KiiiKiii Sets Mid-August Comeback Target as Starship Confirms New Album Plans

KiiiKiii is preparing for an August return, with Starship Entertainment confirming that the group is aiming for a mid-August comeback. The KiiiKiii comeback will mark the group’s first new album activity in about seven months following the January mini album “Delulu Pack” and its title track “404 (New Era).” ¹

Starship Entertainment’s confirmation, reported by multiple Korean entertainment outlets on July 11, places the group’s next release in the middle of August, though the agency has not yet announced an exact date, album title, tracklist, format, or promotional timetable. OSEN reported that additional schedule details will be released later through KiiiKiii’s official social media channels. ²

KiiiKiii Comeback Aimed for Mid-August

The central confirmed point is the timing: KiiiKiii is working toward a mid-August comeback. Starship Entertainment said the group is “preparing for a comeback and aiming to release their new album in mid-August,” in a statement carried by Soompi. ¹ OSEN’s Korean report similarly quoted the agency as saying that KiiiKiii is accelerating preparations with a mid-August comeback as the goal. ²

The reports describe the plan as a summer return rather than a fully dated rollout. That distinction matters because, as of the July 11 reports, the agency had not disclosed a confirmed release day or a detailed promotion calendar. Dispatch / DIPE also reported that detailed information about the new album schedule will be announced later through the group’s social media channels. ³

The comeback is being framed as the group’s next step after its January release. Soompi described the planned August album as KiiiKiii’s first comeback in about seven months after “Delulu Pack” and “404 (New Era).” ¹ Maeil Business Star Today also reported that the timing would put the return about seven months after “Delulu Pack.” ⁴

Follow-Up to “Delulu Pack” and “404 (New Era)”

KiiiKiii’s January mini album “Delulu Pack” is the key reference point for the August plan. Ilgan Sports reported that the lineup consists of Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum and Kya, and positioned the upcoming release as a continuation after the group’s previous title track “404 (New Era).” ⁵

Starship Entertainment’s public wording has emphasized preparation and musical direction without disclosing specific concepts. In a statement quoted by Ilgan Sports, the agency said it was working so the group could present “new, KiiiKiii-like music.” ⁵ That statement confirms the broad direction of the comeback while leaving the musical style, concept photos, performance details and album packaging unannounced.

The earlier release also provides chart context for why the August comeback is drawing industry attention. Maeil Business Star Today reported that “404 (New Era)” had recorded No. 1 placements on Melon TOP100 and Circle’s monthly digital and streaming charts. ⁴ Those details were cited in coverage of the new comeback plan, but the reports do not provide equivalent performance targets or projections for the August album.

BNT News also reported that KiiiKiii is working on new music after the January release “Delulu Pack,” again identifying the comeback window as mid-August. ⁶ Across the source reports, the repeated confirmed facts are consistent: the group is preparing new music, the target is mid-August, and more specific scheduling is still pending.

What Remains Unannounced

No official album name has been reported in the provided sources. The same applies to the tracklist, lead single title, number of songs, physical album versions, pre-order date, showcase plans, music video release time and broadcast promotion schedule. The available reporting confirms the comeback target and the agency’s preparation status, but it does not establish those additional details.

The date language also remains deliberately broad. Some headlines describe the comeback as confirmed for mid-August, while the agency wording cited in the reports centers on preparation and a mid-August target. In practical terms, readers should treat mid-August as the confirmed comeback window from the available reports, not as a specific release date.

The agency has indicated that later announcements will come through official social channels, according to OSEN and Dispatch / DIPE. ^{2 3} Until those notices are issued, the most reliable details are the group name, the intended August timing, the agency confirmation, and the connection to the January mini album cycle.

KiiiKiii’s August comeback is therefore best understood as an officially confirmed mid-August album plan with further details still to come. The next stage of the rollout will depend on Starship Entertainment’s follow-up notices, which are expected to clarify the exact schedule and release information.
