EXO member Kai has opened up about how the pandemic impacted his life as a musician.In a new interview with Esquire Korea, the K-pop idol discussed his relationship with music and performing, revealing that he had had a “difficult time” in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the singer had been busy with several releases — including EXO’s ‘Don’t Fight The Feeling’ and his own solo mini-album ‘Peaches’, Kai shared that he had found himself feeling “bored”.“Without that joy [of performing on stage], it has been really hard,” he said, as translated by Soompi. “Last year was probably the busiest year of my life.
But even in that busy time, I felt bored.

But that’s not it. The biggest happiness for a singer is singing to someone. I’ve realised how important it is to have someone there,” reflected the idol.“When I release a song, I can see how many people have listened to it.
But there’s a completely different joy when I’m on stage,” he explained. “When I’m on stage singing and dancing and see the crowd singing along to my songs, there’s a real joy in that.”Last November, Kai made his solo comeback with his mini-album ‘Peaches’, along with a dreamy music video for its lead single of the same name. At a press conference for the release, the idol had shared that recording the album had not been a “relaxed process”.“It took some time because we needed
