Yikes First Video Lol. Hope I didn't do too bad on my first try. I forgot to mention it but I peeped the whole ballerina situation but I am still have absolutely no idea where it was all going. But I still had fun nonetheless. Also, someone please tell me about the whole multiple names/"Rover" situation cause I thought I got it but who knows. Let me know if I should be reacting to anything else from Kai!
A lot of the idea/concept/imagery of the MV pulls from two of Kai's favorite movies: - Catch Me If You Can - Billy Elliot Some of the names come from those movies^.^ There's a cute video where Kai reacts to the MV along with his members from EXO~~~
Kai from Exo❤ In this MV Kai's a spy under cover and comes to the barber shop to change identity and fit the image in the picture of the id. And then somebody destroyed the barber shop and Kai has to make his own id on a blank id form (which we see him DIY at the beginning of MV) and now he can can choose himself the name and image, not the readymade photo. Oh and the ballet sequences as Kai was a trained ballet dancer before become an idol. Please, react to FILM : KAI #Rover, mv Mmmh and Peaches. I also advise you to Exo mv Monster, love shot, obsession.
Kai is in the group Exo. This is his solo piece. Exo they are the most versatile group in kpop Kai's love for dance started with jazz and ballet. From a young age, he began training to become a ballet dancer. So he learned form and technique first before any other style of dance. This man is not your average kpop star, he’s THE idol of idols. KAI is one of the most talented kpop stars there are in the industry. You should definitely check out the Kai FILMs. There are two of them where it is basically little snippets of each song off his albums (first and third) with each their own choreo and visuals, really amazing pieces of art and his "Peaches Prologue" Film.
Kai's "Rover" lyrics and MV can be interpreted in two ways. One way is that the song talks about Kim JongIn (Kai is his stage name), his life and who he is as an artist and person. The other interpretation I think is meant to tell his EXO character Kai's story and continue EXO's storyline. To understand what is happening in Kai's "Rover" MV, you have to keep in mind EXO's storyline and concept. As a member of an SM group, for anyone who knows SM, it's no surprise that Kai is such a great singer and performer. You can't be an SM artist without having superior vocals and dance skills. All of SM's artists were first chosen for their visuals, vocals and/or dance skills, and even the rappers get hyper focused training as vocalists. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. And EXO are a great example of that. One of the reasons why "Rover" was chosen for Kai's title song is because the concept of the song and MV was designed with Kai's storyline in mind. To understand why Kai is Mr. Rover, you have to keep in mind that Kai's superpower in EXO is the ability to teleport, which is why in the "Rover" MV we see him blink in and out of scenes and at the end he disappears as he dives off the stage, etc. The MV is literally showing how he is Mr. Rover -- a rover is someone who roams, travels, wanders all over the place. Kim JongIn was given the stage name Kai because it means opening in Chinese and he is supposed to be the one who opens the doors and travels between time and space and dimensions, etc. to connect all the EXO/SuperM members together, which is why his superpower is teleportation. If you notice, at one point in the MV we see Kai's face is bruised up and it looks like he might have been in a fight. Because Kai can teleport and appear at any time and place he wants to, the fight in which he was injured could have happened at any time or place. it doesn't necessarily mean it took place at that exact moment in the "Rover" MV, and it may not even have anything to do with the storyline of "Rover" specifically. For all we know, he is appearing in "Rover" after traveling from another place within EXO's storyline. The fight may have happened in a different location, time or dimension, and it's even thought that EXO -- or specifically Kai -- can time travel to different times and places throughout history. It's probably another one of those scenes that is meant to create connections in EXO's storyline and reference something that has happened, or will happen in the future, in their other MVs. In "Rover" we also see him taking on different identities. It depicts the different identities or sides of his personality -- Kai the sexy, over confident on stage personality -- powerful hip-hop dancer -- or Kim JongIn the elegant, ballet dancer, etc. As the main dancer of EXO, Kai is literally one of the top two best dancers in Kpop. And that's not just a fan's opinion, but it's a title given to him by his peers and the the industry as a whole. (Taemin from SHINee -- who happens to be Kai's best friend since trainee days, and is a fellow member of SuperM -- is the other top dancer.) There is literally no one better when it comes to dance in the world of Kpop than Kai and Taemin. Kai's love for dance started with jazz and ballet. From a young age, he began training to become a ballet dancer. So he learned form and technique first before any other style of dance. That's why I think you can see such precision in his dancing. As a child, he fell in love with dancing after seeing the Nutcracker and he told his parents that he wanted to do that. So, his whole foundation with dance began with ballet. He says, that if he hadn't been bribed by his father to audition for SM Entertainment, and if he hadn't become a Kpop star, he probably would be a professional ballarino today. Kai became a trainee with SM when he was about 12 -- he debuted as a member of EXO when he was around 18 -- so he has been honing his skills and dedicating himself to become one of the best in the industry for years. And now, at 29, he has literally been recognized as one of the best of the best. Also as a member of EXO, as part of their storyline, it is thought that the EXO members are supposed to be going about their tasks incognito, which means that in order to keep a low profile Kai probably needs to take on many different identities as he travels across time and space, through different points in history or to different dimensions, etc. Therefore, every time we see Kai change his look in the MV it's probably showing that he is teleporting to that same location from a new time period or location in history on his quest to find the EXO members and stop the Red Force, etc. He keeps coming back to that same location because he needs that woman, or whomever she works for, to change his identity and to get new documents, etc. To the average person this looks like just a regular theater where plays, concerts and events take place, but there is probably something else that is going on behind the scenes. And the barbershop he keeps going to probably doubles as an undercover agency that is helping Kai in his mission to take down the Red Force. (In spy movies you often see little mom and pop-type businesses, such as barbershops, that look innocent from the outside, but it really doubles as a front for something else.) Fun fact: If you pay attention to some of the names he chooses for his aliases in this MV, one of the names is Elliot Billy, which is pretty clearly a reference to the well known ballet movie Billy Elliot, which Kai has said influenced his love of ballet. And of course, the red light is most likely supposed to represent something to do with the Red Force, which is the evil being or group in EXO's storyline who the EXO members are fighting against. Therefore, it is thought either, Kai is being controlled by the Red Force in those scenes, or maybe this whole MV is depicting X-EXO Kai, which is Kai's alter ego clone that has been created by the Red Force. Also keep in mind, that in EXO's concept blue is supposed to represent EXO as a way to distinguish between EXO and X-EXO. Things that are blue are thought to symbolize EXO or show when EXO has the upper hand. Therefore, in the scenes where you see blue this could be showing the EXO version of Kai. And in the scenes where we see blue and red together, or purple colors -- blue and red mixed together make purple -- this could be showing how EXO and X-EXO, or EXO and the Red Force, are battling for control or are in conflict, etc. Yet again, just another example of how EXO's and SM's Universe is extremely complicated and complex. The thing is, none of us really know exactly what is happening in the story, it's all just fan theories and educated guesses. SM has never confirmed or denied any of our theories and they have left it completely up to fans to figure out what is happening and to create the story. (We only hope that someday SM will release the book or produce a movie that will explain the whole story, so we will know whether any part of our theories were correct.) "Rover" is the title track on Kai's third mini album. There are 6 songs on this album. Kai's "Rover" is actually a remix and I think the style can be considered reggaeton based, which is a music genre with reggae and Puerto Rican/Latin influences. If you want a sample of the other songs on this album check out his "Film: Kai #Rover," which, like his previous two albums, is a sample of all the songs on his Rover album. "(In his Rover film you will see other scenes where he looks like he has been in a fight, which could possibly be connected to his "Rover" storyline.) Kai is a fashion icon and he is highly sought after by some of he biggest names and brands in fashion to be their model and brand ambassador, etc. Kai had a hand in styling this whole MV. Therefore, I'm sure that everything he wore was expertly selected from some of the top fashion brands. And the MV was specifically styled to represent his designer model status. As you can see, he is also considered one of the sexiest Kpop idols, and he is known for his super sexy onstage personality, which is why you often see him shirtless or wearing crop tops when he is performing. However, if you really get to know him, you will see that when not on stage he is almost the complete opposite of what you see here. He is actually soft spoken, cutely innocent and pretty shy in real life.
Thank you so much for all of your thoughtful and elaborate comments it really is amazing to read! I really appreciate the time you took to write them it is really helpful ❤️
back watching to your first video. congratulations for opening your own channel. Kai is a member of Exo and his power in the group's concept is teleportation. In this MV he has multiple identities for doing his mission. Once his location is identified by the enemy he has to leave and create a new identity again. Kinda hard to explain coz it is linked to his group's concept of being persued for their powers by the red force. Thanks for the react.
I noticed the amount of books from your Cream Soda reaction, hope to see your manga collection as well. also the amount of courage to start a reaction channel.. you're doing great!! Kai is in the military rn, Rover was his last solo before he enlisted and it was an amazing era. The album has very good pieces too
the story is kai is spy，try on different lifestyle. one of his id card name is Billy Elliot. Billy is performer and kai lost in character and fall in love with this lifestyle，just like DiCaprio in the movie catch me if you can. there is a another movie called Billy Elliot, a little boy who like ballet and that change his life. Kai himself danced ballet since he was 8 years old, he was planing to join a ballet school, but his dad tell him if pass the audition for sm entertainment, he will get a Nintendo, so he join the the biggest kpop company at that time and became a global star.😂 This is his solo mv, which don’t really have to connect to exo concept, his solo concept is like, he is a godlike figure. KAI is everywhere, in the 1st Mmmh mv, there is Teleportation, his super power for 12 years 😂 KAI is everything, from example he is a peach or cloud in Peaches mv (Kai’s 2nd solo song) Kai is everyone，this ROVER mv is his 3rd title track🎉🎉 sorry，i‘m not used to type in English，but I like the way you talk in the beginning of this video，i just hope you can like him and i will be able to get more video of you react to my fave🫶
I found your channel today with a TH-cam recommendation for Taemin reaction. I watched a few more of your reactions and I'm enjoying your content. I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself. KPOP is so addicting and there is so much content. Starting with Kai set the bar high. I subscribed to support your journey.

I forgot to mention it but I peeped the whole ballerina situation but I am still have absolutely no idea where it was all going. But I still had fun nonetheless. Also, someone please tell me about the whole multiple names/"Rover" situation cause I thought I got it but who knows.

A lot of the idea/concept/imagery of the MV pulls from two of Kai's favorite movies:
- Catch Me If You Can
- Billy Elliot
Some of the names come from those movies^.^

I also advise you to Exo mv Monster, love shot, obsession.
Thank you! I was literally so confused. I appreciate the breakdown! Thank you for the recommendations. I will definitely be reacting to them!❤
The concept for this song is basically Catch Me If You Can, with him changing identities at new places.
Love it! Kai is a member of EXO. Hope you’ll watch his film for rover. It’s snippets of the songs in this album.
❤ I definitely will be!
Rover era was grand... ❤❤❤
