I'm just crossposting this from my Tumblr. This morning, I got a message asking me about my thoughts on Kyungsoo and this doesn't give enough justice to what I really think about him but it's all I could muster at 11 a.m. on a Christmas break morning.
Man, where do I start. First of all, I’m going to admit right here
and right now that I was very very very insanely disappointed when I
found out that Jino wasn’t in EXO (I had high hopes of him debuting with
them!!!). I think that’s the main reason why my initial response to
SM’s new boy group was kind of lukewarm. I’ve never been fond of rookies
to begin with. During the time when the only members I knew the names
to were Kai, Sehun, and Luhan (because they were the ones being thrust
so early into the limelight), I didn’t even bat Kyungsoo a second
glance. He wasn’t my type (he still isn’t but I’ll go into that later)
and I just really didn’t gravitate towards him. I think I sort of
already liked Kai back then but was too stubborn to admit it to myself.
But anyways, I wasn’t really interested in Kyungsoo or EXO in general so
I left them alone.
Then sometime around August 2012, I started
getting more and more interested in the group (which is kind of ironic
since they practically did nothing around that time). I started
downloading their songs and watching their performances and show
guestings and reading fanfiction (this is where I know I’m going to be
in too deep) and it was inevitable that I would eventually get sucked
into their black hole. I tried to resist since I have this absurd rule
of only one fandom at a time (because let’s be honest, I can’t even
handle just one fandom, what more TWO?!) but my efforts were futile. The
power of pretty boys is fatal. And with the rites of passage of joining
another fandom, it was kind of necessary that I picked a bias. But I
didn’t even plan on picking Kyungsoo? It just sort of happened?? Like in
a stroke of inspiration??? I’m talking in questions right now because
it kind of reflects how Kyungsoo became my bias???? I was so sure Kai
was going to be my bias but I heard Kyungsoo sing and be his goddamn
cute-while-not-even-trying-to-be-cute self and BAM! I was like, “oooooh,
I like him. He’s the one” lmao.
Going into further detail about
why Kyungsoo is my bias even though he’s not my type, it’s really due
to his endearing 4D personality and his voice that could make angels
cry. He often keeps to himself and is quite reserved and I guess I can
relate to him since I’m sort of like that too? Also, I love the way that
he doesn’t seem to try too hard whenever he’s in front of a camera.
Some of the members try too hard to charm their way into fangirls’
hearts that it makes me cringe sometimes. If there’s one word I could
describe Kyungsoo, it would be natural. But then, I might be going
against myself too because I also think he hides a lot of things and has
tons of secrets because he just seems the type to not reach out towards
people. I understand that though. Practically his life story’s being
sold on television, it’s hard to trust people in his line of work.
Also, I love how he can be sassy and mean and snarky and violent when
he wants to be but also half the time, he’s this little ball of
sunshine and rainbows and fields of daffodils.
All in all, I think Kyungsoo is a special snowflake that deserves all
the love and affection that he’s getting. His voice is officially my
favorite voice in the whole wide world and his personality is just
adorable and all sorts of endearing and he is always free to live in my
pocket. He is so tiny in person that it makes me want to scoop him up in
my arms and coo over him (funny because he’s still heaps taller than I
am).
I feel like this doesn’t give enough justice to Kyungsoo and I
actually want to delve further into other things but this is already
long and I’m pretty sure no one gives two cents about what I have to
think anyway hehe.
Feel free to message me if you wanna talk more
about this wonderful human being though! Talking about Kyungsoo is one
of my favorite things to do :3
