As I glanced upon this teen boy in casual blue jeans and a plain T-shirt, I was beyond annoyed by the unintended attention he received. Why? I acknowledge his handsome feature-- the small bored eyes, thick lips, the dark messy hair that fit perfectly atop his boyish face and not to mention his slim boy body supported by his not-too-tall but average height. Indeed these characteristics would draw a person's attention but they were not unique or unheard of. Almost any model would fit this description but what made Kai (Kim Jongin) so special?

At first, I decided or perhaps pretended to ignore him. Physical attraction could not possibly compare to a person's personality. In life, we have all come across that hot guy in the school with a crappy personality. So what if he is really hot, the definition for the adjective SEXY? These words are so meaningless.
However, as it became unavoidable for a k-pop fan, I gradually saw more sides of Kai.
On stage, he becomes the center; regardless of where he stands within his group. Within a large group of people, he is easily mistaken as an exclusive person. However, when he communicates his smile brings out his friendly personality When spotted alone, he is observant of his surrounding and surprises you with a drastic change of expression. Yet, when he dances, you are pulled into the act--- the dance moves are not limited to body moments but he also provides an emotional attachment to the song.
One of my most favorite dance from Kai is for the song "Two Moons" from the Exo's album MAMA. I came across this video about a month ago. "Two Moons" has a catchy rhythm but Kai's enthusiasm while dancing actually drew me toward this song. Mind you, he has a accompany while performing this song but his dance moves (although same as the other member) are exaggerated and surpass the limitation of typical dance-movement to a K-Pop song.

Who is this Kai? Is he destined to shake people of their feet and take a small place in their heart?
At first, I believed that Kai as a rookie celebrity was over-advertised but evidences soon changed my opinion. Today, I view this boy as a container of limitless potential and talent. If one takes the time to stop judging him based on the advertisement method of his company, you will discover an interesting person hidden behind the celebrity image.
