He is back to music after completing his alternative military service. Kai started serving as a social service worker in May 2023 and was discharged last month on February 10.
Kai could not make a comeback for two years due to mandatory military duties. His last release was the successful third mini-album “Rover”, released in March 2023. The album topped the iTunes Album chart in 40 countries worldwide and dominated domestic and Chinese music charts.
Moreover, the title song “Rover” debuted at #12 on Billboard World Digital Song Sales and #15 on Hot Trending Charts.
Kai debuted as a member of EXO in 2012, and later made his solo debut eight years later in 2020 with his self-titled album.
Meanwhile, he is set to kick off his post-discharge schedule with the YouTube web variety show “Changing Majors” Season 6. Following Lee Chang Sub, Kai will star as the second “Changing Majors” when the new season premieres on March 20, ahead of his April comeback.
