On October 28, 2025, Starship Entertainment announced an ambitious new project for their rising K-pop girl group, KiiiKiii. The five-member group is set to expand its universe through a web novel collaboration, releasing a contemporary fantasy web novel and a new digital single on November 4, 2025.
A New Chapter: The ‘Dear.X’ Web Novel Collaboration
This innovative project marks a significant step for KiiiKiii, blending their musical identity with a fictional narrative. The cross-media venture aims to deepen fan engagement by offering a new dimension to the group’s story. This move into literature is a key part of their growth in the competitive K-pop entertainment landscape.
A Story Crafted by a Renowned Author
The upcoming fantasy web novel, titled ‘Dear.X: To Me of Tomorrow From Me of Today,’ is penned by Kim Bbang, the celebrated author behind the original novel for the hit drama “Lovely Runner,” which starred Byeon WooSeok and Kim HyeYoon. The project involved a meticulous 10-month production period, during which Kim Bbang conducted extensive interviews with the KiiiKiii members—Jiyu, Yisol, Sui, Haeum, and Kiya—to authentically weave their personalities into the story.
An Epic Fantasy Web Novel Adventure
The novel is a contemporary fantasy that follows the five members as they stand on the cusp of adulthood. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they are transported to another world, where they must embark on a perilous adventure to find their friends and a way back home. This unique fantasy web novel will launch exclusively on KakaoPage on November 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM KST, offering fans a brand-new way to connect with the group.
Music and Narrative Intertwined
Coinciding with the web novel’s release, KiiiKiii will also drop a new digital single, ‘To Me From Me.’ The song shares the same thematic worldview as the novel, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for fans. This strategy of linking music directly with a fictional narrative is a creative approach to world-building that allows the group to showcase their artistic versatility beyond the stage.
KiiiKiii’s Meteoric Rise in K-Pop Entertainment
KiiiKiii, who debuted under Starship Entertainment in March 2025 with their first EP album ‘UNCUT GEM,’ have already made a significant impact. The K-pop girl group achieved a remarkable feat by winning first place on MBC’s “Show! Music Core” with their title track ‘I DO ME’ just 13 days after their debut. This early success has established them as a formidable force, part of a new generation of dominant artists in the industry. This new web novel collaboration further solidifies their status as innovators in K-pop entertainment, following a trend of rising female groups. The group’s rapid ascent is a testament to their talent and their agency’s forward-thinking strategy.
