Solo artist WOODZ and the group KiiiKiii are expanding their global influence.

WOODZ and KiiiKiii, both signed to labels under Kakao Entertainment (co-CEOs Ko Geok-hee and Jang Yoon-joong), are expanding their businesses based on praise from major overseas media outlets, as well as their local major partner networks, systematic management systems, and expertise in music IP businesses including distribution and marketing.

Kakao Entertainment stated, "Artists under Kakao Entertainment's labels, including SM Entertainment artists and various other K-pop artists, are actively performing on global stages in multiple ways, leading the expansion of K-pop's influence."

The company explained that both artists are gaining attention not only from global fans but also from major overseas media outlets. Recently, both WOODZ and KiiiKiii were named in "The 30 Best Albums of 2026 So Far," a list selected by the U.S. music publication The FADER.

WOODZ, an artist under Lee Dam Entertainment, is gaining global fan support with his expanded musical world through his first full album, "Archive. 1," released in March. KiiiKiii, a girl group under Starship Entertainment, has been quickly establishing its presence in the global market since its debut last year, highlighting its unique identity and musical color. The FADER introduced KiiiKiii as "one of the most interesting K-pop artists today."
