Kiki “Debuting as Ive‘s juniors, more of an honor than a burden... Thank you for the encouragement and advice”

New girl group KiiiKiii (Kiki: JiU, Lee Sol, Sui, Haeum, Kiya) confessed that they were honored to debut as ‘Ive’s juniors’.

At the showcase to commemorate the release of their first mini-album ‘UNCUT GEM’, held at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Itaewon-ro, Seoul at 2 PM on the 24th, Sui said, “Debuting as Ive‘s seniors’ juniors, rather than feeling burdened, I am honored to be able to debut as the juniors of such great and respectable seniors. Just like our seniors, we want to show that we will work harder with our own unique colors”.

Regarding the advice from our seniors, Kiya confided, “Ive seniors encouraged us and gave us a lot of encouragement and advice, so I was so grateful and happy”. Jiyu expressed her gratitude, saying, “I practiced with Ive seniors when I was a trainee. I‘m so grateful that Ive seniors cheered me on.”

Kiki’s debut album, ‘Uncut Gem,’ is an album that is even more charming because it is unrefined, like Kiki‘s declaration of war to the music industry. The six tracks, including the pre-debut song ’I DO ME,‘ which was released last month, contain Kiki’s endless questions toward youth. With beautiful and colorful melodies, she asks questions to the world and portrays her aspiration to move forward in a cheerful direction without forcing anything. The album will be released at 6 p.m.
