140821 EXO-L Board Update by Kai

Hello. This is EXO’s Kai.

Today I stood on the same stage with Taemin performing the song ‘Pretty Boy’. Thank you so much to EXO-L and SHINee World who came to see us record it this morning.

Thank you SHINee World for giving me such a warm welcome, I was really impressed to see all the support you gave Taemin. Although this was the first time I performed in front of SHINee World, I feel like we created really good memories together!

And EXO-L!! You gave me so much strength by coming to see me in the morning. It took a while [to record] so it must have been difficult for you. ㅜ I was impressed by how organized you guys were and touched by all the support. It’s been a while since I did a stage like this, and looking at it… I felt really, really good.

I felt so so good that I wanted to talk to you all after the performance had ended, but I couldn’t because they had to continue recording the next stage, so I’m writing this to tell you how I feel. As espected… I have nothing but you fans. To all the fans who couldn’t come today, I hope you will see this message and feel better.

EXO-L, you all know how I feel, right? Thank you!!

Thank you~ & Enjoy~

SM is really pushing them aren't they. Like it's really weird.

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

OMG THE PRETTY BOY STAGE. 2 of my biases rocking it. i'm in love w/ the stage and will be replaying it. kai walking in and them interacting on stage <3

*goes off to watch 4 things*

lol @ taemin's manager asking if kai and him are dating because of how much they chill together.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

I'll watch when I get home in an hour. But just dropping in to say I'm so happy you got to post this OP! lol

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

I'm happy too & thank you, even though most important things aren't sub yet, it's still great w/o subs

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

the way SM is promoting this friendship is weird. Like, I know they're close...I don't need interviews where they talk about each other to show me that lol I guess I would be uncomfortable if my friendship with someone was made into a publicity thing so thats why I think its weird.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

SM likes promoting friendships for cross platform appeal. That's how Kai was initially introduced including a dance stage with Taemin and Eunhyuk

Other examples include DBSK going on SuJu's EHB, Band of Brothers (Heechul, Kangin, Jungmo, and Jay), M&D promos (Heechul and Jungmo), and ToHeart (Key and Woohyun)

Aww my fave cute broship

[ultraflyy23.livejournal.com]

Although I think it's a little weird how much SM is pushing them, I'm sure they don't mind too much. This is probably the most time they've spent together since EXO's debut.

this beautiful friendship

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

greatest thing since jack & rose, except they WOULD ACTUALLY SHARE THE DOOR OR DROWN TOGETHER #DAFEELS

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

People can say they're only a ~brotp~ but sometimes they're legit flirty with each other idk, but I love it ngl.
I'm totally saving this to watch it later, I can't get enough of these two together. That Pretty Boy perf was awesome and I totally love Taemin's jacket.

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

Omg, girllll those touches were something else, i was gasping for air

[kittyboo17.livejournal.com]

I don't even really stan these two but their bromance feels so nice and heartwarming to me.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

sorry, but all i see is sm trying really hard to create a new yunjae.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Except Yunjae weren't even close friends to begin with, so it didn't feel as genuine as this.

[aki-san.livejournal.com]

That Pretty Boy stage made me a believer.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the club! :D

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

well, sm has a easier path now.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

i know that they're truly friends. i
'm just questioning how sm is monetizing their friendship, that's all.
i hope that they remain friends for a long time. =D

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

I believe that SM is definitely working this to their advantage, it would be a lost not to.

Same, sad that they're actually a three-person ship, but one is missing since he left SM, and we'll never get to fully enjoy the greatness that is TaeKaiMoon (Moonkyu, the missing one)

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

xcuse me the only real ship is sekai and no i dont mean sehun, i mean the user hitthoselightz

anyway ive had pretty boy p much on repeat bc of kais contribution which makes this the song of the millennium tbh i wish ive had their friendship. i have close friends and best friends but not really on this level

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

I look forward to the mnet having subs.

Besides that, they seem to have a great friendship. I want one xD

[borapaipai.livejournal.com]

Their friendship is too precious for words.

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

Your icon T_T (the best 9 seconds of life) and your gif, perfect

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

Loving this post. Today was def a TaeKai day for me.

[keyutie.livejournal.com]

kind of OT but does anyone know if Taemin's episode of 4things is going to be subbed or not? :( I wanna understand

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

It should be. I'm keeping an eye out, and will update :)

[vivid-sky.livejournal.com]

Kai is so hot JESUS NO why

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Taekai friendship is wonderful to see. My best friend and I are exactly the same with each other. I don't find it odd at all. Two friends living their dreams. SM would be stupid not to push it.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I'm actually really happy Taem got to do this with Kai. Its like achieving his dream while doing it with his bestfriend and not many people got to do this in their life.

He must be having a time of his life right now. Despite SM using this opportunity to cash in on the friendship, in the end, the fact that he can spent more with with his buddy is what really matters! :D

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

I'm dying in the taekai feels, this post was beautiful. They are about to overtake GDYB out spot 1 of my fave kpop friendship. SM is too obvious in the money making but as long as they enjoy themselves is all it matter in the end.
They are like one of thos rare bro that i can easily ship, their chemistry always give me mixed vibes.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Omg Kai, no. White shirts are my weakness. It's like I need to stan him now. Noooo.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

my fave brotp. these boys are too cute

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

You're even milking their friendship, SM?! Do you have no decency? --> that's a rhetorical question; I already know the answer to it! ~.~

[fikshnaddiction.livejournal.com]

on the bright side they get to spend more time together ~<3
