Personal life. Kai from exo shares his innermost feelings

Not for a moment escaped the attention of the media. Confirmation to that great amount published interviews. But it surpassed the rest. The singer spoke about what he was silent about before.

The first thing he starts with is giving permission to call him by his real name: “Jongin is what my family and friends call me. This is a very narrow circle. I never allow it to be used outside the established framework. ”

“Until a certain point, I didn’t read my interviews or the rest of the band members. For me, it's kind of uncomfortable. It’s as if I myself wrote this last night, but today I decided to open it like this and read it ... Yes, and when I was younger, I probably didn’t fully realize and felt what was happening. Although I don't tend to say things that embarrass people."

Since its debut, many fans have considered best dancer Crore. To a journalist's question "What is dancing for him", the singer did not think about the answer for a long time: “I accept it as a mandatory part of my work on stage. I won’t say that this is a burden for me, but this is not the only thing that makes me happy. Maybe in the future, I will boldly stop dancing.”

But then he continued: "Nonetheless. Dancing classes help me get rid of all negative emotions. After a good workout, I feel better.”

He did not hide his surprise when asked "What does mom mean to you?" .

“You are asking a strange question. Any free time I try to spend with her. Sometimes we go somewhere together. Then she asks not to call her “mom”, as very often they recognize me on the street and she is a little uncomfortable to be in such a position.

—"Majority famous people often actually lonely. Sometimes it shows on their faces. What do you think about this being one of the EXO members? "

“I try to be bright, but there is truth in these words. I like to be alone and sometimes I cry. I have no friends. At such moments, I am too dejected. Therefore, I stay at home. I make no special effort to avoid or ignore these emotions. I just look them in the eye. I'm not ashamed of it..."

“What then is happiness? What do you need to do to be happier?

“Happiness cannot be eternal. Sometimes people don't realize how happy they are. After all, for this feeling you need quite a bit. We must learn to understand ourselves, to enjoy everything positive every day, and to drive away the bad. Such simple rules make a lot of people happy. It's hard, but you have to strive. I also have to learn this. Think for yourself, we can be happy even from the fact that we are sitting here one on one and talking, but none of us, after leaving the room, will think about it.

Few people who are into Asian pop culture are unaware of group EXO. A Korean group like PSY has suddenly become popular and in demand, a phenomenon that is hard to explain logically. After all, there are more than one or two groups like this one in Korean show business.

EXO: Korean group. Biography

The name of the group stands for "exoplanet" - a planet that is outside our galaxy. And it implies that the usual laws are not suitable for it. The same applies to the group: their music is difficult to fit into any one real eclecticism that unites different styles. Unique and inimitable.

Creation of the group and debut

The boy band was created in December and included 12 cute guys: 8 Koreans and 4 Chinese. Prior to their official debut, the 12 members were divided into 2 subgroups: M1 and M2, later named EXO-K and EXO-M, aimed at Korean and Chinese audiences.

In March 2012, the final one was approved and all EXO members were presented, the official debut date of the boy band is considered to be the beginning of April 2012. However, the acquaintance of the audience with new group began immediately after the announcement of the creation. SM Entertainment has taken a serious approach to conquering the future market, and small videos have regularly appeared on YouTube for 100 days, not to mention pictures for magazines. In addition, a special show was filmed with the members of the group, where they performed several songs, talked about themselves and answered questions from numerous fans. So by the time they officially debuted, the guys were already recognizable and quite popular. April 8 is considered a starting point, since on this day the first large-scale performances of the guys took place simultaneously in Korea and China with the single "Mama" and the release of the first mini-album. After that, the group went on a general tour. The Korean group EXO (the photos show why) immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

Golden time

One year after exo's successful debut korean group released her first full albums, HOHO Kiss and HOHO Hug, for Korean and Chinese audiences respectively. In addition to absolutely new songs, the album includes already known and loved by fans since the Internet promotion Baby don’t cry and My lady. Wolf became the main song of the album. It was with this track that all members of the Korean group exo performed at the Summer Universiade in Kazan. And thanks to Wolf, the first awards were received. The boy band at the end of the year was recognized as the best new group.

In August, the group released the Growl album and a video for the title track of the same name. From this moment begins golden time» groups - received 12 prestigious awards, sold a huge number of discs, released a clip drama based on the album. The popularity of the guys is growing both in Korea, China, and the rest of the world.

In December, EXO released the mini-album Miracles in December, which, like the previous one, occupies the top positions in the music charts and sells out instantly.

Until the end of 2013, EXO performed as a single line-up, but then again there was a division into subgroups to promote the album in different countries.

End? Or the beginning?

At the beginning of May 2014, EXO (Korean group) releases a new mini-album Overdose. Ahead of the guys is an advertising campaign in two countries, the first big solo concert. But something happened that no one could have foreseen: the leader of EXO-M, Chris, decides to leave the boy band and sues SM Entertainment, wanting to terminate the contract. What caused the young man to leave is still not known and is unlikely to come up somewhere.

The other members of the group were as shocked as the fans by the news and promised to do their best to win back their trust.

The group's concert passed without Chris's participation, the scandal seemed to subside, the fans calmed down ... And another bomb explodes: in October, Lu Han announces his departure from the group and also files a lawsuit. official reason leaving the group was declared tired. According to relatives and friends, young man rest is needed, he is too exhausted emotionally and physically to continue his career.

Fans were covered by a wave of panic and hysteria. Perhaps to appease the audience, the decision was made to merge EXO-K and EXO-M into one group, which SM Entertainment announced at a press conference on October 13th. From that moment on, the boy band is officially called EXO-L. The choice of the letter is not accidental: it is L that is between K and M, and symbolizes LOVE - the members' love for each other and their fans, the desire to keep moving forward and give joy with their new songs.

In March 2015, Seoul hosts the second big concert group, the second EXODUS album is released, the main single Call me baby brings 17 awards ... And in mid-April, the group was in a fever again: the first information appeared about Tao's desire to leave the boy band. As a result, the young man filed a lawsuit in August to terminate the contract and left EXO, taking up solo activities like Chris and Lu Han.

On the this moment There are 9 members in the group. And fans hope that no more departures are expected.

Korean idols are popular not only in their homeland, but all over the world. Khai, a member of EXO, is no exception. In a boy band, he acts as the main dancer and rapper.

Boy Kim Jong In was born in January 1994 in Seoul.

From childhood he was sent to dance school ballet class and jazz lessons. The parents also wanted their son to study taekwondo and play the piano, but after a few lessons he got bored.

His hair was long enough that people sometimes confused Kim with a girl.

While still at school, he saw the performance of Shinhwa and decided to become a singer. Kim also has two older sisters who have always supported him.

The father recorded his son's ballet classes on video and sent them to S.M. entertainment. The first time he did not pass the casting, but this served as an incentive for the boy to dance harder and try again next year.

At the age of 13, he auditioned for S.M. Entertainment via S.M. Best Youth Contest. Due to the fact that his age was small, the producers suggested that he get musical education. During four years he honed his skills and already in 2011 he was offered to become part of the new boy band EXO and its subgroup EXO-K.
