The announcement of Kai’s solo tour comes a day after SM Entertainment confirmed that the EXO singer would be releasing new solo music next month. The confirmation comes shortly after the company published an earnings report that featured a preview of music releases planned for the first half of 2025.

His new music and tour come after Kai was discharged from mandatory military service in February. It will also mark his first solo music in a little over two years, with his last being the mini-album ‘Rover’ in 2023.
