EXO's Kai will be making his debut as a solo singer very soon!
It seems like SM Entertainment has no plans of stopping with their back-to-back announcements because EXO member Kai has just been confirmed to make his very first solo album soon.
According to the South Korean agency, “Kai is preparing for a solo album,” thus confirming speculations that the K-pop idol will target its release by the second half of the year.
However, no further details were revealed about the album and its upcoming lead track.
Kai will become the fifth member of EXO to make a solo debut in addition to Baekhyun, Chen, Suho, and Lay.
Following the announcement, EXO-Ls went gaga on Twitter with the hashtags “#KAI_IS_COMING,” “#KaiSoloIsComing,” “KIM JONGIN,” and “KAI WORLD DOMINATION” leading the trending topics on Twitter.

"I hope everybody can look forward to it.”
