Rookie girl group KiiiKiii has successfully wrapped up their pre-debut activities, gaining significant attention ahead of their official debut.
On February 16, KiiiKiii pre-released the music video for their debut album title track, "I DO ME," without prior notice. The unexpected drop generated immediate buzz, with the video reaching No. 1 on YouTube’s trending videos chart within 12 hours of its release. It maintained the top spot on the trending music video chart for four consecutive days, showcasing the group’s strong digital presence.
Industry insiders have praised KiiiKiii for their unconventional appeal, highlighting their nature-inspired concept, infectious melodies, and distinctive vocal styles. This unique combination has set them apart from other emerging groups, positioning them as an act to watch.
Their impact was equally impressive on music streaming platforms. "I DO ME" peaked at No. 4 on the Melon Hot 100 chart, while also gaining traction on Bugs, Vibe, Genie, FLO, and YouTube Music, where it continues to chart steadily.
On February 23, KiiiKiii further engaged fans by releasing the music video for their track "DEBUT SONG." This playful track creatively incorporates the melody of "Happy Birthday" with lyrics celebrating their entrance into the K-pop industry. Like "I DO ME," the video quickly went viral, ranking among YouTube’s trending videos within 12 hours and sparking discussions across social media and online communities.
KiiiKiii also demonstrated their performance skills through multiple live appearances on music programs, delivering live renditions of "I DO ME" that showcased their growing vocal strength. Their improved stage presence and confident performances have garnered positive feedback from music fans.
Additionally, the group made its radio debut on SBS PowerFM’s "Wendy’s Youngstreet" on March 3, charming listeners with its witty personalities and engaging live performances. They have also graced several fashion magazines, including the cover of 10 Magazine's U.S. edition, further establishing their presence beyond the music scene.
Despite still being in their pre-debut phase, KiiiKiii has already achieved remarkable milestones. They ranked No. 1 in the March rookie idol brand reputation rankings and secured the No. 8 spot in the overall girl group brand reputation rankings, proving their rapidly growing influence.
Reflecting on their pre-debut experience, KiiiKiii shared, "These past three weeks felt short because we were so happy and had so much fun. The love and support from fans made everything even more enjoyable."
They added, "We are deeply grateful for all the encouragement. We promise to keep surprising everyone with our unique charm, so please look forward to our debut album."
KiiiKiii will officially debut on March 24 with the release of their first album, "UNCUT GEM."
