Netizens have seemingly spotted an unexpected app on EXO Kai‘s phone.
Kai recently appeared on KODE‘s YouTube channel for their Self-On series alongside NCT WISH‘s Yushi. Yushi is a big fan of the idol, so many fans were excited to see the two interact on camera.
The show features the two participants chatting on the phone as they attempt to guess the other’s identity. At one point, the two exchange screenshots of their home screen and the apps on it.
Yushi receives screenshots of Kai’s and comments on the number of games he has on them.
Fans were very interested in the idol’s apps, so a reposting to X (formerly Twitter), quickly gained over 2.3 million views.

However, some couldn’t help but point out one app in particular that many seemed to miss.
In the top left corner, under the shopping category, an app with a white background appearing to feature a black logo can be seen.
Some have compared this app to the app Hinge, a dating app used around the world, even in countries where the app store does not have it available.
While it is not clear if this is actually the case, many have commented their believe in so, finding comedy in the situation.
even kai’s on hinge i give up 💔 https://t.co/8JL1eUuUo7

However, some have offered another explanation, pointing to the shopping app Farfetched. This app sports a similar logo, and the design is what could be covered by Kai’s notifications.
don’t wanna break it to you guys but what y’all think is hinge it’s not, hinge isn’t even available on the korean appstore sorry (but it would’ve been funny tho) https://t.co/lv7zCcaXrc pic.twitter.com/3Nk2HodYcv

Whether or not it is a dating app, there is something that is more pressing than anything else — the number of notifications.
