K-Pop’s fast-rising Gen Z girl group KiiiKiii (JIYU, LEESOL, SUI, HAUM, KYA) return with their latest digital single “To Me From Me,” produced by TABLO of Epik High. Released via STARSHIP Entertainment, the heartfelt track arrives alongside the launch of KakaoPage’s new web novel Dear.X, marking a first-of-its-kind cross-platform collaboration that merges music, literature, and visual storytelling.
“To Me From Me” highlights KiiiKiii’s emotional depth and cinematic approach to pop. Built around a tender, lyrical melody, the track explores themes of nostalgia, self-reflection, and resilience, encouraging listeners to trust themselves when facing the unknown. TABLO’s production adds a warm, introspective tone, balancing KiiiKiii’s bright vocals with delicate instrumentation.
Ahead of the release, KiiiKiii teased the single through a cappella previews and surprise appearances by TABLO, Joosiq, and actor Shin Seungho on social media—generating massive anticipation among fans.
Released simultaneously with the single, Dear.X connects directly to KiiiKiii’s artistic world. Written by Kim Bbang, the acclaimed author behind Lovely Runner, the modern fantasy novel follows five characters who each hear the same mysterious song from different locations—drawing them into an alternate reality that reflects their inner struggles.
Produced over ten months, Dear.X incorporates exclusive interviews and narrative elements inspired by KiiiKiii’s members, deepening the lore of the group’s creative universe. The project underscores how KiiiKiii continue to blur the boundaries between storytelling and pop performance.
“To Me From Me” continues the momentum from KiiiKiii’s breakout debut earlier this year. Their first EP, UNCUT GEM, surpassed 30 million Spotify streams and drew praise for its Y2K-inspired aesthetic and raw emotional edge. The group’s debut single “I DO ME” racked up over 15 million music video views, while follow-up “DANCING ALONE” showcased their versatility through nostalgic, dreamlike production.
Known for their immersive and interactive rollouts—including the viral “KiiiKiii Garage Sale” campaign—the quintet has earned early praise from major outlets, like Rolling Stone, The FADER, and The Hollywood Reporter, who called them “one of the most interesting K-pop girl groups to debut in recent years.”
KiiiKiii’s “To Me From Me” is available now on all major streaming platforms. The companion web novel Dear.X is now live on KakaoPage.
