Kai is "It's his comeback in two years. It took a long time from the call-up to the greeting. I'm as nervous and excited as I was when I debuted."

Kai wanted to express in an album that "two years of absence was not just a passing time, but a time to build up good things." As you've been waiting for me, I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I've tried to make a better and more satisfying album."
The title song 'Weight on Me' is a pop song that utilizes the Afrobeats rhythm, and the restrained groove created by percussion instruments and the synth string sound that raises tension. The lyrics contain the beauty of emotions that are slowly revealed without rushing through waiting.
Kai says "It's an addictive song that's catchy once you hear it. I sang with ease to the lyrics. have moderation in one's mind. As all the solo songs so far have different genres, I tried to come out with a new concept this time as well. I want to show you a new side of me, rather than being complacent while doing what I did", he introduced.

I also liked the modifier 'Cropty Icon' While doing a live broadcast recently, D.O. provoked me by saying, 'Why are you so lacking cloth?' I already filmed this, so I thought I should show you something that's not lacking in fabric next time" gave a delightful answer.

In addition, he will appear in entertainment programs as well as YouTube 'Jeonja', which he hosted, and perform in all directions. Already, Kai has long become a famous blue chip in the entertainment industry. When I appeared on JTBC 'Knowing Bros' with EXO members in 2019, in the corner 'Shout in Silence', the keyword 'Stick in Padding (Hot Pack)' is "Two letters inside a panty?He made a good impression with the sacredness of the entertainment industry by saying it incorrectly.
"When I debuted, I didn't expect to be on so many entertainment shows and get a good response," he said. It seems that the 'two letters in the panty' was the second turning point, the turning point. I will not forget the love and gratitude I am receiving now, and I will do my best," he added.

Kai said "He said he would leave a comment when he returned to society, but I didn't know he would really leave a comment. I'll visit you later. "It was not difficult to adapt to life as a civilian. I did my best because it was something I had to do. There were a lot of rules on my own and a lot of things I thought were right, but rather than my subjectivity, I tried to do it comfortably and the things that I tried to start anew melted into the album," he said with humility.
Regarding EXO's activities as a whole, "We're talking a lot with the company and talking about it in a good way. If there's a chance, I'll try to show good performances as EXO" expressed affection.
