EXO members Suho and Kai recently appeared on the YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung,' hosted by Big Bang's Daesung, where they discussed trending new slang and shared behind-the-scenes stories from award show performances, showcasing their exceptional love for fans.
The video titled 'The Universe's Big Bang and the Emergence of Superpowers... It's Going to Be Fun' was uploaded on Daesung's channel. In the video, Daesung asked Suho and Kai if they were familiar with the meme 'We Are One Cheohaja,' which combines EXO's official slogan 'We Are One' with the phrase 'Cheohaja,' meaning 'let's be together.' Kai acknowledged the expression, noting that fans began using it again to strengthen the bond that had faded during their six-year hiatus, bringing laughter to the conversation.
They also reminisced about their performance at the 'MMA 2025' held last December. Suho expressed his feelings, saying, 'Even though it wasn't an EXO solo concert, hearing so many fans sing along made me realize how much they had been waiting for us.'
Kai shared, 'Despite being in our 14th year since debut, I was nervous because it had been a while since our last award show, but I approached it with the mindset of enjoying the stage happily.' Suho explained that EXO's absence from the agency's group photo was because they had no plans for awards or official activities and intended to quietly deliver a special stage for fans.
Kai emphasized that their main purpose for attending the award show was 'solely for EXO-Ls,' using a playful expression to show his affection for fans by saying, 'I went out to protect my girls and boost their spirits.' He also revealed that during the after-party, Suho, in high spirits, drank soju and beer, cried, and even kissed Chanyeol, which embarrassed Suho. Daesung jokingly commented on Suho's habit of expressing gratitude when drunk, calling it a tiring style.
Meanwhile, Suho and Kai introduced their 8th full-length album's title track, 'Crown,' announcing their return with a powerful SMP song. Kai humorously mentioned that he would continue using his teleportation superpower, which he has been responsible for over 14 years, and stressed the importance of staying united with 'We Are One Cheohaja.'
Suho pointed out D.O. as the member with the power of strength, showcasing an unexpected side. Kai added warmth by sincerely confessing that performing on stage with the members makes him genuinely happy, even when he has to immerse himself in the concept.
