KiiiKiii to Return Aug. 10 With 'WhyKiiiKiii'
'WhyKiiiKiii' arrives august 10 and the teaser site issues you an actual boarding pass. every other marketing team should be taking notes right now.
so KiiiKiii are coming back on august 10 with 'WhyKiiiKiii' and instead of a normal schedule poster they built an entire fake travel agency. i'm serious. there is a website. it has a functioning booking flow. we have entered a new era of rollout.
here's the bit: you put in your name, a departure point, a date and a ticket type, and the site hands you back a boarding pass with WhyKiiiKiii listed as the destination. i filled it out immediately and so will you. no bc why is this better designed than most actual airlines i have flown.
the whole thing sits on a six-destination tour map, with each member illustrated as a tour guide working her own retro theme — heavy Y2K, vintage-advertisement energy, the kind of art direction that makes you want to print it and frame it. the site's whole invitation is to “discover the answer,” and it's promising six summers with six guides, one per member.
promo kicked off july 19 and the concept ties straight back to the album, which is apparently about working out why you should stay exactly as you already are. a record about self-trust, packaged as a holiday you can't physically attend. it's giving depth. it's giving girls who read.
august 10. boarding pass in hand. i fear this rollout quietly raised the bar for everybody else and they haven't noticed yet.

IVE to Release New EP 'Looks Can Kill' on Oct. 26
a pre-release on the 19th, the full thing on the 26th — october belongs to the DIVEs now.
IVE said october is theirs and honestly who's going to argue.
on September 27, the group announced their new EP 'Looks Can Kill,' and they're doing the whole rollout: a pre-release single drops October 19, with the full album following October 26. a two-part gift for a fanbase that's been extremely patient.
the title alone is doing something — 'Looks Can Kill' is such an IVE move, all confidence and main-character energy. if the last era taught us anything, it's that these girls do not release a dud.
DIVE, clear the calendar and hydrate. the manifestation queens are back and the countdown starts now. 🔪
