EXO’s Kai Takes on the Role of Student Council Leader in Viral College Reality Show

EXO’s Kai is winning hearts and headlines with his latest adventure in Season 6 of the hit multi-platform reality show ‘The Transfer Student: The Man Who Transfers Every Day’. After previously exploring university ROTC life, Kai dives into a whole new challenge—joining the Student Council at Hongik University.

Released on June 8 by content studio ootb STUDIO, the latest episode showcases Kai’s special one-day experience as a member of the culture planning division within the Student Council. Always enthusiastic, Kai boldly suggested booking SM Entertainment artists for the university’s upcoming festival, demonstrating both passion and creativity—qualities fans adore.

Fans were delighted to see this “social life expert” side of Kai, who seamlessly adapted to the intricacies of Student Council operations. He even conducted a mock interview with current department heads, jokingly acting as the interim president. His charm and proactive attitude shone through when he made a live call to inquire about booking aespa, a junior group under SM Entertainment, and playfully asked if EXO’s Kai himself could join the lineup, causing much amusement.

Kai’s witty banter and sincere efforts quickly elevated him to “most wanted recruit” status amongst the Student Council members. From confident self-promotion to humble engagement in real tasks—including preparing and distributing 700 snack packs to students during exam week—Kai’s hands-on participation garnered admiration across social media.

He didn’t stop at logistics. Known for his reflection and empathy, Kai expressed heartfelt respect for his fellow students, saying, “I hope everyone acknowledges how hard you’re all working.” At the day’s end, with a tired yet smiling face, he jokingly declared, “This Student Council stuff is no joke. I respectfully resign.”

The increasingly dynamic content in Season 6 of ‘The Transfer Student’ continues to capture the attention of Gen Z and millennial viewers alike. Episodes are released every Thursday at 6 PM KST via the ootb STUDIO YouTube channel.
