KiiiKiii Set for August Comeback After Successful Debut

KiiiKiii, the sister group of IVE, is gearing up for a comeback.

On the 17th, Starship Entertainment announced that KiiiKiii is preparing for a comeback, aiming for August.

KiiiKiii, consisting of members Jiyu, Isol, Sui, Haeum, and Kiya, will be making their return approximately five months after their debut album 'UNCUT GEM' was released in March. 'UNCUT GEM' surpassed 200,000 copies in its first week, topping the Hanteo Chart's weekly and daily album charts, and securing the third spot on the weekly world chart. Additionally, it achieved first place on the Circle Chart's retail album weekly and daily charts.

The title track 'I DO ME' from 'UNCUT GEM' maintained the number one spot on YouTube's trending videos immediately after its music video release. The track also topped Spotify's Viral 50 Korea chart and reached a peak position of third on Melon's Hot 100 chart, showcasing its impact across major domestic music charts including Bugs, Vibe, Genie, Flo, and YouTube Music. KiiiKiii clinched their first music show win on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' with 'I DO ME'.

Since their official debut on March 24, KiiiKiii has been selected as models for various brands, extending their influence across fashion, beauty, finance, and the food industry.
