“First Idol To Do Promotion At This Level”: WayV’s Kun Gains Attention For The Most Creative And “Extreme” Comeback Promotion
WayV‘s Kun has often been praised for being an exemplary leader. And for being a man of many, many talents.
In addition to being an amazing singer, dancer, and producer, Kun is also an excellent cook, a photographer, a magician, and, perhaps most impressively, a certified pilot (who was praised for his piloting skills before he was even certified).
And as if that wasn’t enough, Kun is also a big fan of skydiving, which he got a certification for as well.

It should come as no surprise, then, that with so many varied skills and talents, Kun would prove to have the most creative (and extreme) idea to promote his group’s latest comeback, Phantom.
In a social media update on January 16, Kun once again gave fans a look at his skydiving hobby.
Except, as he explained in his Weibo account, it turns out it was also his attempt to combine skydiving with his job as a member of WayV! The result was one of the most impressive album promotions ever.
Fans were left absolutely shook…
And this, everyone, is how you promote your comeback… 🪂 pic.twitter.com/xetc3TaS2U

Of course, there were some golden comments about who the promotion was aimed at…
“who is kun promoting to? the birds?”

But not everyone was completely surprised that he had done it. Knowing Kun all too well, fans had actually already inadvertently predicted that he would do this back in December 2022.

idk if this makes sense but seriously it's so epic how wayv has a leader who actually loves, lives, and breathes the actual group's core concept of flying in the skies and materializing one's vision pic.twitter.com/HV2jkHXpT2

In fact, having felt disappointment over SM Entertainment‘s promotional efforts for WayV’s Phantom comeback, fans have been calling the company out for “falling behind” Kun in that regard.

Ultimately, if there’s one thing that’s been made clear, it’s that Kun is truly one of the best leaders and that no one is doing it like him!
NO ONE DOES IT LIKE QIAN KUN pic.twitter.com/S4QvjXgIVu
