K-pop rookie group KIIIKIII is heading to Japan for a major television debut.
TV DEBUT IN JAPAN
On November 8, KIIIKIII will appear on NHK’s popular music program Venue 101, where they will perform their breakout debut single “I Do Me.” The group is expected to charm Japanese viewers with their upbeat energy and signature free-spirited confidence.
A representative shared, “KIIIKIII will showcase their unique charm and prove their growing global influence through this stage.”
From Fast-Rising Rookie to Record-Breaking Newcomer
KIIIKIII first entered the K-pop scene in March with their debut EP “Uncut Gem.” The group made headlines by winning first place on MBC’s Show! Music Core just 13 days after their debut a rare feat for a rookie group.
They continued to dominate throughout the year, ranking No.1 in the Idol Brand Reputation Index for four consecutive months and earning five Rookie of the Year awards, including the 2025 Brand Customer Loyalty Grand Prize in the “New Female Idol” category.
New Music and Expanding Global Reach
Earlier this month, KIIIKIII released “To Me From Me,” a sentimental track produced by Epik High’s Tablo. The song serves as the OST for the popular web novel “Dear X: To Tomorrow’s Me, From Today’s Me.” KIKI also participated as the project’s main character, blending storytelling and music in a new, emotional way.
Their global activities continue to gain momentum. On November 3, KIIIKIII performed as the only K-pop girl group at the Music Expo Live 2025 held at Tokyo Dome, showcasing their star power to a crowd of over 50,000 fans.
