[USER PARABOLA= Kim Ha-young reporter] The group KiiiKiii has achieved a three-award sweep on music shows, continuing their unstoppable rise.

Kiki (Jiwoo, Lee Sol, Suhee, Hahm, Kija) has topped the Mnet "M Countdown" chart for the second week of February with their new song "404 (New Era)" on the 12th broadcast. This marks Kiki's first-ever No. 1 on "M Countdown" since their debut, and following their previous wins on "Show Champion" and "Show! Music Core," they have become a triple champion on music shows, firmly establishing their presence on stage.

Through Starship Entertainment, Kiki said, "These days, I am happy and grateful to be able to share joyful news with my official fan club, TIKI, every day. It's even more exciting that we've reached number one on music shows three times. Most of all, I have always wanted to become a proud artist for the fans who sincerely support me, and it feels like I'm getting closer to that dream, which makes me feel overwhelmed and motivated to work harder." She added, "I sincerely thank everyone who has shown expectation and interest in TIKI and '404 (New Era).' I will do my best in the remaining activities to convey TIKI's charm and the joy of '404' to more people."

On this stage, Kiki attracted attention with a pink-toned vintage velvet training set, which had sparked discussions through concept photos and dance videos. The styling with a retro feel stirred nostalgia among viewers, earning enthusiastic responses. Starting with an energetic intro, they continued with stable live performances based on diverse vocals, and added vitality to the stage with dynamic choreography.

"404 (New Era)" is the title track of Kiki Mini's second album "Delulu Pack," released on April 26th. The song combines an addictive beat based on UK house and garage sounds with distinctive vocals and rapping. It has captured the hearts of many listeners with its highly addictive melody and choreography, as well as lyrics that showcase Kiki's unique sense of humor.

This song reached No. 1 on the Melon TOP100 chart just 16 days after its release, and as of today (13th) at 8 a.m., it still maintains the top position on the chart, proving its strong popularity. In addition, it has also topped the HOT100 and daily charts (as of November 11th), making it a record that has drawn even more attention as it is the first such achievement among songs released this year.

Along with reaching the top of the daily and weekly charts on YouTube Music, the popular charts on Apple Music, and the real-time, daily, and weekly charts on Bugs, it also entered the charts on Spotify, ranking 1st on 'Top 50 Korea,' 2nd on 'Viral 50 Korea,' and even charted on 'Viral 50 Global,' demonstrating its formidable power in the music industry.

The strong performance continues on global charts. '404 (New Era)' has entered the K-pop Top Songs chart in 17 countries and regions on iTunes as of 10 p.m. on the 12th, and the new album 'Delulu Pack' also maintains its position on the K-pop Top Albums chart in 13 countries and regions. In addition, it ranked 2nd on the Oricon Weekly Streaming Rising Chart (February 2-8), and as of the 11th, it is listed on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart and Hot Shot Songs chart, showing a rising trend.

With Kiki's new song "404 (New Era)" spreading across global charts beyond the domestic market, Kiki is continuing to shine with remarkable performances both on and off stage, leading to a record of three music show wins.

Meanwhile, Kiki is scheduled to perform the stage of "404 (New Era)" on KBS2's "Music Bank" broadcast at 5:25 p.m. today (13th), and Suwi and Kija are expected to appear as special MCs, showcasing their diverse charm.
