The group Kiki expressed gratitude toward their agency's senior, IVE.
Kiki held a showcase on the afternoon of the 24th at the Bluesquare Mastercard Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their first mini album 'UNCUT GEM' and discussed their debut album.
Kiki is a five-member rookie girl group launched by Starship Entertainment four years after IVE, pursuing style and fun with the theme of 'the beauty of imperfect youth.'
When asked about the pressure of being a direct junior to IVE, Kiki said, "It is an honor to debut as the junior of such amazing and respected seniors. We want to show our unique color while being inspired by our seniors."
Kiya expressed gratitude, stating that the IVE members did not hold back on their advice, saying, "While delivering the Kiki box, we met the senior members of IVE, and they encouraged us, saying 'let's go!' and provided support and advice, which made for a grateful and happy time."
Additionally, Jiyu added, "I briefly practiced with the seniors during our trainee days, and I was grateful that Liz, the vocal senior, cheered for us."
Also, the members selected IVE as the star they want to film a challenge with, saying, "We filmed a challenge with the IVE seniors, and if there is another opportunity, we would like to film a challenge with RAY."
