STARSHIP Entertainment has announced that rising girl group KiiiKiii will release their 3rd mini album on August 10, 2026, via an interactive travel website and multiple vintage teasers.

The “KiiiKiii Travel” website (kiiikiii.kr) includes a fictional island and tour, promotional images for fictional brands, and further tour guides using 90s and early 2000s imagery which will unlock as the group’s promotional period progresses. It is complete with reviews, sponsors surrounding each of the five members’ names, and a ticket booking function that offers users a downloadable boarding pass.

While currently unconfirmed, many fans suspect that each teaser and the website’s subsequent listing of the tours they represent form the album’s tracklist: “Ever2Late!”, “Hey Hi,” “Pop Off Pop Off,” “SWEET SOUR,” “Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone

(나 어떡해),” and “Blue Hour.”

The use of such a detailed website immediately gives this KiiiKiii comeback a unique edge in the industry, allowing fans to be immersed into the promotions rather than solely remaining spectators, while the images themselves go even further. Some of the teaser images showcased on the website include flip phones and unicorn-themed accessories, and all are coloured and edited in styles typical of the early 2000s. Led by creative director Byheyone, the concept that the group initially established through Y2K, digital imagery in the music video for “404 (New Era)” has expanded to become KiiiKiii’s signature.

The aforementioned title track of KiiiKiii’s 2nd mini album Delulu Pack, “404 (New Era),” identified the group as one to watch. The song went viral online following its release in January for its catchy, hip-hop hook and in part also for its nostalgic theme. It reached number one on the MelOn TOP100, later becoming the most popular girl group song on the platform throughout February, and has been recognised internationally as Billboard’s number one K-pop song so far this year.

WhyKiiiKiii will be KiiiKiii’s first release since the success of “404 (New Era),” and will determine whether the group will maintain their present prominence in the industry. Additionally, the project’s reception will indicate whether the growing trend of nostalgia and early 2000s imagery within K-pop concepts – seen also in releases by NewJeans, IVE and NCT 127 – is a temporary phase or will continue to perform well.

Various sections of the website will be unlocked and offer new information about the release prior to the final unveiling on August 10.
