On the 18th, Kai held his first solo concert tour 'KAION' at Handball Stadium, Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.


The concert was divided into four thematic segments: 'The Stranger in the Mirror', 'The Many Selves Within Me', 'All Selves Unite', and 'A New Journey of Mine'. The stage featured Kai's 'KAI' typography, VCRs, a massive LED screen, and detailed props to enhance visuals.


Kai opened with 'Sinner' from his third mini album, wearing a red blouse and pants. He greeted fans with 'Mmmh' from his first mini album and 'Nothing On Me', as the venue resonated with chants of 'Kim Jongin'.


Smiling brightly, Kai addressed the crowd, moving closer to fans, warmly asking, "Did you miss me?" He admitted, "Today is day two, and I'm more nervous. I want to do well and enjoy it."


The first segment ended with 'Hello Stranger', 'Slidin'', and 'Ride Or Die'.


The second segment featured dances to EXO's 'My Lady', 'Baby Don't Cry', and 'Into Your World'. Kai, in a three-piece suit, performed solo, while fans sang along. He showed his love with a heart pose during 'Come In'.


Kai remarked, "The EXO medley was overwhelming with memories. 'Into Your World' almost made me cry."



He added, "I hope the videos showed a new side of me. There’s more to come even after 14 years. I promise forever with fans."


Kai reappeared with rimless glasses, performing 'Vanilla', 'Peaches', and 'Adult Swim'.


Kai said, "I'll change the song mood," drawing cheers with 'Wait On Me', 'Pressure', 'Walls Don't Talk', and 'Bomba'.


The third segment peaked as Kai, in leather, performed 'Confession' and 'Domino', elevating the concert atmosphere.


Breathless, Kai expressed, "This concert is to show I'm back. I want to reaffirm why you like me, that Kai satisfies you."


He urged the crowd to "go crazy" with 'Reason'.


Near the end, Kai expressed gratitude to EXO members Suho, Chanyeol, and D.O. for their support. He promised to return stronger and concluded with 'Rover'.


Fans continued chanting 'Kim Jongin' after the show, prompting Kai to perform 'Blue'. He thanked fans for the encore, feeling touched by their support and the surprise slogan event.


Kai shared, "I felt many emotions and focused on you during the concert. Happiness on stage is what I love most. I will never forget today," concluding the Seoul concert with 'To Be Honest'.
