KiiiKiii Sets August Comeback Following Breakout Success

Rookie group KiiiKiii is gearing up for its second comeback of 2026.

The group is preparing to release a new album in mid-August, marking its first comeback in about seven months since the release of its second mini-album, "Delulu Pack," in January. Starship Entertainment confirmed to K-POPIT on July 10 that KiiiKiii is currently preparing for a mid-August return.

The comeback follows a breakout year for the rookie group. The title track "404 (New Era)" from "Delulu Pack" reached No. 1 on Melon's Top 100 just 16 days after its release, becoming the first song released in 2026 to top the chart. It also earned the group's first monthly No. 1 on the platform and collected three music show trophies.

With "404 (New Era)," KiiiKiii established itself as one of this year's fastest-rising K-POP acts. The upcoming release will mark the group's second comeback this year as it looks to build on its growing momentum both in Korea and overseas.
