EXO’s Kai is gearing up to take over K-pop once again with a surprise solo comeback!

According to an exclusive report from Star News on March 5, Kai is preparing to release his fourth mini-album in April. It was also revealed that he will be filming his new music video next week.

This will be Kai’s first solo comeback in almost two years, following the success of his third mini-album ‘Rover’ in March 2023.

At that time, ‘Rover’ topped the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 40 countries, dominated domestic charts, and even hit No.1 on China’s QQ Music digital album sales chart, proving his massive global influence.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for Kai’s return, especially since he enlisted in May 2023 as a public service worker and was officially discharged on February 10, 2024.

Notably, despite being 11 years into his career, Kai couldn’t hold back his tears after winning 1st place on KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’ during his previous comeback, showing just how much he cherishes his fans' love and support.

Ahead of his comeback, Kai is also set to make his first post-discharge appearance on the YouTube variety show ‘Convict’ (Jeongwa-ja) Season 6. Taking over from Changsub, Kai will be the second ‘convict’, and his season is scheduled to premiere on March 20.

2PM’s Lee Junho has officially ended his 17-year journey with JYP Entertainment, and fans can’t stop talking about his touching farewell gesture.

On April 15, photos began circulating online showing the special gift Junho prepared for all the JYP staff before officially leaving the agency.

In the photo, a heartfelt banner from Junho reads, “To the JYP family, I was happy because we were together. Thank you sincerely. From Lee Junho.”

Along with this message, Junho set up a cheesecake station at the company’s café — with a slice for each employee to take and enjoy.

That day marked Junho’s official departure from the company he first joined as a trainee, spending nearly two decades growing as a singer, actor, and all-around star.

Back on March 20, JYP had already announced the contract ending, saying, “After deep discussions, both sides have decided not to renew the contract. We sincerely thank Lee Junho for being part of the company’s growth and journey over the past 17 years.”

Junho also shared a warm message through the agency, “Thank you sincerely for the support given to me over the past 17 years. I will move forward while cherishing the relationships and support we’ve built during this long time together.”

Even though he’s officially left the agency, Junho’s activities in Japan will still be handled by JYP. “We will continue to manage his activities in Japan and will actively support future collaborations as needed,” the agency stated.

This sweet gesture isn’t the only thing that showed Junho’s character recently. On March 27, he donated 100 million KRW (around $75,000 USD) to World Vision, requesting that the funds go to support children and residents affected by the devastating wildfires in Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk.

Fans are now looking forward to Junho’s next chapter, with his appearances in Netflix’s new series “Cashero” and tvN’s “Typhoon Trading Company” lined up for this year.

From heartfelt goodbyes to generous donations, Junho is showing the world that he’s not just a talented artist — but also a genuinely kind soul.
