'World-Class Performer' EXO Kai To Drop New Solo Album in March 2023
EXO's main dancer Kai is making a comeback as a solo singer!
According to a report by SPOTV News on February 14, Kai will release a new album as a soloist in mid-March.
It is the first time in a year and four months that Kai will make his return to the music scene since his second mini-album, "Peaches," released in November 2021.
With this, fans are already excited about the music he will show after cementing popularity with his hits "Mmmh" and "Peaches."
While Kai was already massively popular as an EXO member, he solidified his solo power with releases different from EXO's songs.
EXO is known for its knife-like dance choreos that require too much energy. Kai, meanwhile, introduced dreamy yet sensuous music with smooth and fluid choreographies.
With his multiple feats and achievements as a soloist in a short span, Kai has been named by multiple Korean media outlets as an "irreplaceable" idol and "world-class performer."
As soon as the news spread among K-pop fans, EXO-Ls and Erigoms (Kai fans) rejoiced on social media platforms. His name KAI and the phrase, "KAI_IS_COMING," quickly made it on top of Twitter trends.
Meanwhile, EXO Kai has recently been active in Japan, including his first solo live event, the "Kai Japan Special Live 2023." This was held in three cities, Nagoya, Osaka, and Yokohama, Japan, from January 28 to 31.
