EXO's KAI - Film : Kai - UK K-Pop Fans Reaction

[@EXOsNoona]

I saw him perform Reason in London a few years ago and he danced so hard that he ripped a hole into the crotch of his trousers! He had to go backstage and change 😂 he is well known for dancing too hard and damaging his stage clothes 😭💕 I love Nini so much!

[@stasyacat1976]

Kai is an art. His debut album is a masterpiece and I was absolutely mesmerized by FILM: KAI. I watched it a countless times and it still slaps me every single time

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

Thank you, guys, for the reaction to this masterpiece! Kai was the first ever in kpop and maybe second in the world to introduce this type of films to tease the album, on such a grand scale, with separate stories and sets and choreos... Nobody does it like him. Kai actually put his own money into his solo debut, so you can see how much bigger the budget is for his MV and Film, what SMEnt had allocated wasn't enough to express all his ideas and it's the first thing Kai seeks in his craft - self expression. Gucci gave Kai the wardrobe and even sent food catering service to the filming sets to pamper their favorite boy. Actually the stories have a common line: the whole film is Kai's story and at the same time the cycle he goes through before each performance: first he's alone, practicing, contemplating, doubting his talent; then he performs in public but nobody pays attention and so on. It all ends with Kai on stage performing in the center with 8 other men surrounding him (as he's the Center of the group). Kai's a natural baritone but he's trained to sing as a tenor as kpop favors tenors only, baritones are rappers... And it's so sad, when Kai sings in his natural register it's so strong and deep, his voice would sound much more powerful if he sang with his real voice.

Reason only has a dance practice, a great one by the way. I wanted to recommend it last time but for some reason I thought you'd already seen it 🐸

[@darmentrout]

The dance practice for REASON is amazing! Thank you for all the happiness I get from watching your videos! FROG! 😊😊

[@Vanessa-df3st]

More Kai Film please

[@dd-mc5yg]

[@alunarity]

YESSS!!! thank you for reacting to this, kai's films are absolute ART, please react to the rover one too! 🐸

[@azzue2695]

Kai's first album is a no skip for me..love it so much

[@nymmechannel3446]

Now, you watched Kai Film, you should watch Kai Prologue (for Peaches mini album) and the Kai film 2 for Rover. It's a must- watch!

[@Wishouse]

This album "KAI" will always be my favorite. I still listen to all the songs. No skip for me.

[@lellyluv302]

Yes mine too 🥰

[@dd-mc5yg]

My favorites are all of Kai's albums 🥰

[@giselacruzat4875]

This album is art, Kai is so talented, so much creativity and work behind these films his choreographies and scenarios, his voice and magnetism 😍 he's back!! soon little bear you will be missed a lot on stage🥹💕

[@집착광곰]

I've been waiting for this. I also need the next one. Now watch Film:kai Rover.

[@dd-mc5yg]

[@zattara4802]

Thank you for this reaction! Kai made 3 amazing albums. Please react to Film:Rover. It’s visual ecstasy.

[@dd-mc5yg]

[@DewdewDC]

Now you'll have to see the behind the scenes to find out how they did it! Nothing on Me and Sinner (from Rover) are two of my all time favourite songs. Reason has a few performances to choose from and Kai is always good, it almost comes down to which outfit you like best! Ribbit.

[@milindawilson9175]

Kai's "Film: Kai," as you discovered, is a sort of teaser/sample of all the songs on Kai's solo self-titled debut album Kai, which came out at the end of 2020. Fun fact: Highlight medleys for SM artist's solo albums first became a thing with SHINee member Taemin's "Press It highlight melody" video in 2016, which was a video showing Taemin performing a snippet of every song on his Press It album. (Like everything SHINee does, Taemin was the first to promote his album giving people a sample of every song on the album, kicking off a trend.) You could also say it's similar to NCT's track videos that they have been releasing with their albums more recently. Kai had a hand in writing and composing all of these songs and he spent more than a year working on the album, which he did all while also promoting nonstop as a member of EXO and SuperM. He actually put his own money into this project to increase the budget in order to make sure the quality met his expectations. The mini album contains 6 tracks and, as you just heard, each song is expertly designed to reflect Kai's style as an artist. As you have seen, there is only an MV for "Mmmh," the rest of these songs are B-side tracks so they don't have MVs. That is why you don't see any performance for "Mmmh" because they want you to watch the MV. If you want to see and hear the full versions of some of these other songs, you should look up some of his live performances. As part of his promotions for his album he has also performed several of these songs, such as "Mmmh", "Reason" and "Ride or Die," live. Plus, he also has dance practice videos for "Reason" and "Mmmh". Yet again, what you see in some of the scenes in this video, is Kai teleporting. If you analyze all the scenes within Kai's film you would find connections can be made to EXO's storyline and things to do with past EXO MVs and probably even future MVs, as well as SuperM's storyline. For example, the scenes during Kai's "Amnesia" snippet and as it transitions to "Mmmh" are probably part of SM's train theme, which connects a majority of its artists to the whole SM Universe. The train we see Kai standing in front of could possibly be the train that Baekhyun is on in his solo "Bambi" MV. And the subway train platform we see during "Mmmh" could be connected to SuperM's "100" MV storyline, SHINee's "Don't Call Me" MV storyline, aespa's "Black Mamba" MV storyline and SHINee Key's solo debut "One of Those Nights" MV storyline, as well as EXO's "Love Me Right" MV storyline and EXO-CBX's "Horololo" MV storyline, etc. Plus, as mentioned before, as part of EXO's story, it is thought that the members are traveling between dimensions and time periods throughout history in their quest to find the Tree of Life and to fix all the evil and corruption that is thought to be caused by the Red Force. So, similar to his "Mmmh" MV, it is thought that what you see in this video is Kai traveling between dimensions and across time periods in his search for the other members and the Tree of Life, etc. That is why you see him in so many different locations and scenes in this film. There is also a fan theory that the reason why we see Kai with so many different looks and styles in these scenes is because it's not always Kai that we are seeing. As you may remember, another part of EXO's storyline is that some of the members have evil alter ego clones that have been created by the Red Force, which were introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV. So, some theories think that sometimes we are seeing Kai's evil X-EXO clone and other times we are seeing superhero, good EXO Kai. Also notice how the lights during "Ride or Die" made EXO's Hexagon symbol.

[@pamelafaerye7941]

🐸🐸🐸 I'd never seen this before. KAI is ART. Just beautiful in so many dimensions. ... And I can totally see a Kpop vow renewal wedding!

[@_dont_mind_me]

Kai is in fact a baritone, alongside Chanyeol and Sehun. The rest of exo are tenors. Altos apply to women only, it’s the lower voice type for women and therefore higher than a tenor. 8:39 there’s a dance practice!! 13:28 I was never the same after this

[@lululemonbar]

Kai isn't a baritone, he's a s clear tenor

[@_dont_mind_me]

@@lululemonbar he’s not a tenor he just has to sing higher parts occasionally because Exo’s songs are written for the tenors

[@lululemonbar]

​@@_dont_mind_mehe's a tenor... A baritone doesn't sound like that

[@Alexandra_Indina]

Well, actually, Sehun is BASS. Technically.

[@Alexandra_Indina]

@@lululemonbar Nowhere on Earth Kai is a tenor. He is clearly a baritone.

[@uminsomuchtome]

Kai played a huge part in every aspect of this album and it really shines through. And yes his albums have no skips, it’s amazing! His rover album has a film as well that you should definitely check out! ❤ And here you go 🐸

[@mochimochi82]

This is my favorite of Kai’s albums. Amnesia is my favorite track. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, or the whole album for that matter. Or watched this video. A few notes/observations by track: The Kai projected onto the smoke in the first song (Hello Stranger) is the Kai from the last song (Ride or Die). The woman dancing in Reason is the choreographer Bada Lee, who works with Kai often (and is my female bias in kpop even though she’s not an idol). I think at least part of Mmmh is in Berlin. In Nothing on Me, you can see the woman at a distance in the two tilted ‘mirrors’ at the very beginning. And last but not least, it is a crime that there’s not a full performance video for Ride or Die.

[@myk785]

Kai's creativity is one of my favorite things about him. Probably because of his father, he views everything in an artist bent.

[@Ela.z]

Yesss (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ Film Kai is amazing, I’m looking forward to your reaction to his rover one and the highlight of peaches album that showcased the Vanilla which I LOVE ~ And the Rover film kai has a dance practice that is so good to watch ~ Thanks for the Exo reaction ~♡︎

[@zattara4802]

Vanilla is amazing in live version ❤

[@lellyluv302]

Oh yes, I saw Vanilla live & he is just as amazing IRL ❤

[@M-de-Vale]

I’ve seen the Monalisa in the Louvre. Film: Kai belongs right next to it. This whole album is great. Reason has a live performance video on NOW, and he performed it in his online concert (pandemic era) and also in festivals. There is a dance practice, the choreo is sick! He has a lot of behind the scenes content for this album where you can see how much he is involved in it. He really has such a great sense of fashion. He was not satisfied with the budget from SM and he really wanted his vision to come to life, so he put his own money into this. Kai is art 🖼️

[@Kai-gom88]

🐸ribbit.....plz more kai

[@uminsomuchtome]

This performance film is the height of his artistry, performance and musicality! I feel enamoured every time I watch it ❤ I can watch it on loop forever!

[@lilrigbo5769]

reason (which is the second one) has a dance practice and a few live stages no mv though as far as im aware

[@dd-mc5yg]

#KAI 🔥🔥❤️❤️

[@thanoojasamad2173]

Kai❤❤❤❤

[@linali4927]

Скучаю по Каю 💔

[@bruhlognasandwich7584]

I’ve been waiting for this reaction!! This is such as phenomenal album, like truly no skips,, my favorite on this album (and my favorite Kai song altogether actually) is ride or die with amnesia being a close second❤ Kai really is transcendent as you like to call him…also 🐸…

[@ninakollarova4021]

Hi, love the videos, KAI is my bias in EXO, lovely to see you enjoy his stuff BTW: 🐸 ;)

[@tugudu]

Thank you so much. You should listen his last album it is called rover.. ahh that album is awesome as well ❤

[@dd-mc5yg]

All of Kai's albums are Masterpieces🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍

[@lellyluv302]

Kai IS art! His Films are just beautiful - the dance, the fashion, the videography, the music & Kai himself. He also has one for the Rover album too. Personally I think this is still my favourite album (although I adore the whole Peaches album too) & Reason probably is my fav track, which also has a great dance practice too. 🐸🐸🐸 we are along for all the chaos 😅

[@Kai-gom88]

Finally, 😂 plz more kai reactions. Like the other film kai, and his fancams. Also he has a lean on me episode❤

[@mapalomukupa6459]

Oh yay! I've been waiting for this

[@katieahn4018]

I started call him an ART from Film

[@EB-J61]

May God do you as He knows. As a vocal range, soprano and alto refer to high and low voices for women. Baritone is used for the low male voice and tenor is used for the high male voice. Exo is a vocal group, so it is a group with a tenor voice. However, since their vocal range is generally wide, they also use romantic baritone voices. This means mid range. Although Chanyeol and Sehun, who rap, use baritone voices more, they can also reflect treble voices quite well. This means our Kai is a romantic baritone close to a little tenor. (He's at his most tenor when he's laughing, hahaha. Moreover, he can start laughing from a baritone range to tenor or even soprano, which is the female voice range. Oh my source of joy.) Also, behind the scenes of Film Kai, during the shooting of Nothing On Me, they placed a huge mirror in a vacant land.

[@woodstock8d]

Next ➡️ - REASON dance practice (the song which u hope to have a video) - MMMH dance practice - FILM : KAI ROVER

[@lellyluv302]

Yep 👍🏻 I second this!!

[@Ming3484]

😂If I had a dollar everytime y'all got distracted while commenting, I would be able to afford the plane ticket to S Korea and also be able to pay for my hotel as well as food and entertainment while there. Lol😂 Ialready liked Kai's dance and vocals, but this made me fall in love even more. I'm sure other artists before had done a mini mv with snippets from their album but Kai's was the first time I saw something like this. Can't wait till y'all check out the other Kai Films. On another note, as it's 1:30 a.m, it is officially my birthday and I am one year older. I've decided I'll stay this age from now on😭😭😭 At least it fell on a Mamamoo Monday so I will be smiling seeing y'alls reaction.

[@livialcardoso]

thank you so much for reacting to this and yes, finally!!!! I would also be down for a patreon live stream reacting to this album, I would be SOOOO happy to hear Simon's reaction to all the instruments and arranges in depth aaaargh I am such a nerd lol (also I may probably be one out of the 5 Simon biases on discord ahahahaah) And yes I think this is CGI on the nothing on me part. All about this video is just ART. Kai is ART. period. I hope youget to the Rover and Peaches Film, cause they all are like this: MUSEUM WORTHY ART. also: *frog emoji* am I officially in the friend group already? hahahahah

[@lilackpop]

Esse film Kai é o meu favorito! Eu amo muito esse álbum ❤

[@Vanessa-df3st]

Please the behinde the scenes from the Films

[@mira-1485]

Loved it😍 I loved the pictures of my kids in the background there. Ooooh, I've been waiting to see them there since EXO's first video

[@ssharkbait]

To answer your question about the mirror portion it is green screen. He filmed on set with the dancer and they just added the mirror effect later in post.

[@andypekas]

Haha frog! I always stay at the very end!!! It also helps with the views... I think. Btw Baekhyun also has weird fingers that bend to wierd angles haha. Also you should react to Reason dance practice!!!

[@holundera]

frog!🐸thank you as always for your reactions! :D

[@havok97818]

There isn’t an MV for Reason, but there is a dance practice and performance stages.

[@eleonorestuart4089]

This album is the first Kpop album i purchased❤

[@hannhan2409]

8:55 Ha! I got that. Well done. That was very quick.

[@kaydence3843]

I think they purposely put not as much for mmmh because it’s the only one there that had a mv so they didn’t want to spoil anyone.

[@rosaaquino1888]
