*Do take note for the nicknames given to Kris, I have tried my best to translate it to English. Because these nicknames have a different context in Chinese and in English, I have kept the original pronunciation like hanyu pinyin of some of the Chinese words. And, some of the words are directly translated from Chinese to English.

Sometimes, I hope to do a compilation of nicknames for all of EXO’s members so as to educate you guys on how they are being called in the Chinese community. :D
