EXO’s dynamic performer, KAI, has officially launched his highly anticipated solo concert tour, “KAION,” with two phenomenal, sold-out shows in Seoul on May 17 and 18 at the Olympic Handball Gymnasium.
After a two-year military enlistment, KAI’s return to the stage was met with immense enthusiasm, and his performances left an indelible mark on EXO-L (EXO fans). The buzz from these initial shows confirms that KAI is back and more captivating than ever.
KAI, known for his captivating stage presence and visually stunning performances, delivered an almost two-hour set comprising 23 breathtaking acts. With a remarkable 13-year legacy of performance excellence as part of EXO and a 5-year run of exquisite solo discography, KAI masterfully commanded the stage with electrifying, world-class artistry. Fans were treated to never-before-seen showcases from his recently released fourth mini-album, “Wait On Me,” including the title track “Wait On Me” and fan favorites “Walls Don’t Talk,” “Pressure,” “Ridin’,” and “Adult Swim.” He also mesmerized the audience with past solo tracks like “Sinner,” “Hello Stranger,” and “Domino,” alongside iconic hits such as “Mmmh,” “Peaches,” and “Rover.” A truly special moment for long-time EXO-Ls was KAI’s heartfelt acoustic medley of EXO’s beloved songs “My Lady,” “Baby Don’t Cry,” and “Angel.”
These moments unfolded within an immersive production design that seamlessly reflected the narrative KAI aimed to convey. Adding to the unique fan experience, KAI encouraged attendees to embrace a camouflage military dress code, transforming the concert into a truly interactive and beautiful day for EXO-Ls. Beyond the technical mastery and visual feast, what resonated most deeply with fans was KAI’s unwavering gratitude for their support, a sentiment beautifully encapsulated when he heartwarmingly expressed, “Let’s meet again next time.”
Whether through his powerful and sultry grooves or moments of sheer vocal vulnerability, KAI breathed life into every song with his fluid choreography and expressive storytelling. The tour’s title, ‘KAION,’ which KAI explained signifies “the eternal beginning of KAI on stage,” truly encapsulates the essence of these performances – marking the start of an even more legendary chapter in his career. With five more stops remaining on the “KAION” tour before KAI brings his fiery energy to Manila, Filipino EXO-Ls are eagerly counting down the days until July 27, 2025.
