EXO’s Kai Takes Special Pictures During His Fan Meeting, And Fans Are Emotional At His Reasoning

EXO‘s Kai just held his fan meeting before his military enlistment on May 11.

During his recent live stream, Kai promised that he would “blackmail” or “drag” SM Entertainment by the neck to ensure that he was able to meet with fans before his enlistment.

And regarding a chance to see each other, […] I have to blackmail them or drag them by the neck, I’ll make it happen no matter what it takes, so we’ll see each other then.

— Kai

And Kai succeeded, holding his fan meeting on May 9, showing his incredible gratitude for his fans’ unwavering support.

But fans were especially endeared by one set of pictures Kai took just for himself, photographing his fans to be able to look at the pictures during his enlistment and “gain energy.”

Kai even encouraged his fans to do different poses that idols often do for their fans.

First off, do teddy bear ears.

— Kai

He even teased fans, letting them know they had to be posing because they’d “never know where [he] will zoom in to.”

The livestream showed how eagerly fans were following Kai’s directions to give him the best possible pictures to look back on.

Fans felt incredibly emotional at Kai’s actions.

when he said that he will study those pics and remember the fans faces so once he comes back he will make sure each one of them is in the crowd again :( https://t.co/BJcgkSbpE3
