[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

Kai has been chosen as the cover model for December's issue of Big Issue. Its known for using half of its proceeds to hire homeless people as sales representatives. Kai chose to do the shoot for free to support the cause. Initially, 15,000 copies were printed, but all of them sold out in just two days. Big Issue printed 5,000 more and those sold out too! Its the most the magazine has sold this year.

Kai's “Big Issue" a magazine that helps the homeless just got sold out in 2 days covering a total of 15,000 and remarks as the first time record. Thank you so much to fans who bought the magazines and support Kai's good intention to help other people😂👍https://t.co/KqIR749Loi pic.twitter.com/RgnXFTAwKi

During the speech for EXO's Artist of the Year win, Kai got emotional when he mentioned fans "keeping others warm" by supporting the magazine.

he looks very good, especially in that sweater! it's so nice to see exo-ls doing good and helping less fortunate people out there :') i'm proud and happy for everyone involved! exo's award speeches from mama/mma still make me emo, i love them.

and hi, this is my first comment ever on omona although i've been lurking for a while now. hah i feel a bit awkward just announcing it like that but yeah. i'm an exo fan first and foremost so you'll probably mostly see me in their posts but i like a few other groups too. it's nice to meet you all :)

/silently creeps in/

[yuujinchous.livejournal.com]

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

these pictures are beautiful and the fact that exo-ls came out in full force to help the less fortunate makes it even more special!!

Putting idols on the cover of Big Issue might be one of the most brilliant charity ideas I have ever heard

[torontok.livejournal.com]

A beautiful man for a beautiful cause :) I was following updates about this and it's really wonderful how kfans were sharing locations of sellers and taking them hot drinks and food as well as buying the magazine.You can tell Jongin must have been really touched by all of it given his MMA speech (and everyone who was mocking him for it can shove it smdh).

And the shoot itself is gorgeous. 2017 really has been the year of Kai coming for my bias list (I'm still a xiuhoe tho, dont get me wrong)

[mmmalvina.livejournal.com]

don't be afraid of your feelings, sis!

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Look at my main man Minseok in the background of that gif, reminding me I need to be loyal

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

it was hard to compile all the tweets and I didn't want to overflow the post plus hunt down sources but yes there's SO many accounts of sellers talking about how wonderful the fans have been, it's great to see!

give IN sis, it's only going to get better from here :)

[mmmalvina.livejournal.com]

my charitable god! my heart broke when i saw him crying at mma, he's clearly been touched by all this overwhelming support :'( exo-l's are such good fans

[areumi.livejournal.com]

i've chosen my ult bias well...

he just looks GREAT in everything istg it's impossible not to swoon in each of his photoshoot

[vh4n.livejournal.com]

I don't have very strong feelings for Kai but boy looks rill nice in photos.

My favorite is the one where he's wearing the cut out suit jacket *fans self*

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

He is so gorgeous.
Not since Minho have I ever crushed so hard on a K-Pop Idol. (Then I got into BTS and now its all Jungkook but Kai is so effortlessly hot.)

Is anyone else watching his show? I love it.

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]
