EXO's Kai Returns After 2 Years — Matured Sound in 'Wait On Me'

From Latin trap to Afrobeats vibes — Kai unveils a bolder musical spectrum

EXO's Kai is back with upgraded vibes and a deeper sound. After a two-year hiatus, he's set to drop his 4th mini album Wait On Me on April 21 at 6 PM KST.

🎧 Sneak Peek: New Tracks, New Energy

Kai's upcoming album promises to showcase his signature performance finesse paired with a more refined and mature musical direction.

  • 'Pressure' blends 808 bass, Latin trap beats, and a lyrical flute melody, creating an atmospheric groove. The lyrics highlight inner strength — embracing pressure and finding peace within it.
  • 'Off and Away' dives into the Afrobeats-pop genre, featuring rhythmic vocal percussion elements. The lyrics touch on emotional conflict: wanting to hold onto a past connection but surrendering to reality.


🎤 A Grown Kai, A Global Performer

Known as the "world-class performer" of K-pop, Kai continues to explore genre diversity while staying rooted in his signature elegance. Wait On Me follows his 3rd EP Rover, which was released in 2023.

This time, it's not just about dance — it's about vulnerability, growth, and self-expression layered over experimental beats.

Get ready to feel every beat when Kai's Wait On Me drops on April 21 at 6 PM KST.
