Group KiiiKiii's "404 (New Era)" was chosen as the best K-pop of the year.
Starship Entertainment said on the 16th that Billboard ranked KiiiKiii's "404 (New Era)" No. 1 in "The 25 best K-pop songs of 2026 (so far): staff picks," published on its official website that day.
This song is the title track of the mini 2nd album "Delulu Pack," which KiiiKiii released in January. With an addictive beat, distinctive vocals and rap, and witty lyrics, it delivered cheerful energy and received much love.
Billboard said of "404 (New Era)," "'404' is the most common error code online, but KiiiKiii imbued it with a new meaning of 'freedom existing without coordinates,'" and added, "KiiiKiii did not stop at imagining a new era; through various elements they fully pulled listeners into that era."
KiiiKiii charted on the U.S. Billboard 'Global (excluding U.S.)' chart for eight consecutive weeks with this song, and it was also popular domestically. "404 (New Era)" reached No. 1 on Melon Top 100 and the monthly chart, marking a career high.
Having proven their global momentum, KiiiKiii is set to make a comeback in mid-next month.
