hmm yeah nice try, i guess you didn't see the tweet that followed it https://twitter.com/kairisyeols/status/621493598706630656 lmao u don't learn do u

---

that tweet was a /joke/ to my /luhan stan friend/ who /joked/ i had no taste for liking a certain song. why the hell would i say something like that in seriousness - i'm chinese lmfao.

---

since you seem to know me so well, let's remember all the other stuff i've said about luhan shall we?
- saying i miss luhan
- supporting his great wall movie
- asking my friends if they wanted to go watch a luhan movie with me
- getting excited when luhan and kris met up post-exo
- when listening to exology for the first time, saying i miss luhan's voice
- when he was in exo, thanking luhan for looking out for kai

---

i'm not going to pretend he was ever my favorite member in exo but that doesn't mean i hate him.

why are you wasting time stalking the tweets of somebody you obviously don't like

PFFFFFFFFT LMAO this is the funniest thing i've read in a while, thanks

---

i am not pressed over luhan. what reason do i have to be pressed over luhan???? i supported him when he left exo (i've supported every member who's left). if you had asked if i was pressed over luhan stans, on the other hand, you'd be damn right. "lmao typical krusty stan"?? more like "lmao typical overly defensive hypocritical luhan stan." i feel bad for the other nice luhan stans who are lumped in with you.

---

you clearly don't even know the full context of my tweet so you've prematurely judged. i was having a conversation with a couple of friends talking about whose solo album would be coming out next, kris' or luhan's, and i was saying that luhan's album would probably have a lot of ballad tracks. anybody who knows me knows that i am in general not a fan of ballads, especially c-pop ones. hence an album full of ballads wouldn't be as "interesting" to me. there's no shade against luhan for that. it's even an indirect compliment of luhan because i know he's a good enough singer that he is able to sing ballads lmao.

---

in fact the tweets immediately preceding that tweet was my friend and i joking about how tacky kris' solo mv could be, a la tao's. if anything i'm throwing shade at my own bias lol -- "interesting" does not have to have a positive connotation, you know.

---

furthermore, i later even said that i would /still/ give luhan's album a chance and that i hoped that there would be at least one dance track on his album. does this sound like a pressed luhan anti to you??

---

my tweets are public so i trust you can find the receipts yourself.

---

even if the context wasn't considered, i mean, of course i would find kris' album more interesting??? I'M A KRIS STAN LMAO.

---

i hope u feel really dumb right now because u sound really salty and, well, really wrong.

consistency in live performances c: don't get me wrong, i'd be the first person who recognizes exo has come a loooooong way in their live performances. they've given some great live performances, much much much better than they used to. BUT they're not consistent about it. i think we need consistency especially from the main vocal line because... well, they're the backbone of any live performance! if they're not consistent, who can we depend on to be? when vocal line are on point, they sound amazing; and yeah, i do not expect perfection every single time (they are human!) but i think we really need to work on minimizing the voice cracks, off notes, straining of voices, etc.

---

i also think they need to work on synchronizing their dance. this has been true since day one and unfortunately they're still pretty out of sync most of the time lol.

---

i think that's an unfair generalized statment to say about kai c: i immediately thought of kai performing "run" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf8MNsQuEQ0) -- a song that doesn't have a dance but he visibly enjoys performing this song a lot (and he sings live, might i add!!). "promise" also comes to mind, he gets very passionate in that one. i think we can agree that he typically enjoys the performances with choreo, though haha.

ahhhh so hard!!! honestly i love xscapes' photos. currently one of my favorite kai fansites, i think. xscape has released some pretty great photos recently, and they're all so gloriously hq *A*. but it's hard to say whether xscape's goods would turn out nice since this is their first photobook, there is nothing previous to judge on...!

---

some people say trust your first instinct -- and my first instinct, when i saw each fansite's teasers, is that oaokai's teasers were way more interesting and appealing. i'm on a hard fast no-buy for photobooks for the rest of the year but once i saw oaokai's teasers i was like !!! SO TEMPTED !!! imo oaokai's goods and designs are pretty unique and fun -- their first photobook was so fun to look through, i thought. what i loved about it is that she put so many details, comments, and focal points in the photobook that you could tell the fansite master was a really enthusiastic kai stan. she loved the things about jongin that we love about jongin, and she wasn't shy about pointing all of those things out in the photobook. this was facilitated by the fact that the layout of most pages were very creative; not just photos slapped on the page, but carefully arranged and cropped to tell a story (and probably took the fansite master more time to plan everything out -- a good thing!). if you look at oaokai's "page preview" for the second photobook, it's going to be the same effort of design: http://www.kaiwonderland.com/#!pagepreview/cwfi

---

the drawback of oaokai's goods is that it's a bit of a gamble... are all of the designs A+++? maybe not. oaokai's photos aren't /always/ hq; in this point, xscape seems more consistent. also, quality of materials is sometimes hit or miss? oaokai's first photobook was called a "photo magazine" and it had, as the name suggested, thin magazine paper. quite a few people were disappointed by this, i think. this time oaokai is calling golden venus an "art book." i have no idea what this means lolololol (though on the notice oaokai said "paper is similar to die jungs but thicker" so that suggests quality is like an actual art book) but ig my point is that oaokai puts out products that can be unexpected.

---

i think if you're looking for a "standard" but (probably) high quality photobook, i'd go with xscape. idt you can go wrong with xscape (their notice/mini site looks great, their photos are great, i expect the output to be great as well) but if you put the xscape photobook in a lineup of photobooks, would it jump out at you? again, hard to say, since i haven't seen any previous xscape goods to compare, but i have a hunch the answer is probably not. however, if you're only going to buy one/very few kai photobooks, perhaps getting something "normal" is a good thing (and it's $5 cheaper than oaokai!). but if you're looking for something more fun and don't mind a little risk or that it might not be the same format as a usual photobook (A4 size, 200 page, etc etc), go for oaokai!
