KiiiKiii will hold their first overseas fan concert, "KiiiKiii Festival Japan Edition," at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on the 25th. All tickets for the event, which follows the group's May performances in Seoul, have been sold out.

The group KiiiKiii will hold their debut overseas fan concert, "KiiiKiii Festival Japan Edition," at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo, Japan, at 6:00 p.m. on the 25th. According to agency Starship Entertainment, the performance will take place with all tickets sold out. This stage continues the "KiiiKiii Festival" series, which was first presented in Seoul this past May. While the Seoul performance featured signature songs, B-sides, cover stages, and exclusive fan concert performances, KiiiKiii will change the setlist and composition for the Japanese show. The group has also teased a performance of "Pop Off Pop Off," the title track from their third mini-album "Waikiki" released this past August. Key elements of the show include segments based on pre-event fan surveys and the experience the group has gained on domestic and international stages, including Japan, since their debut.

Fan concert started in Seoul, first solo overseas performance in Tokyo

The "KiiiKiii Festival Japan Edition" follows the group's first fan concert held in Seoul in May. According to the agency, the Seoul performances took place on May 16 and 17 at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall. The Tokyo performance marks KiiiKiii's first overseas fan concert since their debut, with all local Japanese tickets sold out. The Tokyo show will be held at Zepp Haneda starting at 6:00 p.m. on the 25th. The schedules for the Seoul and Tokyo performances are as follows:

Category Performance Days Number of Performances
Seoul Fan Concert 2 days 2 times
Tokyo Fan Concert 1 day 1 time

KiiiKiii is a group consisting of Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya. According to the agency, the group has participated in domestic and international stages since their official debut in March 2025. At their first fan concert in Seoul, they performed signature songs such as "404" and "Dancing Alone," along with B-sides and special performances exclusive to the fan concert. The agency stated that the performance videos and stage production captured KiiiKiii's unique wit and received a positive response from Tiki, the official fan club. The Seoul shows were held offline, and the May 17 performance was also available via paid online live streaming through Beyond LIVE.

Different setlist from Seoul... Teasing the third mini-album title track

The Tokyo performance will not simply repeat the Seoul fan concert stage. The agency stated that they plan to provide a different experience from the Seoul show by changing the setlist and composition for the Japanese performance. While the signature songs, B-sides, and special performances were the main components of the Seoul stage, interest is growing regarding which songs and performances will be added for the Tokyo show.

In Seoul, KiiiKiii performed "404" and "Dancing Alone." According to previous fan concert information, they also performed covers of IVE's "Kitsch" and f(x)'s "4 Walls." The Seoul performances included not only singing stages but also special performances, video content, and stage production designed specifically for the fan concert.

"Pop Off Pop Off" is the title track of the third mini-album "Waikiki," released in August. The agency has presented the performance of this song as a key highlight for the Tokyo show. The title track of the second mini-album, "Delulu Pack," was "404." Performance-related materials noted that this song reached number one on domestic music charts and entered the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for eight consecutive weeks. It is confirmed that the group is preparing a different setlist from the Seoul show and plans to include stages for new songs.

Questions, covers, and dance challenges based on fan surveys

The Tokyo performance will include segments based on pre-event surveys reflecting fan opinions. Prior to the concert, KiiiKiii received suggestions regarding questions fans are curious about, cover stages they wish to see, and dance challenges they want to watch. The agency stated they will present special content based on the opinions gathered through these surveys. The items announced for the pre-survey included questions, cover stages, and dance challenges.

During the Seoul fan concert, KiiiKiii presented song stages along with video content and stage production. For this upcoming show, they will organize content that both KiiiKiii and Tiki can enjoy using the opinions submitted by fans in advance. The pre-concert survey was conducted to receive various suggestions, ranging from questions about the members to cover stages and dance challenges. The agency explained that they will present special content reflecting fan opinions. In Seoul, Tiki responded well to the videos and production containing KiiiKiii's wit, and for this show, they will continue fan participation by adding the content collected from the pre-survey to the concert composition.

Tiki is the name of KiiiKiii's official fan club. KiiiKiii announced the recruitment of the official fan club Tiki this year and communicates with fans through the fan platform Berriz. The survey was a process where fans suggested what they wanted to see before the concert, and KiiiKiii prepared concert content based on those suggestions. The agency announced plans to present special content based on the opinions gathered through the pre-survey.

Continuing experience from Japanese and U.S. festivals and broadcast stages

Since their debut, KiiiKiii has participated in music events and festival stages in Japan. According to the agency, the group appeared at "KCON JAPAN 2025" and NHK's "MUSIC EXPO LIVE 2025" last year. This year, they also performed at the global music festival "Head in the Clouds Tokyo 2026" and the Nippon TV music special program "THE MUSIC DAY 2026." Following their continuous appearances on Japanese events and broadcast stages, they are now holding a solo fan concert in Tokyo. This is their first overseas fan concert to meet Japanese fans, and all tickets are sold out.

They have also continued performance activities in regions outside of Japan. In August, KiiiKiii appeared at "Head in the Clouds LA 2026" held in the United States. Performance-related materials stated that KiiiKiii received a positive response from the audience while delivering live vocals and performances at that stage. The original materials also stated that the group has performed at various award ceremonies and university festivals both domestically and internationally. Following festivals in Japan and the United States, broadcast stages, and domestic performances, the stage KiiiKiii will present at the Tokyo fan concert will include recent releases and content reflecting the fan surveys.

KiiiKiii's music activities were also introduced ahead of the concert. The title track "404" from the second mini-album "Delulu Pack" reached number one on Melon TOP100 and entered the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for eight consecutive weeks. According to reference materials, the song also achieved three music show wins and recorded its first monthly chart number one since debut. The agency added that the follow-up track "Pop Off Pop Off" also achieved success on domestic and international music charts. Data has also been released showing that KiiiKiii recorded seven rookie awards in their debut year and a total of 13 awards, including the "Music Video of the Year" award for their debut song "I Do Me." This Tokyo performance is their first overseas fan concert held amidst these ongoing activities.

KiiiKiii will hold "KiiiKiii Festival Japan Edition" at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on the 25th at 6:00 p.m. The concert will feature a different setlist from the Seoul show, a performance of the third mini-album title track "Pop Off Pop Off," and content based on the pre-surveys. The agency aims to extend the fan concert series, which began in Seoul, to the overseas stage through this performance with Japanese fans.
