EXO members Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun drew attention with their striking looks and deadpan humor during a short live broadcast. On Mnet's M Countdown, where they showed the same beauty and skill along with love for fans, they also displayed humor in small fan interactions, making them even more eye-catching.
On the 22nd, EXO performed the title song "Crown" from their eighth studio album "Reverse" on Mnet's "M Countdown" for the first time since the showcase. With powerful choreography and a dense trap beat, EXO still showed the majestic, heart-throbbing presence that defines them. Not only the stage, song and outfits, but EXO themselves brought the same looks they had flaunted throughout their prime since debut, proving the saying "what energizes fans is idols' faces and skills."
That day Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun started an Instagram Live from Kai's account. They met fans while waiting to record the show. Constantly communicating with fans through their personal accounts and paid interactions between practice sessions, they once again showed how happy they are simply to be active.
Sitting down on the floor, they greeted fans with hand gestures as they watched the video, and the sight of Chanyeol's face—so handsome it seemed unreal with hair falling innocently over his forehead—Kai, whose age is impossible to guess, and Sehun, whose pale face and quirky side yet princely features were all captured together, brought another smile.
Chanyeol and Kai looked intently at the camera while Sehun held it, and they tried to interact with fans. The viral moment came when Sehun, holding the camera, moved it around and applied filters with flashy motions to find selfie angles. Watching themselves on screen, Chanyeol asked, "Why do our faces look like that? Is a filter on?" Sehun replied, "Looks like it?" and ruthlessly tilted the camera angle.
Chanyeol then asked, "Why is the midface area so long?" and when the filter was turned off he caused an online stir with the appearance comment, "So it's just long."
Fans reacted variously, saying, "What's long about it!", "Having a face born 14 years ago and rigorously maintained is the team's color", "When will Park Chanyeol stop being funny, Charlie Charlie?", "No one gets hurt, it's a truly all-members handsome group", "Even in romance fantasy, how is the lead role's face still like a twenty-five-year-old?", "The culprit is Oh Se-hoon. Try changing the camera angle a bit", "Jong-in said the uncle who hikes takes better photos", "The Oh Se-hun I saw at the music show looks different", "Oh Se-hun, that's the angle my home cam shows my dog" and so on.
Meanwhile, EXO released their eighth studio album "Reverse" on the 19th.
