A modern romcom? Fans play matchmaker between introverts EXO Kai and SF9 Yoo Taeyang
https://instagram.com/p/Cpu68jGpNDy
SF9 Yoo Taeyang is a known EXO and in particular Kai fan. For years, he's been one of the first to post dance covers of new songs released by EXO and Kai. So yesterday, about 6 hours after Kai's comeback 'Rover' was released, Taeyang posted his Rover cover (above). Kai reposted the cover, wrote a comment "Let's do it together hehe" with Taeyang responding "Yes, please contact me whenever!"
And this is where the introverts' stress began, witnessed live by fans online thanks to the private messaging apps Bubble and Fromm both idols use to communicate with fans. In the end, fans had to serve as matchmakers between the two introverts.
A summary of the exchange Taeyang and Kai had with their fans, sharing their anxieties about how to make the first move.
