On April 17, 2025, EXO's Kai made headlines online after he playfully added CGI filters on a fan he met in his Jeongwaja episode 84. In the recent episode, a segment featuring a barefaced fan was humorously edited with an exaggerated beauty filter, leading to a cascade of witty and affectionate reactions from the EXO-L community.
The episode in question showcased a candid interaction between Kai and a fan who appeared without makeup. The fan requested Kai to blur her face on camera as she was barefaced or apply any filter on her face to hide it.
In a playful twist, the production team applied over-the-top funny filters to the fan's face during editing, resulting in a comically distorted yet endearing image. The juxtaposition of the fan's natural appearance with the exaggerated cartoonish filters sparked immediate amusement among viewers.
