Kim Jong-in (Korean: 김종인; born January 14, 1994), better known by his stage name Kai (카이), is a South Korean singer, actor, and dancer. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Exo, its subunit Exo-K, and South Korean supergroup SuperM. He debuted as a soloist on November 30, 2020, with his first extended play (EP) Kai. Apart from his musical career, Kai has also starred in various television dramas such as Choco Bank (2016), Andante (2017), and Spring Has Come (2018). He is widely considered to be one of the best dancers of South Korea and K-pop,[1] and is among the most influential Korean fashion icons.[2]

Early life

Kai was born on January 14, 1994,[3] in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province, South Korea, as the youngest member of his family, with two older sisters.[4][unreliable source?] Despite his parents initially wanting him to learn Taekwondo and the piano, Kai began to train in ballet while in third grade after watching The Nutcracker,[5] and started jazz dancing when he was eight years old in the fourth grade of elementary school. His father, now deceased, was the most important benefactor of his encounter with dance, which was of great significance to his life, according to a film about his growth story featured in Gucci's 2019 project "The Performers." Kai attended high school at School of Performing Arts Seoul, from which he graduated in 2012.[6]
