It is expected that you will get a hot response as you can meet Kai's charming appearance, who is set to transform into a solo singer.

During these past years, the male idol has established his own image and name, especially in dancing. Aside from being SM Entertainment's representative dancer, along with TVXQ Yunho, SHINee's Taemin, BoA, Red Velvet Seulgi, etc., Kai is also named by various professional dancers, choreographers as one of the best dancers in the K-pop industry. In addition to this, he is one of the idols chosen by his junior idols as their role model.
Along with his dancing skills, Kai has good, dulcet vocals and perfect sync and impression to music that the song becomes one with him, regardless of the genre when he starts to perform.
Also, an interesting thing is that fans and netizens are discussing if SM Entertainment teased EXO Kai's solo debut through Aespa's MV.
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, SM Entertainment's new girl group, Aespa, finally dropped their bop track, "Black Mamba" and its MV, which became the fastest debuting girl group to reach 10 Million views on YouTube. Along with their powerful entry into the K-pop scene, fans and K-pop enthusiasts discussed the unique way of SM Entertainment, spoiling and teasing the viewers with their artists' upcoming solo debut and comeback.
According to some fans, EXO Kai allegedly made an appearance in the rookie group's music video as the water's cryptic man. Also, in the same video, BoA appeared before the video ended, piquing fans and viewers' curiosity.
Fans are giving applause to SM Entertainment for its witty way of giving hints to upcoming schedules of its artists, just like how they do with Aespa's debut, hinting their release through SuperM's "One (Monster & Inifinity)" and NCT U's "Make A Wish" MV.
