Girl group KiiiKiii has hinted at limitless musical expansion.

KiiiKiii (Ji-yu, Lee Sol, Su-i, Ha-eum, Kiya) released the highlight medley for their third mini-album 'WhyKiiiKiii(WaiKiiiKiii)', set to be released on the 10th, via official SNS on the 3rd.

The video was structured as a short post on social media. The use of imagery symbolizing each track and creative direction leveraging actual SNS features enhanced immersion while stimulating viewers' emotions, drawing even more attention.

The upbeat and refreshing 'Ever2Late!' depicted freedom through various scenes of airplanes flying across the sky, while 'Hey Hi', with its light and cheerful energy, added intrigue through a witty concept of choosing between breakfast and dessert. The title track 'Pop Off Pop Off' saw KiiiKiii members showcase styling trends from the past, resonating with many to the rhythm that evokes nostalgia.

Meanwhile, 'SWEET SOUR', featuring sophisticated electronic pop sound, proposed a 'Truth Game,' evoking fresh school days, while 'Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone (What Should I Do?)' added Y2K sensibility and kitsch through a text message concept using the nostalgic mobile phone 'Magic Hole.' The final track 'Blue Hour' conveyed lingering impressions at the end of the day by incorporating a feature to leave star ratings alongside an animation of shooting stars falling in the night sky.

Notably, this highlight medley gathered listeners' attention with its lavish collaboration lineup. Omega Sapiens, who contributed lyrics to KiiiKiii's '404 (New Era)', Lil Cherry, who participated in 'DEBUT SONG' and 'BTG', and lyricist Lee Seul-ah, who collaborated on numerous tracks including 'ONE OFF', 'Strawberry Cheesegame', and 'Delulu', lent their talents once again. Additionally, R&B singer and producer SUMIN, rapper CAMO, singer-songwriters The Deep, Effie, iiso, Yoon Da-hye, ZIN CHOI, and indie group 'Tomato Taste'—all currently prominent figures in the Korean pop music scene across various genres—made a major appearance.

This lineup represents a combination of participants rarely seen in existing K-pop, previewing trendy music encompassing electronic pop, hyperpop, synthpop, and other diverse genres, raising expectations for the album's high level of completion. Furthermore, even with only a portion of the released tracks, KiiiKiii members' distinctive vocals and broad musical adaptability were showcased, further boosting anticipation for the new album.

'WhyKiiiKiii(WaiKiiiKiii)' is an album that encapsulates KiiiKiii's bolder musical challenges and unique visual creativity, most vividly showing where the group currently stands and where they aim to go next. Through this album, they plan to present their individuality, freedom, wit, and sensibility as a single sensory course, offering an even more three-dimensional and original musical world.
