The main dancer and visual of EXO celebrates his birthday today! To commemorate Kai's special day, we listed down five reasons that prove he truly a "Walking Art."
Kim Jongin, prominently known as Kai, debuted on April 8, 2012 as a member of EXO under SM Entertainment. With his incredible dancing skills and charisma, the "Mmmh" singer immediately captured attention and is now one of the top K-pop superstars that many newbies look up to the most.
Embodying perfect creativity, transcending imaginations, concepts, and beauty, Kai even earned the nickname "Walking Art."
Here are 5 Reasons That Prove EXO Kai is a 'Walking Art':

While most idols seem to align their image based on the Korean beauty standard, Kai has physical attributes that are unique compared to other stars, making him stand out even more.
Starting from his face, Kai completely defies the Korean beauty standards with his gorgeous tanned skin and full lips. He also gave a sensuous vibe, the opposite of idols' innocent and pure-looking image.
Amidst being atypical to beauty standards, EXO Kai still rose as one of the top visuals in K-pop and was even chosen by numerous luxury brands as their ambassador, such as Gucci.
Also, if the category is jawline, Kai's sculpture-like jaw will undoubtedly win!
2. Body Line
Just like art, EXO Kai's body ratio is top-tier!
Fans fancy his toned abs and strong thighs. Whenever he is dancing to an intense choreography, his body line will make you think you are looking at a portrait!
3. Contemporary Artist
Speaking of performance, EXO Kai also proves that he's an artist and the art himself! Kai is like contemporary art, in which works are globally influenced, advanced and diverse, based on the 21st century.
From his debut EP "KAI," which introduced "Mmmh," to his second EP "Peaches," the male idol flaunted different dimensions of dance, in one piece of art!
In just a span of two years since his solo debut in 2020, Kai executed his various skills in ballet, hip-hop, jazz, locking and more!
4. EXO Kai as an actor
Aside from being an artist, Kai is also an actor who received abundant praises for his skills. From being a "Dance God," he particularly showed his knack for acting on the 2018 KBS drama "Miracle We Met," where Kai transformed into a "Real God" Ato.
Upon his appearance in the drama, viewers conveyed that his overall visual and not exaggerated expression while acting is a real art, that added value to the drama as a mysterious character.
5. EXO Kai as a Model
Even if Kai is just walking, or even just standing in a corner, his presence alone can stun a lot of people!
As a model, EXO Kai didn't just pose to look good, but he always makes sure to showcase the feeling and true essence of what he is modeling for.
He's also a natural, who doesn't need to make excessive movements just to make the crowd in a frenzy, because again, Kai alone is art!
