The group KiiiKiii marks the first anniversary of their pre-debut by recording an even more special moment with fans.
According to global K-culture fan platform Berriz, KiiiKiii (Ji-yu, I-sol, Sui, Ha-eum, Ki-ya) will hold a first-anniversary live event today (24th) titled "KiiiKiii doljanchi" and join Tiki (official fan club name). Tonight at 8 p.m., they will communicate in real time with fans worldwide through the official fan community within Berriz.
In this live event, KiiiKiii will look back on their growth and dazzling milestones over the past year and have more candid conversations with Tiki. In particular, they plan to vividly share behind-the-scenes stories of activities for the title track from their recently released mini album 2, "404 (New Era)," and reviews of music shows, sharing deepened teamwork and passion for the stage. It is also expected to be an opportunity to express gratitude to Tiki for spending the one year from debut to now together.
As the event is themed "doljanchi," various content is expected. KiiiKiii will add playful fun with segments such as a cake candle-blowing event, a "keyword talk," and a doljabi corner using items that reflect each member's personality. Through this, KiiiKiii is expected to spend time sharing the meaning of growth with fans rather than simply hosting a commemorative broadcast.
One year ago today, KiiiKiii made a comet-like entrance into the music scene with the release of "I DO ME." After reaching No. 1 on terrestrial music shows, they recorded four consecutive months at No. 1 in rookie idol group brand reputation, firmly establishing their presence. Beyond Korea, they continued activities on overseas stages and dyed the global fandom "Genjimi," drawing attention from prominent foreign media including Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, NME and Dazed, and achieved a brilliant feat of winning seven rookie awards in their debut year.
In the new year 2026, KiiiKiii's presence became even clearer. After releasing the new song "404 (New Era)," they recorded a personal career high by reaching No. 1 on Melon TOP100 just 16 days later, and topped weekly charts on Melon as well as Bugs. In addition, they proved notable strength across both streaming charts and music shows by recording three music show wins, and "404 (New Era)" has gained massive popularity, being used as background music on many people's social media or spawning numerous challenges.
Having left such dazzling footprints and reaching the first anniversary of their pre-debut, KiiiKiii plans to reminisce about a year of challenge and proof and, together with Tiki, complete a more meaningful first anniversary by sharing a meaningful moment to pledge future leaps.
