KAI, from popular K-Pop boy group EXO, successfully wrapped up his first U.S. solo tour, KAION, visiting five cities: Los Angeles, Grand Prairie, Atlanta, Rosemount, and New York. The shows received praise from both media and fans alike.
The Dallas Observer says, “it isn’t far out to say that KAI is already at a level where he could tour bigger stadiums next time. His dedication to visual artistry, choreography and storytelling suggests a performer who desires to connect with his fans, making up for lost time by giving it his all.”
KAI’s captivating showmanship and extensive discography drew the audience in, with fans cheering loudly and singing along to his songs.
He performed his viral hits “Rover,” “Mmmh,” and “Adult Swim,” which sparked singalongs and explosive energy. His medley of EXO’s iconic songs—“Growl,” “Tempo,” “The Eve,” and “Love Shot”—generated even more excitement, with fans singing along passionately.
At his final show at the renowned Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York, KAI officially announced that EXO will be making a comeback. Furthering the excitement, EXO prepares to turn back the clock.
At 1:26 AM on September 8th, EXO’s official social media accounts surprised fans with a newly unveiled image, evoking the moment of a total lunar eclipse in the vast universe, accompanied by the text “DECEMBER 2025,” sparking a wave of excitement. Notably, the image also included the phrase “WHEN WE BECOME TRUE ONE, A NEW WORLD AWAKENS,” a meaningful line rooted in EXO’s unique universe storyline that ignited the “K-pop worldview boom” with their debut in 2012, heightening fans’ curiosity worldwide.
With member Sehun set to complete his alternative service soon, EXO plans to resume full-group activities and connect with fans through a wide range of projects, raising anticipation even further.
