EXO-Ls, the wait is finally over! The K in K-Pop is back, and whether it stands for “King” or “Kai”, one thing’s for sure: Mr. Rover himself is making his grand return!

Brace yourselves as he takes over the stage on July 27, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum for the 2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOUR <KAION> IN MANILA! 

More than a decade after his group debut in 2012, KAI has emerged as one of the best dancers in South Korea and K-Pop. Whether it was the five years of rigorous training before his debut, his unwavering dedication, or his sheer passion for dancing, the answer is likely a combination of all three. But if we delve deeper, his unparalleled passion for dance truly sets him apart from the vast talents of the K-Pop industry. KAI has been dancing since he was eight years old. With that popping and locking right on the beat, he has the kind of precision that most dancers take years to master in the art of hip-hop. However, KAI proves that technical brilliance is just one aspect of his artistry. The foundation of his skills was nurtured through ballet and jazz, which transcends to his unique ability to blend technical excellence and raw emotion, captivating audiences worldwide. KAI’s dedication to his craft is unmatched, and his versatility as a dancer has made him a standout in the K-Pop scene. From his powerful stage presence to his ability to blend different dance styles, his reputation as a dance prodigy is indisputable. 

In the realm of K-Pop, where artists are often confined to maintaining a distinct image, KAI has consistently defied expectations, showcasing his talents not only as a singer and dancer but also as a multifaceted entertainer and fashion icon. From being EXO’s center, main dancer, and lead rapper, to being part of “EXO-K”, “Younique Unit”, and “SM the Performance,” all in 2012, and later on, becoming part of a performance-based group “SuperM” in 2019, he has proven his ability to seamlessly adapt to various group dynamics and musical styles. Whether it’s his sharp choreography or dynamic rap verses, KAI consistently sets the stage on fire. 

Beyond his musical endeavors, he has also ventured into acting, starring in projects like “Choco Bank”, “7 First Kisses”, “Andante”, and “Spring Has Come”, further solidifying his status as a versatile performer. And with his impeccable sense of style, KAI has also become a prominent figure in the fashion industry. He was the first [Gucci] Eyewear Men Global Ambassador in South Korea in 2019 and the first-ever male muse of a cosmetics brand [Bobbi Brown] in 2020. Undoubtedly, KAI is more than just a K-Pop artist. His influence extends far beyond the stage, cementing his status as a true icon. 

Moving forward, his journey is far from over. In 2020, he made his long-awaited debut as a soloist with his self-titled EP “Kai” and its lead single “Mmmh”, which set the foundation for his solo career. The album’s impressive performance– reaching #2 on the Gaon Album Chart, earning a Platinum certification from the Korea Music Content Association, and winning “Best Male Artist” and “People’s Choice Awards” at the 2021 Asian Pop Music Awards– was a testament to KAI’s enduring popularity and the audience’s embrace of his unique musical vision. Continuing his solo momentum, his second EP, “Peaches”, debuted at #3 and earned him another Platinum certification. Most recently, his third EP, “Rover,” has reached new heights, debuting at #1 on the Circle Album Chart, his first chart-topping solo release. This unprecedented success not only proved KAI’s status as a formidable solo artist but also highlighted his relentless commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

After two years of being away from his fans due to his military enlistment, KAI is ready to take his fans in the Philippines by storm. From heart-thumping dance tracks to soul-stirring ballads, he is set to leave you in awe.
