Kai’s someone you look at and think “I bet he smell goood.”
he does smell so damn good😭😭i read how one of the fans met jongin in the restaurant with taemin and rain and even after jongin left his scent was still there and it she said it was super lovely🤧
My fav solo album! 🔥. I still listen to this almost every day.
Sir Austin is here yeahhhhh
Yess
MY KING
yes! me too, i play it every day, it's sooo good 😭
Hi sir Austin
I don't have friends who listen to kpop so this feels like listening to music with a friend
@@TheNauglafel we're all friends listening to music together here 💜
yeah that's why I'm a fan of reaction videos
I feel like that to :)
facts right
Yes, i can relate
the ending of amnesia is interesting because jongin pronounced "Oh i need you" as if its "wo ai ni" which means "i love you" in chinese. not only that, jongin used the chinese character of his name as his self-titled album. also, i think the idea of amnesia being repetitive is probably to fit the concept of the song and the lyrics which i think is so genius and clever because it gives it a whole new purpose
The album hasn't aged a day. I'm so excited for his next project.
AMNESIA 🤝🏼 RUNAWAY SIT AT THE SAME TABLE AND NO ONE CAN SPEAK ANYTHING ON JONGIN'S VOCAL JUST LISTEN
Same girl omg yes to the yes I have both songs along with oasis what is love black pearl nothing on me in the same playlist and nothing else nothing can compare to the feeling this songs give can't describe the longing the freedom the anticipation the nostalgia absolutely magnificent the ultimate masterpieces
YOU JUST SPILLED FACTS
kai is also preparing for another solo album Yeeeey can't wait! and yeees that's his voice it is really great, he becomes nasally when he goes higher by the way! i love his voice a lot his tone is very unique
Kai's vocals were so underappreciated but I love how he's giving amazing songs with purely his vocals
Both Mmmh and Reason has a dance practice. The choreo of Reason is really good
Hare are links to:
a dance practice:: th-cam.com/video/TpO4r0mL8ac/w-d-xo.html
and a LIVE stage: th-cam.com/video/5CpoIoTKBI4/w-d-xo.html
im ashamed but i learned that kai could sing this well with this album, i feel like in exo songs we very rarely hear him (maybe i haven't listened to enough b-sides) and i feel like sm is pushing the visual/dancer side a lot more and i was shook when it came out, i love every song on this album 🌸
Girl i feel you! Getting into exo i knew Kai was a dancer but watching his FILM + Mmmh I was floored and he absolutely smashed it in the DFTF album. His voice is truly a hidden gem in the group and I’m so glad he could come out with this to showcase that he’s much more than his dancing. 💕💕
In Promise and Forever he shows his vocals c:
I think Kai himself was also more comfortable being the main dancer at the beginning. It's what he trained in since childhood. And I feel like dancers don't get the wide appreciation that main vocals do, it's a less understood art form. And even if you have a lovely voice, which Kai does (so does Sehun btw), imagine being in a group with D.O. or Chen or Baekhyun.... you'd feel shy about your vocals too. And then imagine being Baekhyun or Chen and only training for like 6 months before standing next to a dancer like Kai...
But just like Chanyeol or Chen or whoever, who were very confident in music but not as much in the dancing and have gotten better and better, EXO members who didn't start out with a deep background in vocal performance have become more and more confident as singers over the years.
And I think that is beautiful
Seeing all these comments make me cry
It’s true! Everyone saw him as a dancer and visual and ever since he dropped his solo debut album everyone’s talking about him
And I’m so glad that he got show his sexy vocals in the DFTF album as well.
He has such a great voice
He deserves all the praise
I love him!
✨kai did his thing with this and thats a fact✨ love him
In EXO he has a unique voice, that’s why I love him and his charismatic way♥️♥️♥️
girl you HAVE to react to kai's dance practices to mmmh and reason... you will not be disappointed :)
Is there anything my man can't do. Kai is pure art, he is perfection ❤️
Something that SM has done very well has been to give right on the spot with the essence of each EXO member in their solo discographies. Each solo album is an extension of each member’s tastes and preferences in EXO.
With JongIn was no exception; hip-hop as Reason, something more classic/artistic as Nothing On Me, R&B (can not miss if we talk about EXO). And finally, our JongIn was able to show how much he advanced with his singing, having one of the most interesting and rare voices in the Kpop.
This album is a mirror of what JongIn is as an artist. This is Kai, his name honors him.
HELLO STRANGER IS YOUR FAVOURITE TOO?? THE WAY YOUR FAVES ARE MINE LIKE FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS ME 😭
Kai has a unique voice in kpop. Not commonly kpop voice but haunting. He sings like he dances... Very personal, masculine and often husky. It's not a "put on" vocal but raw and honest. It can only get better as he continues on his journey. Can't wait for his next albun
Omg I love your comment !! So true!
wow this is a beautiful description of his voice and why it’s so captivating i agree
@@adrianmars2603 😊
@@kavishkarodrigo 😊
Yess we love king kai ❤❤
FACTS!!
Ride or Die track as soon as I heard it reminded me of Tears for Fears but upgraded to modern. PERFECTION
Kai has “reason” dance practice and live performance... and you can freaking out with the choreooo ;))
thankyouu for loving kai.. me too love him so muchh!!
i think ride or die is definitely 80s synth/pop. it’s really pretty! it’s one of my faves. i also can’t wait for his album
I actually listened to this album after I saw your reaction to kai - film, I've always loved Exo but never looked into their solo stuff but I absolutely fell in love with kai's voice all over again and I loved this album so much. Thank you for being a good influence, Cait.
Literally my favorite yotuber right now, I absolutely loved Kai's album, his song Mmmh and this album were my introduction to kpop a few months ago, and I can't think of a better way to have fallen into this hole 😂 still listen to the whole album every time one song plays 😂🔥🙏🏻
Masterpiece!! I'm so proud of him. He out did himself for his first solo debut.
Only EXO has a main dancer for 8 years suddenly being a main vocalist! Mic, drop! Panties, drop! What else can be dropped? 😆 This album is a MASTERPIECE! 😊
Kai saved 2020 with his vocals! 😁
This entire album is telling a story, it gives you all the feels, and puts you it all types of moods. Hands down Ride or Die is my favorite off this album. The synth-pop is so 80's-90's but feels so fresh and new.
I think one of the best things about the members enlisting in waves is that it gives all of the members the spotlight to shine. So lead vocalist can now shine and show how strong they really are since the main vocalist are gone.
Thats probably why I love it so much. 80's Synth pop is my go to music along with kpop.
Reason has a performance! 👀👀
YT notif is late I've been waiting for this. 😁 Let's goooo
Hehehehe yasss! Let’s get it!
I really think that despite not being the main vocal, Kai has the most unique voice in exo in terms of sound. It’s so rich and nasally and forward.
I have been a fan since their debut and I was awed by his dancing in Mama that made him my ult bias. When XOXO album was released and I heard the song Don't go where he just had a few lines, I fell in love deeper with this man with a honey voice. Most people are attracted by his sexiness but whenever I look at him, I just see an adorable shy baby bear. Hugs to all Erigoms out there. I love you all!
caitlin said that she can’t imagine the choreography for Reason HAHAHAH GURL U MIGHT GET NOSEBLEEDS WATCHING THE DANCE PRACTICE! 😂
this album's a masterpiece i literally teared up when i heard it
EXO choruses repeat a lot, you noticed it in Love Shot too, but their magic is that they always change up the instrumental and they always, ALWAYS add the fun, or jaw dropping adlibs in the background, so it doesn't get boring. Kai's vocal has really grown on me, and I love his distinct tone. You are correct, he really put his whole heart and soul into this album, and it paid off! I think the song style for Ride or Die is called Synthwave or Retro Electric (popular in the 80's). Here's a link to a clip of similar sounds: th-cam.com/video/0QKQlf8r7ls/w-d-xo.html
This album just hit so differently. It’s been months and any time one of these songs come on shuffle it’s never skipped. NEVER.
a masterpiece!!! wild how fresh this album still feels months later. kai really did his thing.
can't wait to watch your reaction to exo's EXO'rDIUM White noise+ Thunder + Playboy + Artificial Love live i'm sure you gonna love it please please 💞😍😘
The day that he released his EP was the day of my death. The whole album is a masterpiece. The tracks, my gosh! And it always on repeat. Btw, my fave track is also Hello stranger.
YAAASSSSSS to KING KAI 🤴❤️
Yaaasss Kai, this album is so good. ❤️
Kai is my obsession..everything he does is perfect .. as a person it is a delight ..I adore him ..in fact I adore Exo in general but Kai is special because of him I met Exo and for a year every day I dedicate two or three hours to me I look at everything about them
kai fancams reaction marathon juseyooo! 🤣

You definitely have to check out the dance practice and live performances of Reason... Kai and all his dancers do such an amazing job and the choreo is just.... it hits :D
Just remember the day that this masterpiece released.
literally one of those rare albums where you look forward to listening each and every song without a skip!
Thank you for sharing your reaction Caitlin ^^
I love this album so much it's really nice to see someone enjoying and appreciating it💕. My favorite song is also hello stranger, but like u said it's a no skip album💖His voice is a blessing to the ears. Can't remember how many times I already played this album xD We need MORE
(also the album and photobook are beautiful 👌✨)
I was waiting for this!! Thank you so much ♡ it makes me so happy when Jongin is apreciated for his voice. Baby boy indeed.
Ps. Your reactions doing me company all week 🙏🏻
You made my day...I was so stressed n wanted to listen to exo but came across this video...
Thank u sister. U made me smile like crazy ❤️.
Btwn love love love ur content. Ur so genuine without any biasing.
Keep rocking sis ❤️😉
I’ve been a fan for years and I’ve always loved his voice. I feel so vindicated after listening to this album.
Fastest click ive ever made caitlin❤️❤️❤️
Yayyyyyyy! 🥰
This whole album is so good. Not one bad song. I listened to it on repeat for weeks after it came out.
Loved this album so damn much on repeat
My álbum favorite..
luv you gurl!!💛 thank you for reacting to kai's 1st mini album 😚 God bless you~
This album is making me feel some type of way and OOOOOH GURL it is really fun to watch a Baby Exo-L reacting to Exo. You should check out their other content cuz their discography is LIT
Yes,in Erigom world his our baby boy...hahaha
Thank u for the KaiSoo reaction today💕
I SMILING SO MUCH MY MOUTH HURTS LOL IM SO PROUD OF MY BOY!
I love his mini album so much. He did a great job curating the songs and the film and videos. So happy for his success.
This was literally the best solo album of 2020 along with Taemins albums👏🏼🤩 it’s a no skip album and I still listen to the songs on a daily basis❤️
this album is a whole MASTERPIECE
I also think that kpop focuses tons more on tenors as such which is a pity coz just in EXO, we've Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun who have such great texture/rasp and tonality in their voices.
And yes since EXO's main "main vocal line" is so fcking strong, their voices often are underappreciated or just put under the "rapper" tag! I really hope we can hear more baritones in mainstream kpop..
The whole album is a masterpiece but Ride Or Die is just impeccable 🤌
Y'all I stan Caitlin**
Omg 😭😭😭 stop lmao I’m literally a mess
His voice is amazing and I'm so happy that he could show it off as much in this album because in EXO songs he didn't get as many lines to give it justice. Reason and Hello Stranger are my favorite ones in the album, but then again I never skip any EXO songs so XD
KAI Killed it he literally killed it
Without surpassing, this album 9 months after debut, is a masterpiece and it is getting better and better to listen to it, it feels fresh. his voice is so special and distinguishes between voices when he is with his group. he has a unique, smooth, melozo vocal range. he was hiding kai, he was never given the opportunity, only lines or chorus, but the incredible thing that in the chorus, there is his voice shining. it is my favorite album. Thank you.
gorll you better watch mmmh and reason dance practise , i love yourr reactionssssss
15:06 Reason has a dance practice actually
Even the main dancer in EXO can SING.... like really SING guys...with RnB style on top of it... Super talented... Now Waiting for D.O 1st solo album.. Pre-order now!!
Oh also Caitlin, Chanyeol released a movie called "THE BOX" and the movie has so many tracks where he covers songs like Sky full of stars, Bad Guy, Without You etc.
He even rearranged a few of these himself!
Yaasss my kaaii🙌🙌🙌 sweet voice, sexy, expressionist, and Rap n R B be like ! Woowwww
when kai's album dropped last year, i remember getting off the van from commute, like 5 blocks away from my house, and i'd literally blast Ride or Die while wearing earphones, and i'd just walk all fancy and shit listening to ROD for 2-3 loops.. and in my head i was dnacing on the streets.. which i obv wouldnt do irl. :) ROD is absolutely my favorite.
Definitely, it's a no skip album. I love his low voice in Hello Stranger, too!!! ♡ I can't have a favourite. EVERY SONG IN THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE. He DID it soooo great!!
yayyyyyyy ive been waiting for this 😌✨
ROSE I LOVE YOUUUUUU!
@@caitlinbensonn 🥰 LOVE YOU MORE ✨

'KAI' is a no skip album
This album is RnB REALNESS!!!!
Thank you !!!!!!
Omg you reacted to Kai !! I’m so excited 😵
Halo caitlin in your reaction to this album for reason has the live performance, you can check to kai debut in kpop show like mcountdown, inkigayi, musicbank n etc
idk if someone already told you this but! he's performed some of his songs on music shows along with mmmh! except for amnesia tho, rip. and reason he's performed it a few times!
Hmm i think because the title's amnesia that's why he's repeating the lyrics a lot but i'm not sure.
Love your reactions so much!
every time you fangirl over kai it never fails to make me laugh its so fun watching you react to him 😭
reason is actually a dance song yes! it has a dance practice you can react to it along with mmmh dance practice hehe
I still listen to it everyday 🤍
