Kim Jongin (Kai) 김종인 🐻 Overview

Kim Jongin, stage name Kai (from the Chinese for ‘open’), is a South Korean singer, model, actor, and dancer. He is a main dancer, sub rapper, sub vocalist, center, and visual of EXO. He is also a member of the South Korean supergroup SuperM, which debuted in 2019 as a collaboration between SM Entertainment and Capitol Records in the USA.

This post is part of an effort to celebrate the accomplishments of EXO over the past 10 years and to provide tangible avenues for supporting these artists in 2022 (when they will likely be leaving SM Ent.) and beyond 🖤

Kai is widely considered to be one of the best dancers in South Korea and K-pop in general. He began to train in ballet while in third grade after he watched The Nutcracker, and started dancing when he was eight years old. After participating in the SM Youth Best Contest with the encouragement of his father, he won and signed with the company in 2007 at thirteen years old.

He debuted as a soloist in November 2020 with the release of his extended-play, Kai. As of February 2022 it has sold just under half a million copies. His second mini-album, Peaches, was released in late 2021 and inspired many trends online, including the Peaches dance challenge.

Apart from his musical career, Kai has also starred in various television dramas such as Choco Bank (2016), Andante (2017), and Spring Has Come (2018). He is also highly involved in the fashion and beauty industries. From Gucci to Bobbi Brown to YSL Beauty to Levi’s to Seoul Fashion Week, his combination of style, charm, and striking appearance, makes Jongin a widely in-demand figure whose star is only going to rise.

He has not yet enlisted in his mandatory military service, but it’s estimated he will do so by the end of 2022. In the meantime, he has been keeping incredibly busy with fashion, music, and media projects (such as EXO’s TikTok account). With a goofy, sincere, and enigmatic charisma, Jongin is one of a kind. He’s a wonderful uncle, supportive member of every project he takes part in, and he represents Kpop around the world with his signature balance of sass and enthusiasm.
