[1] [2] [3]
Name/Nickname: Kai
Age: 19
Likes: culture, social psychology, red wine, tea, hot yoga, writing and literature, CSS coding, underground k-hiphop/rap, indie music, k-pop, fashion (thrifting), trying lots of different food and exploring my city, art galleries, south asian (thai, malaysian, etc) food
Dislikes: homophobia, racism, meat, the cold, close-mindedness, traditionalism to a certain extent, horror/gore films!!
Hobbies: Learning new languages (Korean and French so far... I want to learn Japanese and Norwegian as well :D), writing, swimming, yoga, thrift shopping, graphic/web design, trying to learn how to beatbox (and failing miserably), wine tasting
Strong points: I think my strongest point would probably be my empathy, and my open-mindedness. I listen well, I think.
Weak points: I'm awkward around most people when I meet them, so I either clam up or end up with severe verbal spewing. I'm also pretty indecisive!
Future goals?: I'm planning on finishing my Bachelor's at uni with a major in biopsychology and possibly a Korean language minor... I ultimately want to live a happy and healthy life in all aspects! I'd love to travel around the world.
What do you think is the best quality about yourself? Why?: I try to see the best in everything and everyone, because I think almost everyone deserves it.
What do you think is the worst quality about yourself? Why?: I'm incredibly, incredibly indecisive. It gets in the way of a lot of things, life decisions as well as little things, and I have no idea how to improve it.
If there was one thing you would change about the world, what would it be? Why?: Tolerance of others' differences. Not that we shouldn't acknowledge and appreciate differences, but I wish people would be less quick to judge others based on their physical appearance or familial/cultural background. I know that it happens reflexively - we categorize others because creating a whole other set of qualities for each and every person we come across is too much work for our brains - and that even I do it myself, but I'd still like to see this changed.
If there was one thing you would change about yourself, what would it be?: I'm tempted to say my indecisiveness, but my laziness would have to win out :P I tend to want to do a lot of things and just... not end up doing them... but I'm working to change that :P
Let your inner fangirl out. Answer this question by gushing about your favorite SHINee member. (If you don't fangirl, say so. If it’s explicit, bold a warning beforehand.): Onew! I love how cute and funny he is, but I also love how he tries so hard to be a leader to SHINee and how sometimes it doesn't seem like it shows but it does, in some little things. He's a leader in his own way, and it's something completely unique to him :) I also love how he's finally starting to look his age lately!! Haha.
On the flip side, who’s your least favorite SHINee member? Why? (Try to be a little nice; your least favorite is probably someone’s favorite.): Hmm, I don't think I have a 'least favourite'... I think they're all endearing in their own way. If I had to choose, the one I like the least would probably be either Jonghyun or Minho? Though I've been finding Jonghyun to be really endearing lately.
What’s your favorite SHINee pairing (if you have one)?: I'm not a huge fan of any of the pairings as they are in fandom, but I do have a soft spot for Onew/Taemin interactions, and I think Key/Minho would work out so well in real life! Their personalities seem really compatible to me.
If you could be a SHINee member for a day, who member would you be? Why?: Maybe Key? He seems like a really interesting person... someone you could either love or hate. Then again... it would be fun to be Jonghyun too, and know how to play the guitar.. properly.. and to compose songs (haha this is my indecision at play)
Favorite color?: Yellow! It's sunny and bright and happy.
Favorite movie? Why?: Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain) - the storyline and cinematography and colours are so whimsical and beautiful and child-like, I could watch it over and over again and not tire of it. My other favourite is probably Iron Man, because Robert Downey Jr. is somehow amazingly attractive and I expected the regular old comic-turned-movie kind of film and just fell in love with it instead.
Favorite saying/quote?: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." - from The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald... my favourite book ♥ :D
If you were an animal, which would you be, and why?: A platypus, because they're semi-aquatic and get to swim as well as totter around a bit on land and look so adorable but they also have spurs in their hind feet. Though only males have the venom, so that's kind of fitting - I don't think I could intentionally cause anyone pain haha.
If you were a dessert, which would you be, and why?: Chocolate fondue with fruit bits and biscuits and ice cream balls! Lots of variety, haha.
High, medium, or low energy?: I think I can be all three depending on the situation! But I think I tend to be more of a medium-low energy person.
Impulsive or cautious?: Definitely cautious.
Mature or Immature?: I like to think mature, but there are plenty of immature times :P
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: Optimistic, I think? 3/4 optimistic?
Touchy feely or not?: Not reeally! But I do love hugs and things like that, I just don't tend to be all over others.
Leader or follower?: Follower... I'm probably to indecisive to be a leader.
Any pets? Tell us about them!: None
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?: I don't really do anything 'crazy', to be honest haha. Or nothing really comes to mind for me... though the most extreme thing I've done is cross the border to Seattle (I live in Canada) and wait for 6 hours in the sun for an Epik High concert. ... not that extreme, haha.
It's Saturday night. You have no obligations, a pocket full of cash, and time to kill. Where can you be found?: Either staying at home, just relaxing with tea or something yummy and a book/notebook and pen/laptop - because, no obligations! Or going out to eat in one of the many pubs and eateries in my city that I haven't been yet :D
Some random stranger hugs you from behind. How do you react?: I would probably freeze and then hug back warily if they don't appear to be groping me/looking for cash on my person, lol.
You’ve been called on to be an actor/actress in a TV drama. What kind/genre of drama would you want to do? Why?: Action (leaping off burning buildings! Car chases!) or ridiculously serious drama, simply because I'd never do anything like that in real life.
You're onstage... when you have a wardrobe malfunction. What do you do?: Fix it as best (and inconspicuously) as I can and keep performing (while inside I would be burning with embarrassment...)
