Fun in patterns, dapper in a suit, or royal like in hanbok, here are our top 5 outfits worn by EXO Kai onstage.
1. ‘LOVE SHOT’ - SBS K-POP AWARDS 2018
This EXO performance is probably one of the most iconic performances in any K-Pop awards to date and this solo opening dance performance by Kai was a pop-cultural moment as he left everyone either screaming or completely speechless by how amazing he looked. A black velvet suit might be the simplest look, but on Kai, this outfit was elevated, giving off a very classy, elegant, yet alluring and fascinating appeal. Finished off with the red rose and a gun hoist, Kai was devilishly charming on this stage.
2. ‘Mmmh’ - Studio Choom
In this leather outfit, Kai looked appealing as ever. The hats with the ropes swinging fiercely and matching his movements made him look so mysterious and intriguing.
3. ‘Obsession’ - Inkigayo stage
‘Obsession’ era showed off Kai’s style in a different light. With the dark and mysterious concept of the song, Kai’s outfit was the perfect choice for this theme. Accentuating his fierce dance moves, giving viewers a clear view of the power and technique it takes to pull off an EXO choreography and showing off his toned abs, this crop top leather outfit was absolutely captivating. And like every other fan, we are obsessed with this stage performance, in all the right way though.
