• Kris‘ method of taking care of skin is to drink lots of water and to at least get 8 hours of sleep every day

• Kris may “look like the bad man” or “dangerous guy” of EXO-M, according to s, for the reason that he is too handsome and sometimes has a “sinister laugh.” Lay has stated that after knowing Kris for a long time, you will realize that he is actually a very warm-hearted man and that he looks after all of the members very well as a leader.

He knows about every member’s life habits, even the number of times that they have changed their hostel rooms. Kris knows that Lay likes to sleep on the hard floors in the living room. Lay said that the reason for this is that it’s cooler in the living room and because of the change in environment, he is able dream a different dream. Sometimes Kris would join him.
• Kris is like a spiritual mentor/counselor, according to Lay. If the members face something, they will talk to him.

• Kris doesn’t like eating fish even though he knows that it’s good for one’s health

[Fanaccount] 121115 At the check-in counter for Seoul, there was a group of tourists who were in front of Kris. He looked like he was more agitated than the fans themselves, who were all taking pictures of him using their cellphones. Some of the fans were worried for him, so they suggested that he go to the front of the line. He turned around and told the fans that it was alright, and that they shouldn't worry. When he got off the plane at Incheon airport, he knew that fans would be taking pictures of him. So he avoided the automated moving walkways on purpose, and let the fans photograph him. A fan joked "Walk slower..", but Kris really listened to her and did so accordingly. Then he asked while laughing "Is this slow enough?". He was so considerate to all the photographers.

Btw, KRISTIANITY IS REAL!

It's funny how Amber smacked Kris in the 3rd gif xDD
