The first thing emphasized by Kai to his younger self in the past is the importance of health. In addition, he also mentioned how he should have been more cheerful in the past.

"I would tell my past self to take care and stay healthy because health is very important!" said Kai, as quoted from Koreaboo.

2. Trying Too Hard

Since Kai was only eighteen years old when EXO debuted in 2012, his youth was spent on training as a trainee to debut soon. However, Kai hopes that his past self did not try too hard and took time to enjoy life.

"I would also tell him not to be too hard on himself and enjoy the journey as a young teenager. This is the time to have fun and try various things!" he continued.

3. Skipping Teenage Years

Kai admits that he couldn't experience things that regular teenagers go through because he was pursuing his idol dream. This aspect is something Kai regrets as an adult.

"At that time, I was very focused on my career and working to make my dream come true, so I didn't spend much time doing 'ordinary teenage experiences', which I hope I could do more of!" said the idol born in 1994.

4. Sacrifices

Among the many opportunities Kai received, such as performing worldwide for concerts and becoming a model for luxury world-class brands, it can't be compared to the experiences he never had when he was young.

When watching idols on stage, it's easy to overlook what they miss compared to ordinary people. Kai briefly gives an insight into the memories and things they will never experience without the spotlight shining on them as an idol.
