WhyKiiiKiii
The 2026 summer album WhyKiiiKiii, plus Go On, the group's song for the drama 21세기 대군부인. It is a hot-weather record: slow mornings, melting ice cream, a phone on its last bar of battery, and a crush you cannot hide. The vocabulary covers the body and the bedroom on a lazy day, strong likes and dislikes, and the nerves of walking beside someone you like.
