KiiiKiii has graced the cover of the March 2026 issue of Singles, marking their first anniversary since debut with a meaningful pictorial.
The concept of the shoot is “BLOOM,” symbolizing not just blossoming, but a presence that has flourished through its own strength. Surrounded by flowers, the five members shine even more vividly, reflecting their compressed growth over the past year. Their steadier gazes and relaxed poses suggest that KiiiKiii has already stepped confidently into a new chapter.
Released in January 2026, their second mini album ‘Delulu Pack’ saw its title track ‘404 (New Era)’ reach No. 1 on Melon’s TOP100 just 16 days after release. It marked the group’s first No. 1 on Melon and the first song released in 2026 to top the chart. The track has also maintained high rankings on global platforms such as YouTube Music and Apple Music, proving their expanding domestic and international fandom. Music show wins followed in succession, further solidifying their upward trajectory.
KiiiKiii debuted with their first EP ‘UNCUT GEM’ and gained the nickname “monster rookies” after sweeping major Rookie of the Year awards, including two trophies at the 2025 Melon Music Awards with ‘I DO ME.’ However, the group is no longer simply seen as a promising newcomer. True to the title ‘404 (New Era),’ they are carving out a new flow beyond existing formulas.
In the interview, the members shared, “Even after hearing the news about reaching No. 1, it didn’t feel real,” but added, “We felt that this is the time for us to show even cooler sides of ourselves.” They emphasized, “Not losing confidence and boldly expressing who we are is KiiiKiii’s signature.”
Celebrating their first debut anniversary, this cover goes beyond commemoration, serving as a record of “KiiiKiii in the present.” It captures the intersection of their rapid growth over the past year and the starting point of a new era yet to unfold.
The members also expressed their excitement, saying, “We’re so thrilled to shoot our first physical magazine cover. It feels even more special to do it for our first anniversary.” Reflecting on their chart topping achievement, they said, “At first, we couldn’t believe it. But after reaching No. 1, we realized we could work even harder,” adding, “Let’s continue to push ourselves and show even more amazing sides in the future.”
KiiiKiii’s pictorial and full interview can be found in the March 2026 issue of Singles and on the magazine’s official website. Digital content and video clips will also be released through Singles’ official YouTube channel and Instagram.
