
cords.
5. Tao
▶ Who : Tao. Chinese name ‘Huang Zi Tao’. ‘EXO’s’
murim master. He started learning wu shu since six and since then has
been receiving professional training for around eleven years. He was
also a high-jump athlete. In a Tsingtao region competition, he also has
the experience of winning.
▶ Where : Born on May 2, 1993. He was born in China Qingdao. Besides that, nothing else has been revealed.
▶ When : He was casted in China Shantung province Qingdao in 2011. In one year, he was sold-out to prepare for debut.
▶ What : In
charge of raps. Self proclaimed Romantic Panda. He is the style that
has a lot of tears. He confessed that because he misses his grandmother,
he cries one year per day. As much as he is the maknae, he has a lot of
aegyo.
▶ 11R
Suho about Tao : He requested that I write
down that he’s specialㅎㅎ Our ABstyle son that is really special and his
sensibility is abundant.
Kai → Tao : Chick. In my eyes, he seems like a cute baby bird.
Kris → Tao : Cool, loving dongsaeng.
Xiumin → Tao : My homework.
Lay → Tao : Although sometimes he’s out of mind, still cute.
Chanyeol → Tao : Unpredictable. A member that we don’t know where he bounce off to.
Baekhyun → Tao : He’s really unique. When I look at Tao, I feel as if he’ll suddenly display a supernatural power.
D.O → Tao : ABstyle.
Chen → Tao : A cutie that lives in a four-dimensional world.
Luhan → Tao : Unique ABstyle.
Sehun → Tao : A friend that is cute and overpasses being four-dimensional.
▶ Tao’s
keyword : ’four-dimensional’, ’blood type AB’. He was the style that
we don’t know when or where he’ll bounce off to. He was gaining the
hyungs’ interest half-willingly and half not. He was also the hardest
homework for Xiumin, whose the most adult like in the team.
There was also a twist. His extravagant martial arts skills and
athletic ability was a white elephant in front of the hyungs. To the
members, he was just a cute maknae. Lay even showed his infinite love by
saying that his four-dimensional personality is even “cute.”
6. Lay
▶ Who : Lay. Real name Zhang Yixing.
▶ Where : Born on October 7, 1991. He was born in China Hunan Changsha. There is nothing of his past that has been revealed.
▶ When :
He ented SM in 2008. He was casted in a China Wuhan audition. Before
debut, he has come out in a Chinese star academy broadcast before.
▶ What :
He’s in charge of sub-vocals. He is very interseted in music.음He
respects Beethoven and Mozart. He is the role of the healing character
within the team. He was also chosen as the most kindest member.
▶ 11R
Suho
about Lay : Musical genius. He does not lose to anyone in his area of
work. He’s a professional that works hard. An icon of healing^^
Kai → Lay : Unicorn. Lay hyung is always healing~ healing~
Xiumin → Lay : His passion is overflowing.Chanyeol → Lay : He whimsical and pure.
Baekhyun → Lay : He is the member
that is the most innocent and pure amongst EXO. His concentration in all
works is oustanding and he can dance, compose, sing, play instruments,
and is very passionate. Sometimes when he is too pure, everyone gets
surprised and finds it cute.
D.O → Lay : A whimsical charm.
Tao → Lay : He dances well and composes well.
Chen → Lay : He is a hyung that is tough, considerate, cute and witty.
Luhan → Lay : He dances well and is a man.
Sehun → Lay : He is a good hyung. He is kind and cute.
▶
Lay’s keyword: He is the representative of ‘healing.’ He was the icon of
healing of EXO members. Extravagent eloquence, it wasn’t just because
of his overflowing experience. The root of Lay’s healing is from his
kind heart. This is from the message of his members that automatically
gain pure hearts once looking at Lay.
One can also assume that he has a passion for music that is unlike
any other. He shows interest composition, playing instruments, singing,
dance, and all different aspects. Whenever he has time, he was
aggressive in self improving whether it be by composing or playing
instruments.
'EXO' is currently the hottest boy group. About one year
and five months since debut, the term rookie is still more familiar to
them. However, recently with 'Wolf and Beauty' and 'Growl,' they hit a
repeated home run and quickly grew as the next generation representative
idol. They have proved that they are the current trend as they bring
about many fans everywhere they go.
Even their creation is special. ‘EXO’ is a Korean-Chinese
twin group. They promote as Korean ‘EXOK’ and Chinese main force group,
‘EXOM.’ They promote in both countries by singing the same title song in
both Korean and Chinese. Other times they show off a different charm as
they promote as a whole with all twelve members joined together with
‘EXO.’
However although we know ‘EXO,’ the members are
unfamiliar. Above all else, there being twelve members is an
obstacle(?). If you’re not a fan, it i s hard to grasp an understanding
of each member’s charms. That is why we have prepared. It is ‘EXO life
of research.’ What we know of ‘EXO’ vs ‘EXO’ that ‘EXO’ says is basic +
we’re going into a deep study.
As a reference, we used a rolling paper in the deep-study.
Besides themselves, they left a personal criticism for the other eleven
members. 4W 11R(Who, Where, When, What, 11Rolling Paper), the first
subject is ‘EXOK.’
1. Suho
▶ Who : Suho. Real name Kim Joonmyun. Because
he was in charge of the sacred character in his early debut days, he
was also called ‘Joonmen’ because of ‘Joonmyun + Amen.’
▶ Where : He is 22 years old, born in May 22, 1991. Starting
as class president in the Gangnam eight school district, his feature is
that during his school days he was vice-president as well as a majority
of different board member positions. He is known as ‘mother’s friend’s
son’ after entering the Korea National University of Arts as an acting
major in ‘09.
▶ When : He entered SM Entertainment in 2005. He is an icon of sincerity within SM because he firmly endured the long trainee life.
▶ What : He is the lead vocal as well as the leader of
‘EXOK.’ He has safe vocal skills. Also, he is filled with leadership. It
is known that he treats the members out all the time.
▶ 11R
Kai about Suho : If you compare him to an
animal, a golden retriever. Although he’s cute and kind, he is an
exemplary and reliable hyung that goes out of his way to care for others
when he needs to
Kris → Suho : A member I want to ask to buy me food
Xiumin → Suho : Always our leader
Lay → Suho : Leader amongst the leaders
Chaneyol → Suho : Although he may seem perfect, because
he sometimes he seems like he’s empty talk (t/n: there is no word that
100% describes heodang, and naver dictionary says empty talk), it is
more charmful.
Baekhyun → Suho : He’s really kind and a exemplary leader. He is textbook-like hyung that I have a lot to learn from
D.O → Suho : precious leader
Tao → Suho : my loving mother
Chen → Suho : You would think he’s perfect, but because he is 2% lacking, a cute perfectionist
Luhan → Suho : He treats me well
Sehun
→ Suho : A hyung I go to when I have a lot of troubles. Although there
are times when it doesn’t get solved, I still look for himㅋㅋ
▶
Rolling paper example ‘Suho’ keyword : ‘Leader,’ ‘Mother’s friend’s
son,’ and ‘Empty talk.’ There was a lot of talk about his role as a
leader. Kai, Xiumin, Lay, Baekhyun, Tao, etc. a total of six members
critiqued him as the ‘best leader.’
Above all else, through the rolling paper, a new truth we
found out was ‘empty talk.’ Chanyeol and Chen pointed out his talent of
empty talk. Through maknae Sehun’s words we can concretely see the
reason. “Although I go to him when I have concerns, there are times when
it doesn’t get solved,” is the decisive hint. It is a completely
different hidden charm from his serious side.
2. Baekhyun
▶ Who : Baekhyun. Real name Byun Baekhyun. With his explosive sociability, he’s in charge of the ‘kkab’ in the team.
▶ Where : May 6th, 1992, 21 years old. He’s from Gyeonggi-do, Bucheon and has lived a pretty ordinary life until now.
▶
When : Joined SM Entertainment in 2011. He got cast on his way to the
college entrance exams. Since he’s the last ‘EXO-K’ member to have
joined, he’s the member who debuted with the fastest in the history of
SM.
▶ What : ‘EXO-K”s main vocal. Even though he sings well, he can also play the piano, making him a high class singer.
▶ 11R
Suho about Baekyun : He’s a person full of sense who’s like vitamins. He’s cute and a prankster full of wits.
Kai
→ Baekhyun : If I had to compare him to an animal, I’d say a yorkshire.
He’s got pretty looks and a pretty personality but he’s also a man with
pride
Kris → Baekhyun : He’s a fun member who makes the other members laugh
Xiumin → Baekhyun : A cute jokester
Lay → Baekhyun : He’s the team’s mood maker. He’s a nice dongsaeng who gives me lots of advices when I’m worried
Chaneyol → Baekhyun : He’s really witty and talented. My soulmate 1
D.O → Baekhyun : A nice friend
Tao → Baekhyun : A hyung who’s like family
Chen → Baekhyun : Even though he’s an amazing prankster, he’s a strong friend with a big heart
Luhan → Baekhyun : His personality is nice and he’s funny
Sehun → Baekhyun : He cares about the members a lot. He’s nice
▶
Baekhyun’s keywords : ‘Wit’, ‘Mood maker’ and ‘sokjeong’ (T/N :
‘sokjeong’ means quiet and serious). Suho, Kris, Xiumin and Luhan all
acknowledged how witty and funny he is. They also said he had lots of
sense and was good at cracking jokes.
He’s been picked as the
‘mood maker’. Lay defined him as the mood makae of ‘EXO’. Of course
there’s a serious part of him we don’t know. He has ‘sokjeong’. D.O,
Chen and Sehun said he’s a person who takes care of people well. You
could also feel [Baekhyun’s] warm heart when Lay said he was a nice
dongsaeng who gives [Lay] lots of advices whenever he’s worried.
3. Chanyeol
▶Who : Chanyeol. Real name
Park Chanyeol. It’s a name that means a filled fruit. His nickname is
teeth rich person (they say it’s because a lot of his teeth show when he
smiles). Fans also call him nation’s good teeth.
▶Where :
Born on November 27, 1992 (his birthday hasn’t passed yet). Born in
Seoul, he graduated from Gangnam Hyundae High School.
▶When :
He joined SM Entertainment in 2008. Bcause of his tall height at 185cm
and his distinct facial features, he gathered a lot of fans since before
debut.
▶What : He’s in charge of rap within the
team. His deep voice matches well with rap. He’s also skilled in playing
instruments. He’s good at drum, bass, etc and is a musicial that is
always ready to strive for more music study.
▶11R
Chanyeol
that Suho says : He’s a musician that is really cool when you see him
focusing on music! He’s a matured member that I want to treat better
these days
Kai→Chanyeol : Beagle. He’s cute, bright, and active. He’s someone that possess energy that doesn’t know how to get worn out.
Kris→Chanyeol : He’s always smilingㅋㅋ I like him because he’s tall
Xiumin→Chanyeol : happy happy happy virus
Lay→Chanyeol : He’s the one in charge of reactions that are always animated
Baekhyun→Chanyeol : He’s a child that is full of jokes like me. A friend that matches well with me because we have similar personalities.
D.O→Chanyeol : atmosphere maker. He’s noisy because he talks too much
Tao→Chanyeol : funny person
Chen→Chanyeol : As predicted, reaction is best!!! A jokester that is always overflowing with jokes
Luhan→Chanyeol : He’s fun and is a cooking king
Sehun→Chanyeol : He’s funㅋㅋ He makes the members laugh by ruining himself.
▶Chanyeol’s
key word : ‘musician,’ ‘reaction’ and ‘cooking.’ Because he’s good at
playing instruments and studys hard to study composition, he was even
complimented by Suho for being a cool musician. Howver, there was more
talk about his personality. Kai, Kris, Xiumin, Lay, D.O, Chen, and Sehun
mentioned his gag insticts and reactions. However, if you follow D.O
s word, the only trap is that because he talks too much, he’s noisy.
Another
truth that we newly found was his cooking skills. It’s to the degree
that Luhan says ‘cooking king.’ To be honest, D.O is known to be in
charge of cooking within ‘EXOK.’ He’s a skilled person that makes
spaghetti really well. We believe that the judgement of cooking king is
based on Luhan’s own perspectives.
4. D.O.
▶ Who : D.O. Real name Do Kyungsoo. Since he eats well, he’s known for having lots of 'pictures of him eating'.
▶ Where : January 12th, 1993, 20 years old. He’s from Gyeonggi-do Goyang-si and graduated from the Baekseok highschool.
▶ When : Entered SM Entertainment in 2010. Got cast as a sophomore in high school, he’s talented and debuted after a relatively short time.
▶ What : In charge of the main vocals. Aside from singing, his speciality is beatboxing. The moments he belts his high notes while looking at the camera with a serious expression are especially memorable.
▶ 11R
Suho about D.O : He’s reliable and a member who understands people’s feelings well. I don’t know why but I somehow want to pinch his cheeks ㅋㅋ.
Kai→D.O : If I had to compare him to a puppy, I’d say a maltese. Whenever he’s serious, quiet or he does aegyo, a maltese is still a maltese.
Kris→D.O : A really nice dongsaeng. I like him a lot
Xiumin → D.O : It seems like I’m seeing myself, a member with a similar personality
Lay→ D.O. : He’s so cute
Chanyeol → D.O : He’s silent and calm. My soulmate 2
Baekyun → D.O. : He’s delicate, clean and there’s a lot of charisma coming from his tiny frame. D.O is also nice and is the same age as me so he’s a friend whose mind goes well with mine.
Tao → D.O : He’s nice
Chen → D.O : He’s a considerate and thoughtful vocalist full of sense
Luhan → D.O : He’s really good at singing
Sehun → D.O : He’s a really nice hyung. There are times when he isn’t, but when there are way more moments when he is [nice] ㅋㅋ
▶ D.O.’s keywords : ‘Considerate’, ‘Singing’ and ‘Charisma’. Suho, Kris, Tao, Chen and Sehun especially praised his personality. They mostly said he was delicate, thoughtful and that he understands the members’ feelings well. It can be interpreted as him being really considerate.
Since he’s the main vocal, ‘singing’ also came up while the members were talking about him. Luhan
concluded by saying ‘He’s really good at singing’. Someone also said
that even though he was tiny, his charisma was inversely proportional to
his height. However Kai said that whether he’s serious, quiet or he
does aegyo, he’s like a maltese (puppy), revealing D.O.’s cute charms.
5. Kai
▶ Who : Kai. Real name Kim Jongin. His stage name Kai means ‘open’ and it implies his role is to reveal (T/N : literally open) EXO’s secrets.
▶ Where : January 14th, 1994, 18 years old. From Seoul, he graduated from the performing acts highschool of Seoul.
▶
When : Joined SM Entertainment in 2007. Friends with Taemin from
‘SHINee’ ever since they were young. Even though he debuted late, he
didn’t give, he’s a man with a burning passion. He’s been a trainee with
Suho for a long time.
▶ What : He’s in charge of being the
dance machine. He’s learn jazz dance and ballet ever since he was young
so the way he uses his body is outstanding. Even though he does the same
choreography, his ganji(?) (T/N : ganji means coolness /
awesomeness but in that case ‘swag’ kind of works as well since it’s
about the way he looks when he dances) is uncommon.
▶ 11R
Suho
about Kai : I’ve been with him for a while so he’s a world dancer who’s
like a real brother who I want to take care of and who needs to be
taken care of.
Kris → Kai : He’s really good at dancing
Xiumin → Kai : A sexy cutie
Lay → Kai : My dance teacher
Chanyeol → Kai : He’s so cool and his dark skin is charming
Baekhyun → Kai : His body is sexy and his face has an imposing charm but he’s actually innocent, nice and cute
D.O → Kai : He’s really good at dancing
Tao → Kai : Dark skin, good friend
Chen → Kai : He’s younger than me but he’s a really strong and sweet dongsaeng and there’s a lot of things I can learn from him
Luhan → Kai : He’s really good at dancing
Sehun → Kai : He says lots of serious things about the members
▶
Kai’s keywords : ‘Dance’, ‘Sexy’ and ‘Innocent’. Just how he’s EXO-K’s
dancer, there are lots of things related to dance [that have been said
about him]. Suho, Kris, Lay, D.O. and Luhan all said he was really good
at dancing. Suho especially called him a world dancer and Lay said he
was his dance teacher, acknowledging his skills.
The ‘sexiness’
he has that can be felt once he’s on stage has been mentioned a lot.
Baekhyun’s story also infered that the source of this sexiness was his
body. But in the other way, he also has kid-like charms. This is exactly
what his keyword ‘innocent’ is about. Like this, you can assume he has a
child-like image that differs from his strong performances.
6. Sehun
▶ Who : Sehun. Real name Oh Sehun..
▶
Where : April 12, 1994, 19 years old. From Seoul, graduated from the
performing arts high school of Seoul. Even though he’s the same age as
Kai, because they’re separated by their birth days, he can’t get away
from the maknae spot.
▶ When : Joined SM Entertainment in 2008.
Thanks to his tall height (181 cm) and his long period of training, he
doesn’t really seem like the maknae.
▶ What : His specialities
are dancing and acting. Even though he’s actually the maknae, he always
gets ranked low when it comes to the cutie ranking [within the group].
He’s currently taking the role of the maknae who doesn’t look like one
with his strong visuals.
▶ 11R
Suho about Sehun : I always see him as a kid, he’s a member with a big heard who I affectionate a lot and that I want to hug
Kai → Sehun : If I had to compare him to an animal, I’d say a cat. He may look cold but he’s a cute maknae with lots of aegyo
Kris → Sehun : A pretty dongsaeng I cherish
Xiumin → Sehun : Lovely maknae
Lay → Sehun : Even though he’s young, the way he thinks is like an adult’s
Chanyeol → Sehun : I sometimes don’t know who’s the hyung and who’s the dongsaeng [between us]. However he’s a cute dongsaeng ㅋㅋ
Baekhyun → Sehun : He has a baby skin and smells like one, he’s a maknae I want to hug
D.O → Sehun : Cute maknae
Tao → Sehun : Best friend forever
Chen → Sehun : He’s a hyung-like dongsaeng full of aegyo who sometimes confuses me so much I ask myself, am I the dongsaeng?
Luhan → Sehun : He’s cute and funny

Sehun’s keywords : ‘Maknae’, ‘Serious’ and ‘Aegyo’. Since he’s the
youngest member, the word maknae comes up a lot. Suho, Kai, Kris,
Xiumin, Baekhyun and D.O all called him cute maknae. Baekhyun especially
said he wanted to hug(?) him because of his baby skin and smell. Even
though he always looks serious and cold on TV, a maknae is still a
maknae.
There were lots of stories about his ‘seriousness’. ‘By
saying he has a big heard, Suho revealed his reversal personality. Lay’s
appraisal was also similar. By saying Sehun seemed like an adult, he
showed his mature charms.
