KAI of EXO adorned the finale of his first solo tour at the encore performance. Held from September 26 to 28 at the Changchung Gymnasium in Seoul, the '2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOURENCORE IN SEOUL' was held after KAI toured 10 regions in Asia and 6 regions in North America, featuring upgraded performances that received explosive reactions. In particular, KAI prepared a new setlist for the encore performance. Opening with the splendid 'I See You' and the intense performance of 'Spoiler,' he showcased solo songs performed at EXO's concerts, enhancing the three-dimensional feel through a slope and mirror set with 'Amnesia,' a performance resembling a musical scene with dancers in 'Off and Away,' and 'Flight to Paris,' which created a sense of unity with the audience as he moved through the seats. Additionally, the impressive choreography of 'Slidin'' on a tilted stage and the cheers raised by KAI's gestures during 'Bomba' followed, along with 'Peaches,' which combined a floating ball in the air with audience lights, and 'To Be Honest,' featuring a bear-shaped confetti symbolizing KAI, further heightened the enjoyment of the stage. On the final day, KAI surprised the audience by appearing with EXO member Sehun, reinterpreting his solo song 'Domino' and Sehun's solo song 'On Me' in a unit version, showcasing the outstanding chemistry built over EXO's 13 years since their debut. KAI revealed, 'Standing on stage with Sehun seems like a special gift for EXO-L (EXO's fans), which I prepared this time,' delivering an unforgettable experience to the fans. At the end of the concert, KAI shed tears of emotion, saying, 'After the call-up was lifted, I ran through the comeback and tour, and every moment was happy. More than anything, seeing EXO-L who always enjoy my performances, I felt an unchangeable sense of achievement, satisfaction, and love. I am incredibly happy to be able to perform on stage in front of my beloved fans. I want to be with you all the time, just like this moment. I will always work hard and happily perform on stage, so I hope you will come to see me anytime. I will always be “KAI.”' The audience also conveyed their support and affection for KAI through a dress code of 'leopard point look,' slogans like 'Happy all day with KAI,' 'Jongin (KAI's real name) ♥ We love you more,' and 'Always together in KAI's world,' singing along to songs like 'Bomba,' 'To Be Honest,' and 'Angel,' and chanting phrases like 'Thank you, Jongin,' 'I love you, Jongin,' and 'KAI, let's be forever' throughout the concert.
