KiiiKiii moved by BTS Jung Kook's support, hopes for dance challenge

K-pop girl group KiiiKiii expressed their gratitude for the continuous interest from senior artists, including BTS's Jung Kook, raising expectations for their global activities.

Appearing on SBS Power FM's 'Wendy's Young Street' on the 17th, KiiiKiii shared updates on their recent activities, including the release of their third mini-album, 'Waikiki'.

Having recently released their new album, KiiiKiii has garnered significant attention after receiving consecutive shoutouts from senior artists such as Uhm Jeong-hwa and Jung Kook. During the broadcast, the group expressed their thanks directly, showing their excitement over the interest directed toward them.

In particular, the mention by Jung Kook felt even more special to KiiiKiii. After witnessing Jung Kook listening to their music during a live broadcast, the group expressed deep gratitude for the senior artist's support.

They then elicited laughter by sending a cute "love call," saying, "It would be great if you could join the challenge as well." This was an honest expression of their desire for the interest to evolve beyond simple fandom into a musical exchange between senior and junior artists.

Recently, in the K-pop market, dance challenges have established themselves as an important promotional method that expands musical touchpoints between artists, moving beyond simple promotional content. In particular, when a top artist with a global fandom directly mentions a junior group's song or participates in its content, it rapidly draws public attention to the track.

KiiiKiii also appears to place great significance on the fact that their music is reaching senior artists and fans through Jung Kook's shoutout.

The group also expressed sincere joy regarding news that global pop star Charlie Puth identified KiiiKiii as an artist to watch. KiiiKiii reacted by saying, "We were truly happy," while expressing admiration for Puth's signature soulful and emotional music.

Furthermore, they revealed a wish to one day collaborate musically with Puth. This indicates their intention to not merely be satisfied with receiving attention from famous international artists, but to actively expand their musical horizons through real collaborations.

As KiiiKiii continues to draw interest from senior artists through their new album promotions, all eyes are on their future steps. From Jung Kook's shoutout to the potential for a collaboration with Charlie Puth, interest is growing to see how KiiiKiii will expand their presence in the global music market.
