EXO's Kai officially made his solo comeback with the release of his fourth mini album titled 'Wait On Me' on Monday April 21, 2025. Celebrating his solo comeback after 2 years, the idol also held a showcase event on the same day to greet fans directly.
Kai held a showcase for his album 'Wait On Me' at Yes24 Live Hall at 8:00 PM KST. The event was also broadcasted live on EXO's official YouTube channel. As reported by Naver on Tuesday April 22, 2025, on that occasion the 31 year old idol not only performed the song 'Wait On Me' for the first time in front of fans live.
However, he also performed a number of b-side tracks on his latest album, such as the song 'Adult Swim' which successfully received a lively response from the fans who attended. Officially making a solo comeback after 2 years of military service, Kai also showed off his trendy wit, and made fans laugh by revealing various stories on various topics.
Starting from behind-the-scenes stories of making the album, to the moment of unboxing the album 'Wait On Me.' In more detail, Kai called the title track 'Wait On Me' a song that has a sweet and salty sensation, because of his unique and soft vocals combined with his powerful stage performance.
"The lyrics conveyed in the song are the art or beauty of waiting. This is a song that makes us realize that we miss each other so much while we wait. Because our patience in waiting is what makes us now feel true happiness," explained the owner of the full name Kim Jongin.
Not stopping there, Kai also shared with fans about his favorite song from the album. The idol chose the song 'Pressure' while saying that the song is the song he listens to the most, while thinking about how he should express the song.
Meanwhile, other EXO members admitted that they liked the song 'Walls Don't Talk' because it is an easy listening song. "The song I listened to the most was 'Pressure.' I remember listening to it while thinking about how I could express this song. Unlike me, the EXO members actually preferred 'Walls Don't Talk' because it was easy to listen to," Kai said.
Closing his first solo showcase, EXO's Kai poured out his heart to fans in a touching atmosphere. "Now there's nothing that can stop us. We just have to enjoy ourselves. I hope fans will also think 'It wasn't in vain that we waited for Kai' through this album," Kai said. "I will show more love with actions than words.
Thank you for always being with me on this new journey," Kai concluded with his voice shaking with tears. Meanwhile, EXO Kai's fourth mini album successfully gained popularity by ranking first on iTunes Top Albums Charts in 23 countries simultaneously worldwide shortly after its release.
