EXO's Kai appears on bTV talk show, Bulgaria's largest private broadcaster
Kai appeared as a guest on bTV's daily talk show 'Predi Obed', which aired twice on April 28 and May 1 (local time), and was interviewed by local veteran interviewer Tzveta McGregor. We met via video with a reporter and talked about a variety of topics, including the promotion of the hit song 'Rover', K-pop, dance, and fashion.
This talk show appearance was specially carried out after receiving an active love call from bTV, as the title song 'Rover' of Kai's third mini album, released in March, is receiving an explosive response in Bulgaria, and Kai's global popularity was once again realized. I did it.
In particular, bTV said of Kai, “He is a superstar in the multi-billion dollar K-pop industry. He studied dance since childhood and today dominates the world stage with amazing dance performances. Whenever he appears, it is filled with cheers from fans all over the world, and Kai's 'Rover', which was developed from a song by Bulgarian singer DARA, became a hot topic on various social media and became a definite hit," he said, drawing attention by introducing it in detail. .
Also, when asked about the process of working on ‘Rover’, Kai said, “DARA’s ‘Mr. Rover' (Mr. Rover) was a song specialized for female vocals. I thought for a long time about how I could reinterpret it as a male vocalist, and at the same time how I could make it more attractive by incorporating my own style. “I tried to include personal experiences, so the entire process of working on ‘Rover’ was very precious,” he said.
Additionally, “What was important to me was the message. The dictionary definition of 'Rover' is 'wanderer', but I wanted to express it with a hip concept to show a new and cool meaning as well. So, when I heard that even far away Bulgaria liked 'Rover', I was happy that my message seemed to have resonated well. “I want to visit Bulgaria in person someday and do the ‘#RoverChallenge’ with my fans,” he said.
Meanwhile, with his third mini-album 'Rover', Kai won 2 music broadcast awards, 2 wins on the Circle Weekly Chart, No. 1 on the iTunes Top Album Chart in 50 regions around the world, No. 1 on the World Wide iTunes Album Chart, and China's QQ Music Digital Album Sales Chart. It swept domestic and international charts, including first place and first place in the global/Korean music video chart.
