The Rise and Shine of EXO's Sehun: A Journey from Childhood to Stardom
The Discovery of a Star
Sehun's journey to fame is like a script from a movie. As a young boy, he was enjoying tteokbokki (a popular Korean street food) near his school when casting managers from SM Entertainment approached him. Initially hesitant because his mother had advised against sharing her number with strangers, Sehun eventually relented after persistent requests. This moment marked the beginning of his path to becoming a member of EXO, one of the most renowned K-pop groups globally.

Musical Evolution: From Rapper to Vocalist
In EXO, Sehun's primary role has been as the lead rapper, often exchanging parts with main rapper Chanyeol. For a long time, he was known for his rap parts in the group's title tracks. However, in 2015, Sehun showcased his vocal abilities in the single 'Sing For You.' His talent continued to grow, as seen in the 2017 winter release 'Universe,' and his solo performance of "A Go" at the concert [The ElyXiOn], highlighting his evolving skills.

A High-Tone Rapper and Main Dancer
Sehun stands out as the group's almost exclusive high-tone rapper and main dancer. His dance in the pre-debut release 'History' is particularly famous, showcasing his clean lines and controlled movements. Sehun was also the center for the dance break in EXO's hit song 'Growl,' known for his powerful moves using body recoil and waist strength, with a signature one-kick move.

The Charm of the Youngest: Aegyo and More
As the youngest member of EXO, Sehun has embraced his role, often responsible for displaying aegyo (cute charm). While he might be known for standard aegyo gestures like 'bbuing bbuing' and 'Gwiyomi Player,' Sehun unexpectedly radiates cuteness in day-to-day interactions, often surprising even himself. Though he fits well into the youngest role, he admits that having to constantly display aegyo on broadcasts is a bit of a challenge for him.

Visual and Sweet Tooth
Sehun is renowned for his striking visuals, often ranked at the top among EXO members for his good looks. He is frequently mentioned by fans and even other idols' fan page managers as one of the most handsome idols in real life. Additionally, Sehun has a sweet tooth, with a particular love for chocolate in any form, such as chocolate cake, chocolate milk, and chocolate bubble tea. Interestingly, he shows a rather amusing expression when he drinks Americano, indicating his preference for sweets. Fellow member Baekhyun also mentioned that Sehun enjoys jelly.

Sehun's journey from a young boy eating street food to a key member of EXO is both inspiring and remarkable. His evolution as an artist, his unique talents in rapping and dancing, and his charismatic personality make him a standout figure in the K-pop industry.
