But mind you, he's not like that, not at all. This cold and fierce looking guy you're seeing here is totally different off stage. Off stage, he treats the airport like his personal runway. He can be wearing just a simple white shirt (which is the best on him to me) and still looks like a God. This guy, who is always said to have a 'bitch face' is actually very....... cute, yes, cute. He laughs at the lamest jokes, and he's a really, really, really, good big brother to the rest of the members. He may be the third oldest, but when he was given the responsibility of being the duizhang, he also took up the responsibility of being the big brother to all the members. He took care of them, gave them advices, help them when they are in need, this is Kris. A young man like everyone else but has achieved much more than any of us did. He didn't give up when everyone was bashing him for being cold on stage, for always having that face. He just debuted and have been accused of having plastic surgery just because he looked so perfect. This is Kris. He may be quiet, he may look like he don't have a care about the world, but actually, he cares, a lot. He don't talk much but whenever the members need someone, he'll be there. Kris.. He's mysterious. You don't know much about him and he don't really mention about his family background. Kris, everyone only thinks of him as Exo's leader. But he actually ranks third in Exo. He takes up the responsibility to take care of the members, not only in M but all 11 of them. When Chanyeol just did his eye lasik surgery, he can't be exposed to flashes and when Kris was supposedly the 'photographer' of the day, he switched off the flash before taking a picture of Chanyeol. It's a small action but this just shows how much he cares for the members. Although Chanyeol might have already recovered, he took a precaution, worrying that he might hurt Chanyeol's eyes. Just because he's the leader, he have countless of responsibilities, but he is just another 90-er kid. He needs someone to care for him too. Kris may look cold but who was the one whose eyes turned red and watery because of Tao's thank you speech? Kris. When Exo-M won the most popular group award, he finally broke down. When he broke down, my world was crumbling down too. I started crying with him and then I thought and I promised myself, I will walk the journey with you, I'll always be there when you cry and I'll walk the whole way with you.
Those 4 years of training was not a joke. He cried, he can finally cry because he knew he made it. Those years of not giving up have made him today's Kris. Those rare smiles that he give, although he's not a cheesy person, you know he loves the fans with all his heart just by one look. Who says if you love your fans you have to say it every single time? Who says you have to say 'i love you' to know that they really loves you? Although Kris don't say it often, he shows it through his actions. How even though the managers stop him from speaking to the fans or taking their gifts, he made an effort to interact with the fans as much as he can. He grab gifts at every opportunity given to him and he cares for all the fans. Like how recently, the hotel was crowded with fans. The vase broke and he turned around to see if anyone got hurt. That's how much he cares. This is Kris. Exo's duizhang. Our dragon. He can just walk ahead, but he didn't, he cares. He is worried about the fans' safety than his own. Kris.. He have the most horrendous handwriting I've ever seen. How can one write so horribly in Chinese, Korean and English?
When he oh-so-confidently said "写字不好看,不代表画画不好看。" [I can't write nicely but this doesn't mean I can't draw nicely] I really wanted to believe him, I really do. I tried. But it turned out...
Mind you, he was drawing a rhino. He drew it like it was a donkey or something. He even guessed Tao's kangaroo as a duck, can you believe it? (not that Tao's drawing and writing is anywhere better but still). This is Kris being a dork. This is his own cute side. When Halloween rolls around, Exo-M was given the job to design Halloween cards for the American fans. Do you know what this duizhang of ours did? He drew a koala. A KOALA. What has a koala got to do with Halloween anyways? Later we found out... They actually had a koala stuff toy on the table. But when asked, this was what he explained....
LIKE WHAT THE HELL KRIS?
But he's cute like that, you can't blame him, he's our one and only duizhang. I love Kris' drawings and I think they are cute, problem? Oh and this bitchface duizhang... I think he has a fetish for soft toys. When he saw that alpaca, I swear it was love at first sight. It's like he found his son. Then people started shipping AlpaKris. Which is like Kris and a.... Stuff toy!? It's cute nonetheless.
He's looking at it like "Oh, Daddy's so proud of you son". I swear he's in love with it, he probably has a portrait of it up in his room right now. Well, the love started when Kris was alighting the bus, van whatever, not the point. A fan was there waiting with these bags of gifts and his beloved. When he saw it, he immediately grabbed it. He even refused to put it up in the cabin of the plane when the stewardess asked. Like is this Kris??? When he went to the toilet... He put his beloved on his seat and fastened the seat-belt for it. Isn't our duizhang absolutely adorable? When they reached Incheon, he was still carrying it and he even put his scarf and specs on the alpaca. Like.. Is he playing barbie doll? Yixing and Luhan were really fascinated by it and they too, loved Kris' alpaca. And their smiles, omg, okay sorry this is Kris' appreciation post.
this is proud duizhang carrying his fashionista(?) son.
This is Kris. Everyday, he would show you the different sides of him, bit by bit. Whenever I see him, he always surprises me. When I first knew Exo, I thought "wow, can he please chill??" I was afraid of him truthfully, if looks could kill, I would've been dead like 7 months ago? I really want to thank Kris for opening up more and more on shows. If not, I would have never know how sweet this cold-looking guy was. I love Wufan's smile. It's those rare smiles that he gives that attracted me. When he smiles, his gums shows and that is absolutely stunning. Yes, he don't smile really brightly like our happy virus but when he smiles, those tiredness just washes themselves away. You will feel like supporting Exo was a right choice after all. Because, our duizhang's smile... It's really heartwarming, he's really smiling for real and it's not just a facade. Kris may not be my bias, but i love him, i love every single one of them. Each of them have their own different personalities and they are unique in their own ways. And I love Wufan just the way he is. When he speaks Chinese, although he's Chinese, I would still go weak in the knees because he sounds really good. When he speaks English, I can die. When he speaks Korean, he's just an awkward turtle. I love all these about Kris. He's really hardworking and he's just... Kris. When the fans asked for aegyo, although it's not his forte, he tried. That's how much he loves his fans and he is willing to act cute just for us.
"you gotta keep this a secret." how bout no?
When he appreciates his fans, when he was so touched, he could have cried but he hanged on. Because he knows that if he cried, the fans would cry too. He knew that it was a happy occasion since it was his birthday, hence, no matter how touched he was, he kept it in because he don't want the fans to be sad. When he sang that song, his voice, it was really soothing. I can hear that he put in a lot of effort and that is probably like his favourite song or something cos he was lip-syncing to it on one of the programs. Although he's a rapper, he sang. He sang the song. For the fans. Words can't describe how touched I was when he sang those few lines, although I was not present for that event, I can feel the emotions he put in for that song. Wufan, you're really special you know?
吴凡,有你在这里,就是生命的奇迹。
Kris oh Kris, there are 1001 things I have to say about you. How you can't even make a proper heart... It's the ugliest heart I've ever seen but it's your heart and I love it.
Kris, I love everything about you and I hope you will never change, I hope you will always stay this way. I hope you'll always be our humble duizhang. Please always smile, don't frown too much, you'll get old faster okay? I love your smiles, and I hope you'll smile that gummy smile of yours often. If the world decides to betray you one day, I promise I will never turn my back against you.
you think you're in a CF?
Continue to work hard and I'm sure all your hard work will be rewarded. I will always support you no matter which part of the world you're in because you're worth it. You're worth all my efforts and my time. Because of your passion and hard working attitude, you made me fall in love with you. Duizhang, happy birthday. 생일축하. 生日快乐。You know I love you right? hehehehe
favourite picture of Kris. EVER.
Have a great day with all the members and fans and please have fun, you totally deserve it. I hope you get cake by the members. ^^;; And don't ever forget, we are always with you. WE ARE ONE!
