Early life

Kai was born on January 14, 1994,[5] in Suncheon, South Korea, as the youngest member of his family, with two older sisters.[6] Despite his parents initially wanting him to learn Taekwondo and the piano, Kai began to train in ballet while in third grade after watching The Nutcracker,[7] and started jazz dancing when he was eight years old in the fourth grade of elementary school. His father, now deceased, was the most important benefactor of his encounter with dance, which was of great significance to his life, according to a film about his growth story featured in Gucci's 2019 film series "The Performers".[8] Kai attended high school at School of Performing Arts Seoul, from which he graduated in 2012.[9]

Artistry

Musical style

Kai's artistry has been dubbed "Kai style" for being unique to him specifically[75] as well as "limitless" for his ability to embody various concepts.[76] He's described his conscious decision to try diverse concepts for his solo albums, "Rover, Mmmh, and Peaches have absolutely nothing in common. I want to continue showing various sides of myself in the future."[77] He has been praised for transforming in a powerful performer on stage despite being a shy and introverted person off-stage. Describing this contrast, Kai said:

“Kai is me in my dream state. When I'm sleeping, it's like my dream character comes alive, and that would be Kai. I’m more of a normal, down-to-earth person. That's just me, but Kai is this persona that's on stage… I do notice that when I'm dancing and pulling off all these different concepts, [I’m] like a totally different person outside of myself doing that.”[78]

In his solo career, he has placed a strong emphasis on pairing his music with performances and high-quality visuals. Regarding the release of the promotional video FILM : KAI for his debut solo album, Kai said: "What I'm good at is performing, so I was thinking about how I could show it, and I ended up making a performance video."[79] For his second album Peaches, he released a prologue film to highlight the b-side song "Vanilla".[80] For his third album Rover, he released a second iteration of FILM : KAI.[81] For his fourth album Wait On Me, he released music videos for three tracks on the album.[82]

Dance style

Due to his background in ballet and jazz dance, Kai has brought a contemporary style to solo stages such as "Deep Breath", performed at the MAMA Awards in 2014.[83] Regarding this performance, Kai said:

At this point, I can really do anything: hip-hop, ballet, or modern dance. Back in 2014, there was a time when I wanted to show that 'I can now dance to every sound.' I thought back then that I could sublimate anything into dance—people’s voices, the sound of water droplets falling, or cars passing by. Originally, I wanted to record a completely mundane narration, like 'I woke up this morning, had a meal, and walked down the street,' and dance to that. However, due to stage production constraints, it wasn't possible. So, I ended up performing a stage called 'Deep Breath,' where I choreographed a dance to an instrumental track layered with narration.[84]

During the Exo concert tour EXO PLANET #4 – The EℓyXiOn, Kai performed the solo stage "I See You (ICU)", which also demonstrated a contemporary dance style and incorporated ballet movements.[85]

Public image and influence

Kai is a notable figure and influence in K-pop, both as a member of Exo and as a soloist. He has been named a "world class performer" for garnering attention worldwide for his performances and an "entertainment blue chip" for his sincere and mature entertainment sense.[86][87] He has also been referred to as the "idol of idols" for being cited as a role model and influence for many K-pop idols, including NCT Wish Yushi,[88] SF9 Yoo Taeyang,[89] Kang Daniel,[90] and Zerobaseone Han Yu-jin.[91] He has been noted as a major K-pop soloist, with W Korea stating "Kai deserves to be called the standard of group and solo activities" for his successful career as both a soloist and group member.[92]

Kai's dancing skills and on-stage expressions have been recognized by key figures. Choreographers Bada Lee and Choi Youngjoon named him among the best dancers in K-pop.[93][94] Girls' Generation Hyoyeon said Kai impressed her since his trainee days at SM Entertainment.[95] One of the animators of the film Kpop Demon Hunters mentioned referencing Kai's facial expressions to bring the character of Saja Boys Jinu to life.[96]

Several of Kai's solo performances have gone viral.[97] His solo performance during Exo's Love Shot stage at the 2018 SBS Gayo Daejeon was named legendary[98] and the stage video has since accumulated over 30 million views.[99] In 2018, his solo fancams for Exo's Love Shot[100] and Tempo[101] went viral with millions of views accumulated.[102] In 2023, the choreography for the single Rover, known as the "Rover Challenge",[103] went viral with several celebrities doing the challenge.[104] The virality of the "Rover Challenge" was called a "significant moment in K-pop culture history" for taking the trend of K-pop artists doing dance challenges together "to another level" after the significant attention it received.[105]

Kai has been noted as one of K-pop's biggest fashion influencers.[106] In 2019, British magazine GQ ranked Kai 7th in their list of "The 50 best-dressed men of 2020", the only K-pop artist to appear on the list[107] and named him the "world’s best-dressed K-pop star".[108] Teo van den Broeke, Style And Grooming Director of British GQ, said, "Easily the most enigmatic and stylish of his fellow K-pop sensations, the young member of Exo has a way with colour and fabric that few of his contemporaries could ever hope to achieve. What’s more, in my opinion, he wears Gucci better than Harry Styles and Jared Leto together, and that’s saying something."[109] Also in 2019, British Vogue named him among the most stylish men in the world.[110]

In December 2021, Glamour selected Kai as one of the "10 biggest style icons of 2021", the only Korean to appear on the list.[111][112] Lyst placed Kai 4th on their 2021 Power Dressers list.[113] Rolling Stone included him in a list of "25 most stylish musicians of 2022".[114] He's also been named the "master of crop-tops" for his frequent use of crop-tops in stage costumes.[115] After his appearance at Prada's SS26 show at Milan Fashion Week in May 2025, he was named the week's 5th top influencer for generating an Earned Media Value (EMV) of $2.19 million.[116]
