EXO's Kai Shines in 'The Transfer Student' Season 6 Premiere with Unpredictable Charm

EXO's Kai makes a remarkable debut as the new transfer student in the revamped season of 'The Transfer Student,' showcasing his unique variety show skills from the very first episode.

The popular variety show 'The Transfer Student' from ootb STUDIO kicks off its sixth season today, September 27. Known for its engaging content that reviews various university departments across the nation, the show has seen BTOB's Changsub as the first transfer student for five seasons. Now, EXO's Kai takes over as the second transfer student, promising an exciting journey. Kai's first destination is the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), where he meets students, listens to their vibrant campus stories, and even focuses on challenging lectures, all while displaying his quirky charm.

Upon arriving at the university, Kai humorously notes, "I feel a connection with this school because of our similar names," and is amused to find many facilities named 'Kai.' He exclaims, "The whole world is Kai!" bringing laughter to the scene. Additionally, Kai revives EXO's 'superpower' concept by playfully using 'teleportation' to enter the school, setting a lively tone from the start.

Kai's first department transfer is to the Chemistry Department. Despite being initially overwhelmed by unfamiliar courses like 'Organic Chemistry' and 'Computational Chemistry,' Kai quickly captures attention with his unpredictable antics. In the 'Computational Chemistry' class, he humorously struggles with quantum calculations using computer programs, yet confidently declares, "I'm a hacker now, soon to be a doctor!" His self-motivation adds a comedic touch, drawing focus to his first transfer experience.

During his campus tour, Kai spontaneously engages in a lively debate with a student he meets, showcasing his skills as the 'new transfer student.' They tackle the age-old question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" with Kai impressively presenting his arguments. His exceptional variety show skills and willingness to approach new students with ease left the production team pleased.

EXO's Kai debuts as the second transfer student in 'The Transfer Student' Season 6, premiering today, September 27, at 6 PM on the ootb STUDIO YouTube channel. New episodes will be available every Thursday at 6 PM.
