KiiiKiii (Jiyu, Isol, Sui, Ha eum, Kiya) has been active daily with their pre-debut song "I DO ME" and posted two behind-the-scenes videos of their first week of pre-debut music broadcasts on their official YouTube channel on the 12th and 14th.
The videos featured KiiiKiii's first week of pre-debut music broadcasts, starting with Mnet's "M Countdown" on the 27th of last month, followed by KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" on the 28th, MBC's "Show! Music Core" on March 1st, and SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 2nd, capturing the members' excitement, nervousness, and joyful moments.
The first broadcast, "M Countdown," was filled with excitement and nervousness about their debut stage. Isol, Ha eum, and Kiya expressed gratitude towards their fans, saying, "Today is our first music broadcast. It’s so touching that there are people who like us." The members were also seen preparing for debut interviews. While they showed nervousness practicing their comments and poses backstage, they completed all recordings perfectly with not only a sensible interview but also a stellar performance on stage.
The next day, the members appeared more relaxed during "Music Bank." Jiyu showed confidence, stating, "I will practice the interview hard today so that I won't be nervous and will act professionally," and demonstrated their dedication to the stage by discussing their outfits with the members during breaks. On stage, the members finished recording in a cheerful atmosphere, energized by enthusiastic cheers, taking photos on the staircase, which is a must-do course for "Music Bank," and filming the "I DO ME" challenge to commemorate their first broadcast.
The second video showed the members perfectly adapted to music broadcasts. They expressed, "Today we memorized all the camera positions," showcasing their passionate performance on stage, continuing the recording while demonstrating solid live performances and their captivating "ending fairy" skills.
Finally, at "Inkigayo," the members visited the show's iconic "Deungchon Snack Bar." They shared ice cream, saying, "It feels like we came to school," reflecting on their actual school lives and showcasing their youthful spirit. They later demonstrated the trending "Runaway Guinea" challenge and the "I DO ME" challenge alongside Ive's (IVE) Lee Seo, showing a warm senior-junior chemistry.
At the end of the videos, the members expressed, "This first week's activities have had so many unforgettable moments. We are so grateful to the fans who sent us support and letters, to those who prepared the stage for us, and to the seniors who filmed challenges with us," and successfully wrapped up their first week of music broadcasts, pledging to be together forever.
KiiiKiii's pre-debut song "I DO ME" is the title track of their debut album "UNCUT GEM," depicting the heart of an independent girl who believes in her instincts and lives confidently. Thanks to KiiiKiii's activities on music broadcasts, they reached a high of 4th on the Melon HOT100 chart as of 30 days after release and are maintaining their position in the Top 100 chart. They are showing an upward trend in major domestic music charts such as Bugs, Vibe, Genie, Flo, YouTube Music, and Spotify (South Korea), gaining tremendous popularity.
As KiiiKiii prepares for the release of "UNCUT GEM" on the 24th, they will continue their pre-debut activities with a performance of "I DO ME" on MBC's "Show! Music Core" today (15th).
