Held on 20 June at Inspire Arena in Incheon, KiiiKiii (Jiwoo, Lee Sol, Sui, Haum, Kiya) won a Main Prize at the ceremony. The group added meaning to the moment with their continued momentum from their January mini album Delulu Pack, led by the title track “404 (New Era)”, which has seen steady chart performance and strong public support.

In their message through Starship Entertainment, KiiiKiii shared that “Delulu Pack” and “404 (New Era)” made this year feel like a “gift-like beginning” thanks to their fandom TIKI. They also reflected on last year’s Seoul Music Awards, where they received the Rookie Award, saying the memory is still vivid and the feeling is renewed and grateful. The group added that they hope to continue delivering joy and energy through more music, concepts, and performances.

The night also marked a standout moment for Lee Sol, who took on MC duties at the ceremony. With previous experience in music show hosting, she drew attention for her more refined visuals, clear delivery, and quick reactions, helping lift the atmosphere throughout the show and showing clear growth as an MC.

KiiiKiii also delivered a special performance that brought extra energy to the venue. They opened with “Underdogs”, a track that had already gained strong reactions during fan concerts, showcasing sharper choreography and stronger stage presence. They then performed a retro version of “404 (New Era)”, offering a fresh reinterpretation of the track with a brighter, more playful feel, followed by a powerful dance break that highlighted their signature energy.

Since their January release of Delulu Pack, KiiiKiii has achieved a music show win for “404 (New Era)” and recorded their first monthly chart No. 1. The group also stayed on Billboard’s “Global (Excl. U.S.)” chart for eight consecutive weeks and appeared on multiple Billboard Japan charts including Hot Albums, Artist 100, and Heatseekers Songs.

Beyond music, KiiiKiii has expanded into fashion, beauty, finance, and food endorsements, and ranked No. 1 in rookie idol brand reputation for three consecutive months from March to May 2026. Their first fan concert KiiiKiii FesTiiival further showcased their live and performance strength, adding to their rising profile.

KiiiKiii continues to meet fans weekly through their self-produced content “KiiiKiii PangPang” Season 2 every Friday at 7 PM.
