Kai

Kai is, for me, the dancer's dancer of his generation of K-pop. As a member of Exo and SuperM he could have coasted on group success, but his solo run, starting with Kai in 2020 and continuing through Peaches, Rover and Wait On Me, proved he can carry a world of his own. What sets him apart is the precision and quiet menace of his movement; he changes the temperature of a stage the moment he steps on it. Trained at Seoul's performing arts high school, his polish is earned, not gifted. That blend of star charisma and craftsman's discipline is rare.
