Suho

Suho, Kim Jun-myeon, strikes me as one of the most quietly admirable figures in K-pop. As the leader of Exo, he carried the burden of holding a large group together while singing, dancing, and acting himself, the least glamorous and most demanding role in any team. That kind of steadfast, behind-the-scenes responsibility, sustained with grace over many years, earns my genuine respect. His 2020 solo debut Self-Portrait finally let him show a more personal artistic voice. Fittingly, his stage name means guardian; he has lived up to it, and I hope this kind of dependable leadership gets the recognition it deserves.
