My bias in EXO is Kyungsoo too so my main concern is always him as well. Actually, it's interesting that you mentioned Kai glaring and it was what caught my attention when you posted that because truthfully speaking, you're not the only one who's noticed albeit your reason is different. I might send you a private message sometime soon because I'd love to discuss my thoughts on that with you.

btw I can't see you latest gifs, why ???

yeah i'll send you a pm when i can. i'm pretty busy this weekend so idk when i can. it's not very informative but since you mentioned the glaring, it might be an interesting discussion :)

 

you can't? i sourced them from a naver blog so they're pretty big. they might take a long while to load properly ^^

 

since it's nearing kaisoo day, i know many chinese fans and korean fans will be celebrating it judging by the posts on naver/pann and weibo, i might as well share some old kaisoo gifs. i'm currently organizing my exo folders so i'll post more when i get around to sorting my kaisoo gifs.

the little moments they share onstage where they smile at each other during a dance but then go back to performance face after a second

 

umsgSUO.gif

and of course the moments off stage where they're on standby. here you can see kyungsoo holding onto jongin's waist while they're waiting for their turn to go onstage, just because he can and he wants to.

 

warning! clingy kyungsoo ahead. 

clingy kyungsoo? why yes! he exists. as much as kyungsoo doesn't to meaningless skinship for the fan screams, he's actually pretty clingy when it comes to jongin.

practicing for the sbs 2013 song, the two sticking together the whole time. kyungsoo's hand on jongin's lower back and jongin's hand on kyungsoo's shoulder but then oops, camera spotted filming them.

and we've come full circle, walking around the airport with his hand on jongin's waist

 

 

 

i have more clingy kyungsoo and also more clingy jongin, i'll have to organize my gifs to post those.

i also have a compilation of them at airports since they're always together at airports.

 

bonus bts kaisoo:

 

omwguiG.gif

kaisoo forever together bts at events, this was a suho fancam but you can see kaisoo in it

there was also a gif where they were sitting together alone on a tablke and kyungsoo was pouring jongin a drink but i can't find it. anyone here have it?

I know this is like 2 months old but I just want to ask, your views and opinions align more with a TaeKai shipper and it would probably be better if you post your opinion in their thread rather than here in the Kaisoo thread where people actually genuinely ship them, friends or more than friends.

 

To preface this long post, I'll tell you that I'm a Kaisoo shipper and that in my more than a decade stay in Kpop, I have never seen another "ship" like them. My thoughts on them are that they're close hyung-dongsaeng. No doubt, the closest to each other in the group.

 

Based on reading your posts, I can surmise that you're pretty new to the fandom or maybe even K-Pop as a whole. TaeKai has been milked by SM as much as they can since EXO's debut and has recently been over milked for the promotion of Taemin's solo debut. That's why you get them mentioning each other nonstop in everything. It's a promotion tactic. Why do you think Dispatch posted those pictures that day and then later the debut date for Taemin was announced? It was marketing noise. Why were there so many articles on them? Why were there so many mentions and such? Because it's called promotion. SM used Taemin's and Kai's genuine close friendship to market them both. Taemin's already a known idol and tacking on Kai would promote him. Likewise, EXO's a pretty hot name and tacking that to Taemin's promotion would also attract attention. It's very normal and expected. It isn't the first time that it has happened and it certainly won't be the last. Many idols and singers flaunt their "friendship" as a means to garner attention. The same way some mediaplay about being related to so and so singer/actor or going to the same school or being in the same church. It's just simply how it works. In most cases, the connection aren't as deep as is promoted. It's merely being used for the media attention. In the case of Taemin and Kai, however, they happen to be real bestfriends and SM, being great at marketing, exploited that friendship.

 

If you think that the way they act towards each other is "boyfriend" material, then it would translate to all friends in Korea being boyfriends. The way they act towards each other is nothing special. It's simply normal for their status of bestfriends. If they aren't bestfriends, then it would be weird to be acting the way they are but because they are bestfriends, their actions are normal and expected of their culture. Also, as SM has been promoting their friendship, expect extreme skinship to show how close they are. It's marketing. Marketing. Marketing. It needs to be believable for the fans to buy it.

 

I think it's a pretty simple logical thought process = would TaeKai be so showy and obvious if they were more than bestfriends? Would SM be promoting them to this extent if they had something more between them? Dispatch and The Fact and numerous news portal outlets know a lot of things, so does broadcasting stations. SM would be foolish to brandish this to our faces if they were to be hiding something. Your first real clue that they're just bestfriends? Dispatch published those "date pictures", Mnet did that bff show with them. It's really a whole lot of things that I thought was pretty common and observational. The more obvious a couple is, the more you're being showed that it's all for show. It's marketing.

 

In the topic of Hyunsik, I think you merely read that and misunderstood. First of all, Hyunsik and D.O were not bestfriends. They were in the same class and went to the same music academy and were then in the same group. They were good friends and has still been in touch even when they became idols. The only account of D.O's bestfriend came from his own homeroom teacher. She said that D.O's bestfriend was a girl which later became his girlfriend because the relationship naturally progressed from close friends to boyfrends. And they shared the same passion for their talents which was that the girl was a dancer and the D.O was a singer. So they bonded over that. But on the topic of Hyunsik and D.O, I think people merely latched on to that thought and made it more than what it was. Promotion. Remember?

 

Is Kai closer to Taemin or D.O? That's a reasonable question. Taemin is Kai's bestfriend and they go way way back. On the other hand, Kai has only known D.O for almost 5 years, has been with him constantly for 3 of those. Taemin is of the same age as Kai and therefore, they qualify as friends which makes them qualify for the title of bestfriends. D.O, on the other hand, is a year older than Kai and therefore, they cannot be friends ergo, they can never be bestfriends. However, despite that, they have somehow managed to overcome their initial misunderstandings of each other and, according to the rest of the members, became the closest the fastest in the group that they even dropped their formalities for each other and speak in banmal despite the age gap. Kai, who has known the other members for longer, did not and still has not dropped the formalities for the other members except for D.O who he knew for a shorter time. They have also been roommates since predebut, only being put in different rooms during Wolf/Growl promo because they had to share with the M members. But when they transferred back to being K and M, they went back to being roommates. They have also been photographed plenty of times going out watching movies/eating out etc and recently, has been going out to play pool. The other members have been photographed playing with D.O but Kai has never been seen with him. Despite this, they clearly stated in a festival in Nanjing that the two of them hangout a lot to play pool. Only, D.O stopped Kai from telling the story when he was about to. Why did he stop Kai from telling the story when he has no problem telling the story of the others? I have no clue. D.O has also been known to be close with Kai's dogs and even his sister. And from Chinese accounts, they always share a room when doing their TLP tour and have only not shared for one or two instances. And as we have seen in every off stage and off camera pictures/videos, the two of them are always stuck to each other, hence the BTS couple title. And let's add the fact that D.O names Kai as the most mature member while Kai mentions D.O as despite being older than him, is very sweet to him. Kinda funny because all the members describe Kai as childish and playful while they describe D.O as mature and scary. So what can we surmise from all of this? That Kai and D.O are indeed the closest to each other in the group. But who is Kai closer to? D.O or Taemin? I think Kai's closeness to D.O is different from his closeness to Taemin who has the label of bestfriend.

 

Speaking of the BTS couple thing, I actually find it interesting how SM isn't very keen on promoting them as much as they have been promoting their other popular ships from before. Kaisoo is obviously one of the most popular ships internationally and domestically. I just find it weird that SM isn't milking the ship like how they milked other ships from other groups.

 

About Kai "glaring" at D.O, I find this kind of hilarious because this year, he has been glaring a lot. It's weird to discuss it here but Kai has been obviously pretty miffed about a lot of things this year when it comes to D.O. Or we can just say their lives don't revolve around each other so analyzing every minute reaction and tying it to them is pretty pointless. Which is why I find that the way they behave is organic. Not forced and certainly not fanservice. If it was fanservice, we'd be getting them constantly on camera instead of trying to look for bts fancams to see any sort of interaction from them. They are obviously not flaunting their closeness to the fans and that's one aspect that I like between the "ship".

 

I think this is my first time posting here. The thread is very dead so I might as well post some new Kaisoo

 

 

aFAEdE6.gif5A92E2u.gif

there are tons more bts stuff like all the MAMA and kbs entertainment awards, migu, etc etc but hey maybe next time

I agree with you. I think D.O is closest with Kai and Chanyeol too, but Chanyeol is a more playful friendship.

I wouldn't consider him closest with Chanyeol. They're definitely closer than they were before but not closest on par with Kai. The kind of closeness fans see is more forced from Chanyeol's side because he knows the fans eat it up. Same way he tried it with Kai but Kai didn't give him the time of day. Kyungsoo reacts pretty much the same way but fans are living in their fanfic reality so they think the excessive fanservice translates to closeness. Plus they're of the same age so the age heirarchy doesn't exist immediately. The friendship is there but I wouldn't put it higher than Suho for example. Look around, why are there so many shippers who think they're the closest? It's the same reason fans back then were swearing up and down that Kyungmyeon are the closest and then after that died down, it turned to Baeksoo being bffs. Now it's that ship and the easily swayed fans who only got to know EXO recently would see the blatant fanservice and take it at face value. Simple as that.

 

There have been so many new Kaisoo but I've been hella busy irl lately. I'll be sure to post when my schedule permits. I need to compile em all first.

I'm a fan of EXO since their debut, and i've noticed that D.O and Chanyeol are pretty close, there's a lot of evidences since 2012. I think Suho is Kyungsoo fav hyung in EXO. And honestly, BaekSoo werent that close during MAMA era.

 

Please dont take too long to post KaiSoo stuffs. This thread is so dead 😀

I'm not saying they aren't close. I even said they've gotten closer than they were before since they started to become roommates. I'm just saying they're not as close as some people are led to believe because of the shipping due to "moments" which is the same for Kyungmyeon and Baeksoo when it was them who had that kind of spotlight on them. Well who else would Kyungsoo's fave hyung be? Haha! I mean, his only choices are Suho, Xiumin and Yixing. I'm not saying Baeksoo were close during MAMA era. This was when they were promoting MiD. So what I'm saying is that fans tend to overestimate the closeness between members. Even KaiSoo falls victim to this. 

 

Lmao the thread's been so dead for a long time even though Kaisoo has been the longest running ship in the fandom. Maybe it's because they never had an "era" so to speak. They've always just been kinda there. Not on the forefront to attract too much attention but still present nonetheless. 

 

I'll post Kaisoo moments pretty soon :) In the meantime, I'll share a small Kaisoo moment during TLP that I don't think have been shared yet.

 

 

 

How to Talk Discreetly Onstage 101

by KaiSoo

 

kaisoo001.gif?type=w1

After Growl stage is the Ment part. See Jongin walk nonchalantly in the direct the other members are taking.

Oh look, Kyungsoo's so focused on Jongin he didn't notice Yixing bump his shoulder. But why?

 

kaisoo002.gif?type=w1

And why is he nodding his head?

Meanwhile, Jongin turns back and...

 

kaisoo003.gif?type=w1

... starts walking the way he came from back to his original space like nothing happened.

And Kyungsoo nods his head cutely one last time.

 

Here's bigger versions of the gifs!

 

kaisoo01.gif?type=w1

Walks casually with the others without looking at Kyungsoo.

 

kaisoo02.gif?type=w1

Makes a u-turn like heyyy I'm just passing by.

 

kaisoo03.gif?type=w1

Walks back to his place like nothing happened. Real subtle Jongin.

 

 

 

Now the huge question is, what did he tell Kyungsoo??? I'm sure you're all wondering the same thing. I mean sure, if Jongin walked over to Kyungsoo and stopped in front of him and whispered or something, I wouldn't have been curious. But nope. Dude walked like he wasn't even talking to Kyungsoo and the only reason we know he said something was because of Kyungsoo's nods. Speaking of those nods. Kyungsoo looks so cute nodding like a little kid. He's so cute here. The huge head nod to whatever Jongin said. I mean, Kyungsoo who gives no shit is always like a cute puppy when it's Jongin. Probably the reason why Kyungsoo's k-fanboys are so angry at him haha.

 

Small moments like these, the one we barely know, are what makes Kaisoo so interesting as a ship. They don't make a huge show out of their closeness. But it's so obvious that they rely on each other still.

Yeah haha! Ever since MAMA, his fanboys are like 'that jongin kid needs to lay off" etc even cursing him. They're okay with other Kyungsoo ships, it's only Jongin they seem to have a problem with. The fanboys aren't as vocal about it now though.

 

Thanks for sharing those gifs! I think it's cute how Jongin skips Yixing to ask Kyungsoo to open the bottle for him. It's not the first time it's happened. Kyungsoo's always the one who hands Jongin water bottles onstage. He normally takes two and hands Jongin one. Or they share especially when they're as K.

LOL poor jongin...

 

Well kyungsoo is jongin's caring hyung at the end of the day... I find it cute that jongin is so needy with kyungsoo, like a child with his mom...
