Today, let's find out everything EXO-L has discovered about Chanyeol.

 

 

---

Chanyeol is the tallest member of EXO. His real name is Park Chan-yeol, and he was born on November 27, 1992, in Korea. Standing at an impressive height of 185cm, he weighs 70kg and has a lean figure like Sehun. Interestingly, he wears a shoe size of 290mm. Chanyeol's blood type is A, and he has an older sister who is three years his senior. He is known to have two dogs named 박토 벤 and 짜르. Additionally, his religion is Protestant, and he completed his military service in the Army on September 28, 2022. In EXO, he is a member of the EXO-K subunit and serves as the main rapper and sub-vocalist.

 

 

 

Chanyeol is a positive, active, and playful individual who doesn't get angry easily. Thanks to his cheerful personality, he plays a crucial role in communicating well with the stage staff, making him an essential member of EXO. According to reports, he takes on responsibilities, such as grocery shopping and cooking, even when he is exhausted from a busy schedule. He is known to shed tears frequently, just like Kai.

 

In times of sadness or fatigue, Chanyeol lifts the spirits of his fellow members, even during car rides. He excels at fan service during offline events like concerts and fan meetups, and shares a love for animals with Kai. Chanyeol comes across as a caring and considerate member.

 

 

He has a handsome and pretty boy image and is often seen smiling. However, there's said to be a notable contrast between his smiling face and his expressionless demeanor, emitting a strong sense of coldness when he shows no emotions.

 

Before his debut with EXO, Chanyeol was already known as a handsome SM trainee, gaining popularity in his high school as well. As mentioned earlier, his height of 185cm makes him the tallest member of EXO. Over the course of his debut, he transformed his initially skinny frame into a more well-proportioned body with broad shoulders through regular workouts.

 

 

Chanyeol's interest in music and playing instruments stems from his childhood, influenced by his father. Besides playing the violin, he learned to play the guitar, bass, drums, and even beatbox while being part of a band. Despite being an idol, his musical talents extend beyond the K-pop genre, showcasing a diverse range of interests and abilities.

 

 

In addition to his musical talents, Chanyeol is also deeply interested in writing lyrics and composing music. He actively engages with fans about music on platforms like Instagram, where he often shares updates about his studio and work. Chanyeol has even formed his own composition team and is dedicatedly pursuing his musical endeavors, including writing lyrics for EXO's songs.

 

As part of the duo with Sehun, he has contributed to writing lyrics and producing all the songs on their album, showcasing his immense ambition and passion for music. As the main rapper, Chanyeol mainly handles the low to mid-pitch rap parts in the group's songs.

 

 

Despite his tall and handsome appearance, Chanyeol has acknowledged that he feels a little lacking in rhythm when dancing due to his long arms and legs. Dancing is considered his weakness, but it doesn't diminish his overall musical talents.

 

Before his debut, Chanyeol aspired to be a model and won a silver award in a school uniform modeling contest during his student days. However, he received a casting offer from SM Entertainment and embarked on his journey as a trainee. Though initially more interested in musical instruments and dreaming of being part of a band, he faced challenges at SM Entertainment and became frustrated. 

 

 

Ultimately, he shifted his focus to hip-hop, a genre he was also passionate about, and pursued a career as a rapper. Despite this change, he has expressed a wish to someday form a band within SM Entertainment as a project team.

 

Interestingly, Chanyeol has a talent for repairing electronics and often fixes things himself when they break in his bedroom. He is also known to be an active user of Instagram, especially during downtimes, where he regularly communicates with fans by sharing photos and updates about his current situation. Moreover, he is regarded as the most proficient member in the Japanese language among the EXO members.

 

 

Chanyeol has mentioned D.O several times as the member he gets along with the best. They have been close since before their debut and share many cherished memories together. Interestingly, Chanyeol's distinctive feature, his pointy ears, used to be a source of stress for him in his childhood. However, he now values them the most and considers them his charming point.

 

Prior to his debut, Chanyeol would use tape and cover his ears with hair to hide them. Despite his cute and graceful appearance, he has a surprisingly deep voice that often shocks people when they hear it for the first time. This is why he typically handles the mid-low pitch rap parts in EXO's songs.

 

 

Chanyeol enjoys basketball, bowling, and snowboarding, and when it comes to Chinese cuisine, he likes mapo tofu and hot pot. Additionally, he is a big fan of webtoons, and his musical preferences include rock bands like Coldplay from the UK and the famous Japanese band X-Japan.

 

As an admirer of Japanese artists and actors, Chanyeol might have naturally come to study Japanese due to his interest in Japanese culture.

 

 

He is aware of his handsome looks and often uses them humorously with his fans. Surprisingly, Chanyeol was once the most followed Instagram celebrity in Korea, boasting over 24 million followers at one point.

 

One of the biggest concerns in Chanyeol's life was deciding whether to accept SM Entertainment's casting offer. It must have been a challenging decision for him, especially considering his background as a student in the band club with aspirations of becoming a model. However, as he became a superstar in the end, he likely believes he made the right choice.

 

 

Chanyeol's greatest fear is said to be the dentist. On his right arm, he proudly displays a tattoo of the phrase "L-1485," where "L" represents the fan club, EXO-L, and "1485" signifies EXO-L's founding anniversary on August 5, 2014. He never forgets this anniversary and celebrates it every year. Finally, his motto in life is "enjoy life."
