KiiiKiii earned a major milestone in Japan, taking home an award at a local music ceremony.

On January 28, KiiiKiii won the K-Pop Girl Group category at the NYLON'S NEXT 2026 AWARDS, held in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The ceremony is based on NYLON Japan's special "NYLON'S NEXT" project, which spotlights artists expected to make a strong impact in the coming year.

"We're truly happy and honored to receive an award at a global ceremony," the group said. "Winning in the K-Pop girl group category makes this even more meaningful."

They also shared their ambitions going forward. "We'll continue to grow as artists who help lead K-Pop with great music and performances, living up to the meaning of this award."

KiiiKiii recently made a comeback with their second mini album Delulu Pack and promised to meet fans through performances of "404 (New Era)." They asked their fandom, TIKI, to look forward to the stage.

The group previously appeared on the cover of NYLON Japan's March issue. Their agency noted that KiiiKiii proved both "next-generation pictorial mastery" and a growing global icon presence.

Meanwhile, KiiiKiii released Delulu Pack on January 26 and is set to appear on Music Bank on January 30.
