Chanyeol is one of the main rappers in EXO-K. He is known as the "Happy Virus" and with good reason. He is always cheerful and bright. He's doing crazy things at all moments, which you can see if you look at various fancams of him. He partner in crime is Baekhyun, and those two are always causing a ruckus. He is a huge fan of 2NE1's Dara, and when standing next to her, he was frozen in panic. While he may be a rapper at the moment, in the future, he will probably delve into acting as well.
