JAKARTA - Kai EXO will meet fans before leaving for military service. SM Entertainment announced a fan meeting which will be held on May 9, 2023 at YES24 Live Hall, Seoul.

The event was held two days before Kai departs for the training center on May 11. Interestingly, this event will be held for free.

"Because the place has limited capacity, the event will be held free of charge with registration received from the official EXO fan club member (EXO-L ACE 3, ACE 2)," said SM Entertainment.

This means that fans who have been officially registered can access the sale of the fan meeting ticket. For fans who cannot attend in person, the fan meeting program will be broadcast for free through the EXO YouTube channel.

"Because this event was made for those who love Kai, we ask for understanding even though there are shortcomings," he said again.

Previously, SM Entertainment announced that Kai EXO would leave for military service as a public service worker. They claim this news was released suddenly due to changes in military administration regulations.

"Kai is preparing an EXO comeback schedule this year, but due to changes in military administration regulations, he will go to a training center on May 11 where he will receive basic military exercises and then serve as a public service worker," the agency explained.

"According to Kai's desire to be conscripted in the military calmly, his time and location will not be announced and there will be no special events, so we ask for the understanding of fans," said SM Entertainment.

Kai also greeted fans through live broadcasts and expressed his desire to serve military service smoothly. He hopes fans can wait for him until he returns to the world of music.

Kai himself became one of the last two members of EXO who served in the military. Apart from Kai, there is Sehun who is expected to carry out military service with Kai. Meanwhile, Xiumin, Suho, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Chen, DO have completed the military service.

Apart from being active with EXO, Kai has successfully produced various hits through his solo album. This year he became a conversation with the mini album Rover.
