Jongin is fulfilling his promise to himself and it is "SHOW MY TRUE ME" Let's remember how I reject various programs for fear that people would not like something other than "Kai EXO BAD BOY" the times he shouted I wanted to do something different than #KAI EXO +#KAI_IS_COMING pic.twitter.com/VD6S9yPo25
