During his first year of middle school, Yugyeom competed in the Hidden Performing Arts Tournament, where he performed BEAST's (also known as HIGHLIGHT) "Shock." His brother shared his performance online, which caught the attention of Yugyeom's cousin, a dance instructor. She invited him to join her dance school. Another instructor at the school worked under JYP Entertainment and asked him to audition for the label.
As an idol, he showed off his dance skills as a contestant on Mnet's "Hit the Stage," where he competed in episodes 9 and 10. While he ranked second place in episode 9, he ultimately won first place during the finale.

Kai is widely regarded as one of the best dancers in K-pop. He is known for his careful precision, knowing when to go slow, fast, slow, and hard in his moves. In addition, the idol is a master of variation and knows when to add tension to his moves to captivate the audience. Because of that, Kai has become a role model for many junior idols in the industry.
His dancing landed him a spot in SM Entertainment's dance group, SM the Performance, alongside fellow EXO member Lay, TVXQ's Yunho, Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Donghae, and SHINee's Minho and Taemin.
