EXO's Kai was at a loss for how to respond to NCT WISH's Yoo Shi's sincerity.
On the 15th, the 'Cellphone KODE' video featuring 'The SM junior that drives me crazy? EXO Kai & NCT WISH Yoo Shi' was released on the KODE CODE YouTube channel.
It is a format where the two exchange messages without knowing each other's identities. Although Kai was curious about what to say about the other person, he used his characteristic kindness to take the lead in the conversation. Kai noted, "If I shout, it disappears. It's really frustrating. Is the Wi-Fi not working? What is the MBTI?" expressing his curiosity about the other person.
Yoo Shi was making his first solo variety show appearance and was a foreigner. Yoo Shi replied eagerly, "I'm ISFJ. What about the MBTI?"
Kai said, "It feels a bit like a crush. Waiting for a reply, waiting for a message, and feeling disappointed if the message isn't the length I hoped for makes it feel like I'm in love. Who are you, huh?" while laughing and teasing the other person. From sharing playlists to favorite videos, Kai sent a video explaining the reason behind why turtles have shells.
At the same time, Kai said, "It felt like soon I would know the location of their house. I thought maybe they are a trainee with less than 2 years. I wondered if I should be persistent, but I held back thinking the production team's faces might darken," as he began to deduce the other person's identity almost accurately. The other person eagerly shared their playlists, all of which were related to EXO.
Furthermore, regarding the disclosure of childhood photos, Yoo Shi sent a baby photo taken with the life-size cutout of EXO's Kai, which is famous on the internet. Kai asked, "Who is your favorite?" then earnestly pleaded, "Don't say me. I beg you. Please talk about anyone but me," but as he stated, "Why am I this nervous? It feels like the time of the award announcement," his anxious feelings were spot-on. Yoo Shi's favorite was Kai. Kai stated, "They are a foreigner, haven't debuted for 2 years, and most importantly, I've heard that they like me. I have someone in mind that I suspect is them," expressing confidence in identifying Yoo Shi.
Finally, when the two met face-to-face, they awkwardly hugged and conversed with warmth, not as singer to singer, but as a singer to a true fan.
