KiiiKiii, the five-member girl group making waves as Starship Entertainment’s latest sensation, has landed the coveted digital cover for Marie Claire Korea’s May 2025 issue in collaboration with CHANEL BEAUTY. The cover, released on April 30, showcases members Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya styled in CHANEL’s signature elegance, capturing both the group’s youthful energy and the timeless sophistication of the luxury brand. 

Fans and industry watchers alike have praised the shoot, with particular attention to the group’s standout visuals and the harmonious composition of the images. Observers noted how Jiyu perfectly embodies the essence of CHANEL, while Kya’s lighter hair-first noticed during their “BTG” promotions-has become a talking point for its striking effect.

Since debuting on March 24, 2025, with their EP Uncut Gem, KiiiKiii has quickly established themselves as one of the year’s most promising rookie groups. Their pre-release single “I Do Me” stormed domestic charts and topped YouTube’s trending videos in Korea, signaling a strong start for the group. Their unique “country girl” aesthetic, a refreshing twist in the K-pop scene, has drawn attention from both critics and fans, positioning them as potential new leaders of their generation.

The group’s momentum shows no sign of slowing. KiiiKiii recently celebrated their first music show win on Show! Music Core with “I Do Me,” a significant milestone for any rookie act. Looking ahead, the group is set to appear at major events including KCON Japan 2025 in Chiba, the Asia Star Entertainer Awards in Yokohama, and the LIV Golf Korea 2025 in Incheon. Their schedule is packed with performances on top music shows such as KBS Music Bank, SBS Inkigayo, and M Countdown, where they continue to promote tracks from their debut EP.

Fans can expect more from KiiiKiii as they continue to build their presence both in Korea and internationally. With their fresh approach to style and music, as well as high-profile partnerships like the Marie Claire Korea x CHANEL BEAUTY cover, KiiiKiii is poised to become a defining act in the next wave of K-pop
