part of @kpopandkimchi 's Bias Week schedule~
Ahhh, Jongdae
Back around when I first got into exo (2014, sometime after Luhan had left ;-;) my bias was constantly changing. It started off with Kris, did some crazy loop with Sehun, Suho, and Kai, before landing on Chanyeol. I was really into Chanyeol for a few months up until May-June of 2015. At that time I was leaning more towards Xiumin but, as always, Xiumin and Chen are a package deal, you can't have one with the other.
SO, after watching showtime for the upteenth time, I started to realize how precious and caring Jongdae is, how loud and funny he is and how many times he's almost made me go deaf from his yelling lmao
But it also made me realize how selfless and kind he is, how he almost never cries so he can take care of his members, and also how he's sadly so very underappreciated. It broke my heart watching videos and fancams, seeing all of those signs and only 3 or 4 of them saying "Chen" on them, or how all of the members would have the fans screaming loudly, but when it came to Chen or Xiumin the crowd wouldn't be as loud as they were with the others. Despite all of that, he still appreciated the fans and loved them, even if they didn't love him as much as he loved them.
He's such a playful precious soul who just wants the world to be a happy place and who smiles no matter what's thrown at him. Sure his handsome looks and beautiful singing is a bonus to having him as a bias, but the reason I love him so much is because he appreciates everything and everyone in life no matter what, he never has anything negative to say and will defend the people he loves with his life. He's the type of person that once he loves you, he'll love you for life, and its so beautiful to see how much love he just has to share.
