EXO's Chanyeol has recently garnered attention through two distinct activities: preparing Chuseok lunchboxes for SM Entertainment staff and participating in a past life regression video. These events highlight his personal engagement and emotional depth, creating buzz among fans and the public.
On September 23rd, Chanyeol's YouTube channel "Channel Chanyeol" featured him making 30 Chuseok lunchboxes, including heart-shaped fish cakes, donggeurangttaeng, and jumeokbap, for SM staff members. He humorously mentioned Kai and Sehun while struggling with the cooking volume. Separately, on September 21st, EXO's official YouTube channel released "ChanKai's Back to the Past Life," where Chanyeol, initially skeptical of hypnosis, became emotional during a past life regression, recalling a soldier's life and crying over a dog resembling his own middle school pet.
Bloggers noted that Chanyeol's Chuseok gift was a meaningful gesture of appreciation towards his colleagues. Regarding the past life regression, one blogger interpreted Chanyeol's intense emotional reaction as a psychological expression of his deep attachments, particularly to his military service experiences and his pets, rather than a mystical past life memory. Viewers are advised to watch the "ChanKai's Back to the Past Life" video at 1.25x speed with subtitles to fully appreciate Chanyeol's emotional changes and Kai's reactions.
