• Musical star Kai shows off his no-smartphone lifestyle and cozy artsy home — here’s what his daily life really looks like

    Musical actor Kai is winning hearts with his peaceful and low-tech lifestyle!

    On the May 16 episode of MBC’s Home Alone, Kai gave fans a special look into his personal life, showing off his unique daily routine inside his artsy home.

    Known for his powerful voice and stage presence, Kai showed a completely different side of himself — as a calm and thoughtful man who loves books and avoids screens.

    Wearing colorful floral pajamas, Kai started his day by greeting his adorable cat named “Tenor.” But what really caught viewers’ attention was what he did next — instead of reaching for his phone, Kai sat down and read a paper newspaper!

    He shared that he carefully reads every section, including politics, economy, and even the ads. He even cuts out interesting articles to keep for later.

    Kai also spends his free time reading books. “Smartphones show me things I didn’t choose to see,” he said. “They just make people unhappy.” He added that he avoids using his phone whenever possible, and plans to share more tips on how to stay offline.

    When talking about his home, Kai said, “It’s not a perfectly designed place. It’s just filled with things I love. That’s what makes it feel warm.” Fans were impressed by the calm and artistic vibes of his space.

    Kai also showed parts of his life as a musical actor, including doing “vocal cord stretching” while sitting at his piano, and following a super-detailed schedule to manage his health. His planned and organized routine, which he joked is a “power J” lifestyle, gave viewers a peek into how seriously he takes his work and well-being.

    Fans can watch Kai’s relaxing and inspiring daily life on Home Alone, which aired on May 16 at 11:10 p.m. KST.
