5 Must-Listen Songs Ahead of Kai’s KAION Concert in Manila

EXO’s Kai is bringing his 2025 KAION SOLO CONCERT TOUR to Manila, and fans are getting ready to witness a night of strong choreography, smooth vocals, and signature Kai charisma. Whether you’re attending the show or just following from afar, here are five songs you should definitely listen to before the concert. Each one offers a different glimpse into Kai’s solo artistry from sultry R&B to hard-hitting dance tracks.

1. Mmmh

This track marked Kai’s official solo debut, and it still holds up as one of his most recognizable songs. With its minimal R&B beat and sleek visuals, “Mmmh” is all about confidence and subtle allure. It’s the perfect introduction to his solo sound — clean, controlled, and undeniably Kai.

2. Bomba

“Bomba” brings the energy up several notches. With its reggaeton-inspired rhythm and fast footwork, this track is a showcase of Kai’s explosive stage presence. During the KAION tour, it’s one of the key moments that gets the crowd moving. It’s fiery, rhythmic, and made for the stage.

3. Rover

Released as the title track of his 3rd mini album, “Rover” is bold, bass-heavy, and addictive. With its dancehall influence and sharp choreography, it pushes Kai’s performance style into new territory. Expect dramatic lighting, strong beats, and a chorus that’s hard not to dance along to.

4. Wait On Me

On the slower, more emotional side, “Wait On Me” blends smooth vocals with understated production. It highlights a more introspective version of Kai — less about the moves, more about the mood. It adds a good balance to the setlist and shows his range as a soloist.

5. Adult Swim

With darker undertones and a more experimental sound, “Adult Swim” gives off a late-night vibe. The performance is subtle but intense, mixing precise movements with restrained energy. It’s one of those tracks that may not be as mainstream but resonates deeply live.

Catch him live on his KAION Manila tour stop this July 27, 2025 at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are still available via Ticketnet online and outlets nationwide.

Whether you’re already a long-time fan or someone new to Kai’s solo work, these five tracks are a great way to prepare for what’s sure to be an unforgettable night at the KAION concert. Each one reflects a part of what makes Kai such a compelling performer: versatility, control, and presence.
