EXO’s Kai Expresses Gratitude Toward College Student, Generating Buzz Among Netizens

EXO’s Kai had a wild moment getting recognized… but not for who he thought.

Kai visited Kyungbok University’s Clinical Laboratory Science Department recently. He asked some students questions. One student recognized him from his show with DinDin.

But the recognition didn’t go as expected.

The student remembered Kai… as “the person standing next to Jang Wonyoung!”

Kai couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that. Instead of being known as EXO’s Kai, he was just “the guy next to Wonyoung.”

The video they talked about showed Kai and Wonyoung doing military training. It got popular online because of Wonyoung.

Here’s that awkward moment caught on video:

Netizens had fun with Kai’s reaction:

“So cute”
“The guy next to Jang Wonyoung lol”
“Lmao”
“Lol”
“Flustered? Lol”
“LOL”

Kai’s surprising encounter shows even big stars can get overshadowed sometimes.
