In a dazzling moment of triumph, rookie girl group Kiiikiii clinched their first-ever music show win on the April 5th broadcast of MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’, marking a milestone in their rising career.
During the competition for the No.1 spot, Kiiikiii’s debut track ‘I Do Me’ went head-to-head with LE SSERAFIM’s ‘Hot’ and Jennie’s ‘Like Jennie’. Kiiikiii emerged victorious with a total of 5,936 points, scoring 4,088 in music and album sales, 834 in broadcast and video metrics, 492 in pre-voting, and 522 in live voting. Jennie came in second with 5,650 points, and LE SSERAFIM placed third with 5,367 points.
Visibly emotional, JiU, the group’s leader, took to the stage and said,
“This is the very first win for Kiiikiii since our debut, and it’s such an honor to receive it on Music Core. Thank you so much to everyone who’s shown us love and support. We’re so grateful to the staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes for Team Kiiikiii.”
Member Sui added tearfully,
“Thank you to our Starship family who believed in us from the beginning and worked so hard to get us here. And most importantly, to our fans—we love you!”
Kiiikiii treated fans to a high-energy performance of ‘I Do Me’, followed by ‘BTG’, a follow-up track from their debut album ‘UNCUT GEM’. The group has announced plans to continue promotions with ‘BTG’ on upcoming music programs.
Kiiikiii’s long-awaited first win is already making waves across fandom communities, with fans flooding social media with congratulatory messages and trending the hashtag #Kiiikiii1stWin.
The journey has just begun for Kiiikiii—and with their charm, confidence, and dedicated fanbase, this gem of a group is clearly shining brighter than ever.
