Kai was discharged from his 21-month mandatory service on February 10, 2025. His fellow group members SuhoChanyeol and Baekhyun, gave him a warm welcome to his civilian life. Kai began his alternative service as a social service worker on May 11, 2023. Just like his surprise comeback revelation, his enlistment news was a shocker for fans as well, as it was announced just a week before he started his service. Back then, the artist admitted that the enlistment news was sudden for him as well. 

Two months prior to that, on March 13, the K-pop idol dropped his third mini-album, Rover. It received immense love from fans, with the EP's title track of the same name being the most popular one among the six tracks. Rover was praised by critics for its innovative sound, strong production quality, and Kai's confident delivery, highlighting his evolution as a solo artist. It is a catchy, groovy track with an emphasis on rhythm. It features lyrics about finding liberation and embracing the unknown.
