In addition to this, he is one of the idols chosen by his junior idols as their role model.
Along with his dancing skills, Kai has good, dulcet vocals and perfect sync and impression to music that the song becomes one with him, regardless of the genre when he starts to perform.

Fans are giving applause to SM Entertainment for its witty way of giving hints to upcoming schedules of its artists, just like how they do with Aespa's debut, hinting their release through SuperM's "One (Monster & Inifinity)" and NCT U's "Make A Wish" MV.
