The group KiiiKiii (Ji-yu, Lee-sol, Su-i, Ha-eum, Ki-ya) will make a comeback in August.

On the 11th, Starship Entertainment, Kiki's agency, announced, "Kiki is aiming to make a comeback in mid-August. With many people, including Tiki (the official fan club name), looking forward to it, we are accelerating preparations to present new music that is uniquely Kiki."

This comeback comes approximately seven months after the release of their second mini-album 'Delulu Pack' in January. 'Delulu Pack' achieved remarkable results in both domestic and international music markets immediately upon its release, firmly establishing Kiki's presence. The title track '404 (New Era)' climbed rapidly on major domestic streaming charts including Melon HOT100, Bugs real-time chart, Genie, Flo, Vibe, YouTube Music, and Spotify Korea, securing the number one spot on all of them. On Apple Music Korea, it maintained the top position on the Popular Songs, Popular Videos, and Popular Albums charts.

In particular, "404 (New Era)" continued its steady popularity, achieving the group's first number-one position on the Melon TOP100 chart since their debut. This was followed by topping both the Circle Chart monthly digital and streaming charts, securing a double crown. Alongside this, Kiki set a meaningful record as the first monthly chart number one since their debut, further solidifying their standing.

Reactions overseas were equally enthusiastic. The 'Delulu Pack' entered the iTunes K-pop Top Albums chart in 19 countries and regions worldwide, followed by eight consecutive weeks on Billboard's Global (excluding U.S.) chart. It also achieved the milestone of entering the Billboard Global 200 chart for the first time since their debut, while making its presence felt across various other Billboard charts including Japan Hot Albums, Artist 100, and Hit Seeker Songs. Furthermore, it reached as high as second place on Japan's Oricon Weekly Streaming Rising chart, and on China's QQ Music, it simultaneously claimed the top two spots on the rising chart, with all album tracks entering the top 10.

The performance on stage was dazzling. Kiki achieved a triple crown in music shows through music show activities for "404 (New Era)" that lasted about four weeks, further imprinting the group's unique identity with her distinctive free-spirited energy and "Genzmi." In particular, her highly addictive performances spawned numerous challenges, dominating short-form platforms both domestically and internationally. Drawing on this support, Kiki continued follow-up activities for the album track "Delulu," expanding the scope of her promotions while simultaneously proving her mass appeal and newsworthiness.

As Kiki, who has demonstrated a significantly expanded musical spectrum and a unique team color through the previous work "Delulu Pack," all eyes are now on what music and performance will be featured in her upcoming album.

Meanwhile, the detailed schedule for Kiki's comeback will be announced later through official social media channels.
