The 'Gen Z Beauty' group KiiiKiii (Jiyu, Isol, Sui, Ha-eum, Kiya) is making a comeback.
On the 17th, their agency Starship Entertainment announced, "KiiiKiii is intensively preparing for a comeback aimed for August."
This comeback comes about 5 months after the release of their debut album 'UNCUT GEM' in March. 'UNCUT GEM' surpassed 200,000 copies in initial sales, topping both the weekly and daily album charts on the Hanteo Chart, and ranked 3rd on the weekly World Chart, showcasing their unique presence as newcomers. Additionally, they achieved 1st place on both the weekly and daily Circle Chart retail album charts, proving their immense popularity.
In particular, the title track 'I DO ME' from 'UNCUT GEM' maintained the number one spot on YouTube's trending videos immediately after the music video release, and after the digital release, it topped the Spotify Viral 50 chart in Korea, reached a peak of 3rd on the Melon Hot 100 chart, and demonstrated its power across major domestic music charts including Bugs, Vibe, Genie, Flo, and YouTube Music. KiiiKiii won the first place trophy on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' with 'I DO ME.'
KiiiKiii officially debuted in the music industry on March 24, capturing the public's heart not only with their outstanding skills but also with visuals that resonate with the Gen Z generation. They have graced numerous prestigious fashion magazines and even covered 10 Magazine USA before their official debut, becoming models for various brands and exerting overwhelming influence across fashion, beauty, finance, and the food industry. From March to June, KiiiKiii ranked first in brand reputation among rookie idol groups for four consecutive months and secured first place in the rookie girl group category at the '2025 Brand Customer Loyalty Awards,' showcasing their remarkable momentum. They also solidified their position as a '2025 rising star' by winning rookie awards at the 'Asia Star Entertainer Awards 2025' and the 'Seoul Music Awards.'
Through 'I DO ME,' KiiiKiii showcased a message of 'I will be myself,' displaying their confident and unpretentious charm, and attention is now focused on how they will color the music industry with 'Gen Z Beauty' this time.
Meanwhile, KiiiKiii's comeback schedule can be confirmed through their official SNS channels. They meet with fans every Wednesday at 7:25 PM through their first self-produced content 'KiiiKiii Pang Pang' since their debut.
