"World-class performer" EXO's Kai (affiliated with SME) successfully completed his first solo concert.

'2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOUR

's Seoul concert, which kicked off the '2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOUR' (2025 Kai Solo Concert Tour ), was held at the Seoul Olympic Park Handball Arena on May 17-18 and recorded a sell-out in advance with over 9,000 spectators over the two days, confirming Kai's strong ticket power.

In particular, the concert title "KAION" means "the eternal beginning of Kai on stage," and Kai noted, "I prepared with the earnest desire for all the EXO-Ls to love every stage. I hope they gain confidence that 'this is why I love Kai,' 'my true dopamine is Kai,' by showing that Kai has returned. Let's not go anywhere and be together forever."

This performance was organized to showcase Kai's solo discography accumulated since 2020 through diverse "world-class" performances, effectively expressing Kai's broad "charm spectrum" utilizing the design of the main stage, which was shaped like "KAI," presenting a stage that is "more than perfect" by balancing restraint and explosion, freshness and sexiness, intensity and tenderness.

Kai showcased the stage of his fourth mini-album, released on April 21, which gained global popularity, including "Wait On Me," "Adult Swim," "Walls Don't Talk," and "Pressure," as well as past solo album tracks like "Mmmh," "Ride Or Die," "Reason," "Hello Stranger," and "Domino." He presented an EXO medley styled in Kai's manner, including his solo track "Confession" performed at EXO concerts and "My Lady," "Baby Don't Cry," alongside "너의 세상으로 (Angel)" which garnered enthusiastic responses.

In addition, the performance featured a graceful solo dance in front of a massive mirror set, alongside group choreography with 16 dancers in "Sinner," a restrained sensuality on a moving slope lift in "Slidin'," the sweet charm shown while standing on a tilted turntable structure in "Peaches," a powerful performance harmonized with laser effects in "Bomba," and visualized rhythmic typography inside a giant LED screen in "Rover," delivering a thrilling "Kai-style dopamine" to the audience with a total of 23 sensuous stages.

Fans packed the audience dressed in a dress code of "camouflage military" look, and after each performance, they delivered warm applause. They even caught Kai off guard during a surprise photo time by shouting, "Jongin, I love you," and created unforgettable memories by singing along to the closing song, "To Be Honest," with Kai.

Wrapping up the Seoul concert, Kai said, "I felt some fear since it was my first solo concert, but I thought of the EXO-Ls whenever it became difficult. Standing in front of you gives me strength and happiness. I sincerely thank the EXO-Ls who took precious time to come here and wish to give them applause. Let's meet again next time."

Meanwhile, Kai will continue the tour in 10 Asian regions, including Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Jakarta, Singapore, Taipei, Manila, Bangkok, Yokohama, and Hong Kong, including the Seoul concert.
