The duo will release “Waking Up The City” in December before opening their Asian fancon tour in Seoul.
Kai and Sehun are taking their new EXO unit on the road. EXO-KASE will launch its “SILENT CITY” fancon tour in January 2027, following the December 1 release of its debut mini album, “Waking Up The City.”
According to TopStarNews’s November 13 report, the itinerary covers eight Asian destinations, beginning with Seoul before continuing to Kuala Lumpur, Macau, Jakarta, Tokyo, Bangkok, Taipei and Manila. The announcement turns the duo’s upcoming recording debut into a wider campaign that will carry into the new year.

The opening shows are scheduled for January 9 and 10 at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul’s Seongbuk District. TenAsia also reported the dates and venue, citing SM Entertainment’s announcement.
The performance concept places the two members’ dancing and stage presence at the center. According to TopStarNews, the shows are being prepared around powerful performances intended to establish the unit’s identity.
That description indicates the direction of the production, but it does not establish a setlist. The announcement does not specify which EXO songs, individual releases or new unit tracks will appear in the Seoul shows. Fans can look for further details as the album campaign develops, rather than treating a particular song as guaranteed.
When Seoul Tickets Go on Sale
The reported ticketing schedule separates domestic and international fan-club presales. EXO-L membership holders will have a domestic presale through Melon Ticket on November 23, followed by a global presale on November 24. General sales begin on November 25.
These are the announced dates for the Seoul performances. They should not be read as a shared booking schedule for the entire Asian itinerary, since the supplied report does not give ticket-sale arrangements for the other destinations.
For anyone planning to attend, the practical distinction is between being an EXO-L member and having completed the requirements for the relevant presale. Buyers should consult the official booking notice for membership verification, purchase limits and other conditions. Those details are not set out in the report, so this announcement alone is not a complete booking guide.
A December Album Before the Fancon
“Waking Up The City” is scheduled for December 1, giving the unit a recording debut before its January stage launch. According to Newsen, which also cited SM, the mini album contains seven tracks, including the title song of the same name and solo songs by the members.
The sequence gives listeners an opportunity to become familiar with the new material before the opening concerts. It also places the tour within the unit’s debut campaign, rather than introducing the partnership only through an isolated live appearance.
Our earlier coverage of Kai and Sehun’s unit announcement focused on the December album plans. The newly reported tour now gives that partnership a live schedule and an opening venue.

Kai and Sehun were both born in 1994 and are known to fans as EXO’s “94-line” pairing. TopStarNews describes the promotional contrast through Kai’s intense image and Sehun’s cooler, more restrained styling.
Those descriptions are promotional shorthand, rather than a substitute for hearing the album. The music and completed performances will show how the two approaches work together across a full release.
The unit also adds another setting to their individual and group activities. Our recent coverage followed Kai at a Seoul beauty event; “SILENT CITY” brings the focus back to a shared musical project with Sehun.
Two City Titles Connect the Rollout
Our reading of the announcement is that the album and tour titles provide a useful conceptual connection. “Waking Up The City” introduces movement and an awakening, while “SILENT CITY” offers a contrasting image for the live campaign.
That relationship suggests a connected visual world, although the titles alone do not confirm a narrative or concert storyline. For now, the concrete milestones are the December album, the November Seoul ticket sales and the January opening shows.
