I was also the same. After a long time I finally realised that it was a chinese name when I remembered my cousin's name had Kai in it 😂 I only call him by his chinese name and yet I didn't realise until years later
Chen's visual is underrated. I find he has this kind hearted face with the cutest smile among all. He looks like a nyanko sensei whenever he laughed, and his laughing voice is the most carefree among all. GOSH I MISS HIM ON STAGE AND SHOWSS WITH HIS A WAEE. SM has been quite a sport handling most of their dating issue lately but again it's just the fans cannot accept the facts.
scout even tho lots of people hate sm, yeah I agree that sm doesn’t take care of his artists properly, and Maybe he is too strict towards them , but I think that among all big3 he is the smartest! All of his artists are successful, famous, he really is a genius and he knows what he is doing!
Im watching his older videos , Wow Chen looks so amazing so handsome his smile is so precious He is just too adorable .He is sunshine and also he is a star.
I have been an EXO Fan since 2012, and I only know the meaning of Kai's 😅 For all these years, I'm not aware of meaning of my ultimate biases Chen and DO at all...🤦♀️🤦♂️
@@lil_sugi4633 his last name is Do Kyunsoo which pronounce as " do" but his stage name is D.O and pronounce as "dio". I think there must be a meaning in it, but i dont know
CheVin it’s really just bcs of his real name 😂 We dont know abt the real meaning of the name D.O. since they never talk abt this but obviously D.O. is from his last name Do of Do kyungsoo 🙂 and the right way to write his official international name is Doh Kyungsoo, not Do 🙂
@@huyenvi7299 at first, I thought the same that it was from his last name. But after Chen explaining his name's and Xuimin's meaning, I think DO must have its own meaning. I dont know anyways🤷♀️, either it has its own meaning or it is just D to the O😅
Kai is a unique name and is a common name in Hawaii. The meaning of kai in Hawaiian is “sea” or “ocean”. So when I heard that a kpop idol had that name I was shooked myself 😂
Tbh, I think their stage names are just genius. I love how he also named Yixing, Lay. Xiumin, Chen, Suho and Kai. It is easier to remember and it sounds cooler. Although Sehun and Luhan go by their real names it still amazes me how their names are almost similar as much as they also look kinda similar. SM's brilliance.
I knew Kai meaning from his solo debut reaction Suho, since I stanned exo as he mentioned it many times And I just knew about Chen What does Xiumin mean and does D.O really come from his surname? Edit: I don't even know the meaning of their real names 😅
Oh gos I have been searching the meaning of jongdae name stage (Chen) at every articles and videos and found nothing, and then this video is the answer, thank god I can sleep peacefully
Lay said in an interview that SM staff mentioned that he somehow has resemblance with Huaze Lei (the one in Boys over Flowers idk) because of his fondness with music and such. So he became Lay.
he is,but its not always giving names(new name),sometimes he keep their real name.its just like he's the one who dicide the stage name for sm artist,its like a tradition in sm.
they count the special episode as an episode (counting it together w/the usual ones) rather than put it special episode I think... its sometimes do confusing...
I've really be thinking all this time Kai was named after the Hawaiian people, as a connection both to his preference to keep his "dark" (aka just lightly tan) skin and therefor potential American appeal... I've been thinking/assuming this for years.
All their names have cute meaning....and then there's Lay who got his name from a character of Taiwan hit drama Meteor Garden "Hua Zei Lei" And it sounded like 'lei' in Chinese meaning "lazy" but he said he is not lazy. That it's just a stage name goven to him. Hi Vic Zhou.
So, Suho means guardian Chen means star at dawn Kai means "to open" Is D.O from his surname or does it have some other meaning? And what does Xiumin mean?
Exactly my thoughts You need Key to open (Kai) 😶 So does Key appear at the first of Shinee teasers 😅 (he doesn't as in Don't Call Me teaser, he was the last member in the teaser)
![CHEN Never Says Anything Wrong [Radio Star Ep 612]](/img/n.gif)
I don’t see many people talking about how good looking Chen is omg. He’s gorgeous!
They fail to recognize
Linh Nguyễn
Ikr❤️ his smile is justttt uwuwuwuwu
He is gorgeous, every time I see him the sun shines a little brighter
HE JUST AWESOME
He is!!!!
😂 I know Chinese but didn't even think Kai was Chinese
I love that suho means guardian of exo though ❤️
I was also the same. After a long time I finally realised that it was a chinese name when I remembered my cousin's name had Kai in it 😂 I only call him by his chinese name and yet I didn't realise until years later
I thought it was Japanese.... Since you know... Beyblade's KAI :D
Same suho’s name always give me the feels
anyone whose lived in new zealand for a while would know that kai means food in maori lmao
Lmao same. I didn’t even think of it as being the same ”开” like in 开门。I just thought that it was some other language😂
Chen is darn cute and that hair suits him the best❣
Everything suits him best tho😁❤️
Chen's visual is underrated. I find he has this kind hearted face with the cutest smile among all.

SM has been quite a sport handling most of their dating issue lately but again it's just the fans cannot accept the facts.
So that's why Kai had the most teaser videos 😂 and people got so annoyed lol
Hahahaha omg
Lol
Its like EXO is a mystery and for each and everything EXO does it has deep meaning behind it.... RIGHT??
Wow I had no idea it was Lee Sooman behind their stage names
7 years later and we're still finding out new information haha, well at least for me
He named them all from H.O.T. to NCT.
@@notmyname3556 Wow that's so cool! Also your acc name is so fitting for this discussion haha
He is. I mean, all SME artist stage name mostly came from him. He's a genius.
scout even tho lots of people hate sm, yeah I agree that sm doesn’t take care of his artists properly, and Maybe he is too strict towards them , but I think that among all big3 he is the smartest! All of his artists are successful, famous, he really is a genius and he knows what he is doing!
@@markleeisalegend339 what people fail to realize is LSM is no longer CEO of sm. He's a producer. he doesn't do scheduling and all that shit.
🌟You shine like the stars you light up my heart🌟 yes he is our Jongdae
*Jongdae voice* you could be my only star/ you could be the moonlight
Been Through...😙😙
Chen is so adorable!!
Chen is so handsome can't take my eyes off.Imagine this Chen in Love Shot doing the main dance part😍😍
Lee Sooman ssi is very intelligent. Thankyou for giving our babies special stage name❤
Im watching his older videos , Wow Chen looks so amazing so handsome his smile is so precious He is just too adorable .He is sunshine and also he is a star.
Appreciating CHEN's visual. That's it!
I have been an EXO Fan since 2012, and I only know the meaning of Kai's 😅
For all these years, I'm not aware of meaning of my ultimate biases Chen and DO at all...🤦♀️🤦♂️
Didn't D.O come from his last name? Do Kyungsoo?
@@lil_sugi4633 his last name is Do Kyunsoo which pronounce as " do" but his stage name is D.O and pronounce as "dio". I think there must be a meaning in it, but i dont know

I dont know anyways🤷♀️, either it has its own meaning or it is just D to the O😅
D.O.
Type the right
Kai is a unique name and is a common name in Hawaii. The meaning of kai in Hawaiian is “sea” or “ocean”. So when I heard that a kpop idol had that name I was shooked myself 😂
Kai is also a Norwegian Male name.
It means the same thing in Japanese as well! It may have derived from the Japanese immigrants then, right?
The kanji 開 is pronounced "Kai" in Japanese, too btw
Okay I have been into K-pop since 2017, and immediately stanned EXO and I know all of the things they say in shows like this! 😎
I always want him to laugh because it’s so adorable.
Chen is totally husband material 😍
you said it
well, he is a real husband now :)))
ThankU to our Lee soo man Sajangnim for giving our Jongin as Kai
The best Center and dancer in EXO :)
Yesss😍❤
No he's not the best center in EXO . He is the best center in kpop industry
Yeeeeess 😍😍
@@sehunsass2715 I agree with you
Adi padili. Shut up
I love how he laughs. He always closes his eyes. 💖
I want lee soman to give a name to my baby later hahaha
nurul fajriati 😂😂😂
He's gonna name your baby “No Comeback For EXO In 50 years.”
@@catelinsanjose3833 they are coming back but lol 😂

I miss those Lee Soman era's with EXO. They were treated like gems in his era!!😔
Chennie Chen Chen is so cuuutteee!!! I love him so much!!!
I need to say one thing
Chen is so handsome in this show😘😘😘😘😘
lee sooman is always the one who give sm idol their stage name,its like a tradition in sm.
He is a good looking guy, besides having a powerful voice.
Why does Chen look so beauitful omg
our star CHEN looks stunning here!!!
Tbh, I think their stage names are just genius. I love how he also named Yixing, Lay. Xiumin, Chen, Suho and Kai. It is easier to remember and it sounds cooler. Although Sehun and Luhan go by their real names it still amazes me how their names are almost similar as much as they also look kinda similar. SM's brilliance.
His smile is out of universe for me. Soooo fluttering 😍😍😍😍😍
Chen is my life star 😍
"Kai always starts the teasers" I guess that's true for obsession too haha
Well chen or Jongdae he is a star in my heart 🌟
I've been in this fandom since their debut and I just learnt the meanings of Kai and Chen's names hahahahaha help.
I knew Kai meaning from his solo debut reaction
Suho, since I stanned exo as he mentioned it many times
And I just knew about Chen
What does Xiumin mean and does D.O really come from his surname?
Edit: I don't even know the meaning of their real names 😅
AWWW.... HIS PRECIOUS SMILE NEVER FAILED TO MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM😭😭😭😂😂😂Ily Jongdaee yaa😘😂
chen really is so handsome, especially here --my hearteu
Gosh he is soooooooooo cuteeeee
I like the way he talks, his voice is attractive too

Wow, Kai, as in 开... I'm shook
HE'S LITERALLY A VISUAL, CHEN 🔛🔝
Oh gos I have been searching the meaning of jongdae name stage (Chen) at every articles and videos and found nothing, and then this video is the answer, thank god I can sleep peacefully
Chen😍😍😍😍
1:24 so we..well, that's all 😂😂😂😂 he's so adorable ahaha 😂😂
Chen looks gorgeous
Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Chen, DO, and Kai (and Tao if you call that a stage name lol)
Curious what Lay is supposed to mean lol...
Lay said in an interview that SM staff mentioned that he somehow has resemblance with Huaze Lei (the one in Boys over Flowers idk) because of his fondness with music and such. So he became Lay.
Tao maybe from his real name, Huang Zitao
@@larahajima9980 ya, i remember lay saying this on a show lol
LSM gave LAY's nickname too, its mean Look at Yixing(from his birth's name Yixing)
ScarLet Fox woah
Chen is so handsome
Let's just say that Lee Soo Man pretty much gave names to all of his artists. 😂
he is,but its not always giving names(new name),sometimes he keep their real name.its just like he's the one who dicide the stage name for sm artist,its like a tradition in sm.
JONGDAE IS SO HANDSOME
chen is so handsome here, my heart is jumping!
I miss him so much 🥰

I bet if those jokes were told by Suho, Chen would have left the room😂
Chen 💕💕💕

Now theory makers, we have to relate to their stage names too 😉
I need a JD CB with this hairstyle +colour

Chen really has my heart ♡
King

Chen is handsome 😍❤
Chen's so beautiful. Like give me some of that beauty. I'm a girl and not even 10% of his beauty is in me.
I was today years old when I found out Kai was actually the word 开
It was literally the cover of his solo album 😅
Ohh now I know why Kai is also the face and center
I was on a website and it said the episode Chen was on is 617!!!!!!!UMMMMM,WHSATTTTTTTTTT??????
they count the special episode as an episode (counting it together w/the usual ones) rather than put it special episode I think... its sometimes do confusing...
I am a chinese and my last name is Chen
i love chen so much
Chen is so cute😍😍
I didn't really understand anything, but i laughed because Chen did❤️😂
There's ENG SUB though
Falling in love to jongdae's laugh
تشين طالع حلو و كيووووت 😍
his polite laugh is so quiet x)
Jongdae laugh gives me life ❤
he look so good
I've really be thinking all this time Kai was named after the Hawaiian people, as a connection both to his preference to keep his "dark" (aka just lightly tan) skin and therefor potential American appeal...
I've been thinking/assuming this for years.

Chen is handsome
Chen cute
I’m glad that ‘chen’ is his stage name and not ‘jin’ cuz..... you know
he is soooo handsome ohmy god
kai means water too
Jongdae love of my life I miss you :(
So,
Suho means guardian
Chen means star at dawn
Kai means "to open"
Is D.O from his surname or does it have some other meaning?
And what does Xiumin mean?
I am from Kerala. There is a Malayalam word Kai which means hands
please invite btob hyunsik as well. thankyou
너무 잘생겼다😍😍
miss you jd, can you come back now? 🥺
Chen is a hubby material a
Imagine Kai watching this👀
Haechan
Admit it, you have a great crush on this CHEN
So Haha is the new mc ?
Kai = to open, its like 'key'?
Exactly my thoughts
You need Key to open (Kai) 😶
So does Key appear at the first of Shinee teasers 😅 (he doesn't as in Don't Call Me teaser, he was the last member in the teaser)
So in māori, kai means food 😅
ahahaha the satoori jokes
