I could summarize this entire post with two names: Kai and Kyungsoo but then, what would be the point of this if I just leave it at that, right? And I need to explain why Kai makes me hate this rookie group and why Kyungsoo is the epitome of why I love them.
Okay, I'll start from when it all first began. Back in late Decemeber of last year, when Kai's first teaser appeared and surprised the whole SM fandom, I was part of the people who were fairly passive about it. Okay, so here's a good-looking boy who can dance but I've got Taemin already and a new rookie group? Naaah. I'm not really one for rookies because most of them come off as awkward while performing on stage and I normally judge a group not just on their pretty faces and the songs they put out, but as well as their live performances. Flawless live performances equals a happy, contented Chryss. But I digress. After Kai's first teaser, another one came out, this time with Luhan and boy did Luhan make me feel all fuzzy inside because he was so pretty and feminine-looking and I wanted nothing more than to bask in his unearthly beauty. But shortly after the 3rd teaser came out, another one was released and then another one and they just kept coming and coming until my interest in this upcoming group began to dwindle, even with all the pretty pictures posted on Facebook and the W Korea photoshoot they had with Taemin. Why? Because there were just too many teasers! It annoyed me to a certain extent that I began to get annoyed with EXO themselves.
So I left them alone and decided to focus on my one true love, SHINee. Come EXO's debut stage and I still did not pay them a single ounce of attention except when some gifs and pictures of them appeared on my dashboard and they (you guessed it) irked me because most of the Shawols I followed were turning into Exotics and there was a time when I had a massive unfollowing spree because it came to a point that my dashboard was filled with more EXO-related stuff than posts relevant and concerning my five idiots.
But don't say that I never gave them a chance. I did. I watched some of their live performances and it just did not cut it out for me. EXO lipsynched an abnormally high percentage of their lives for a rookie group and that's something that made me feel cheated because I wanted to hear their voices live. SHINee sang live during their debut stage and so did f(x) and a lot of their other colleagues, why couldn't they do the same? It just left me confused and discontented.
But then I realized that I wasn't going to hate on EXO just because they couldn't give me flawless live performances. Their songs are really good, my taste exactly, and even though they don't have the same special factor that SHINee has when they perform, SHINee is SHINee - a group that's known for their excellent live performances, and EXO is EXO - a rookie group that's still trying. They're two completely different groups and I'm not about to start bashing on a group of boys that I secretly love but just won't admit it to myself. (Yes, you heard it right. I loved them all along but I just didn't want to acknowledge the fact.)
Now, why does Kai make me hate EXO? I hate EXO because of his mere existence in the group. But before you fangirls decide to throw stones at me, I hate him because I love him. Do you get what I mean? I don't want to have any feelings for him but my stupid, little heart does and every time I see a gorgeous photo of him, my stomach flips and I kind of want to crawl on the floor and cry or maybe punch his face or something like that. It's abnormal, really.
And lastly, I love EXO because of adorable snowflake Kyungsoo. He has hands-down one of my favorite voices in Kpop because it's just so smooth and rich and sounds great at any range. Plus, he's #2 in my list of cutest guys in the world. The faces he makes, on stage and off, leave me melting in a pool of feels and I feel like kidnapping him and keeping him in my pocket.
I didn't expect for this post to be so long but I felt like I needed to explain myself. A lot of my friends from school who like EXO are always asking me why I fangirl over the boys but insult them online all the time. But then again, I insult everyone I love.
