In an interview with 1st Look Magazine, EXO member Kai revealed just how much he misses performing live in front of fans.
Recently, Kai posed for two covers of 1st Look Magazine, announcing that he is the first-ever male muse of international beauty brand Bobbi Brown. In the magazine, Kai showed off visuals suiting the lead of a romance manhwa, flaunting his healthy and beautiful skin. Along with extreme close-ups on his visuals, Kai also showed off his amazing physique with thin and light clothing. He sported white t-shirts and beige knitwear, allowing his charisma and charms to captivate the viewers.
In an interview, Kai confessed to missing performing in front of fans, saying, "I love the stage in itself, but it is the fans who make the stage special. I feel happy when I see the fans' expression and hear them cheering. That happiness gives me energy and helps me focus on the emotions of the song."
He said in the interview, "Lately, I often think about how I want to hold a performance or a concert together with fans. I think about this several times a day. I hope that the day will soon come that I can hold a performance that is full of energy and life."
Kai also gave fans more insight into the mind of the 26-year-old idol during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Lately, I think I am just trying to enjoy each day," he says. "I really want to do this work for a long time. I think about the ways in which I can be happy and live my life healthily."
Kai's pictorial shots and interviews can be found in 1st Look Magazine's No.206 issue, which will be published on October 22, Thursday. In addition, beauty films featuring Kai's vivid charms and behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot will be released on Instagram and YouTube.
