K-pop girl group will be releasing a new digital single titled “To Me From Me” on Nov. 4, a retro-tinged song that shares the same fictional universe with their web novel, “Dear.X.” 

“‘To Me From Me” will be released simultaneously with the launch of the web novel, which will unveil all 53 episodes exclusively on Kakao Page. 

Gentle melodies that evoke nostalgic memories, paired with sincere lyrics delivered through KiiiKiii’s bubbly voices, come together in the song to highlight its retro mood. 

With the song, the members vividly unfold the story of five girls who suddenly find themselves transported to another world – yet still discover strength and comfort within themselves. In this way, “To Me From Me” offers a new layer of emotional depth that KiiiKiii has not explored before.

The song was produced by Epik High’s Tablo, who was behind the success of multiple hits, including “Umbrella (Feat. Younha)” by Epik High, and “Song Request (Feat. Suga of BTS)” by Lee So-ra. 

The web novel, also set to premiere on Nov. 4, follows the five KiiiKiii members as they unexpectedly step into a reality-like yet unfamiliar world while listening to the same song in different places. 

It portrays how they confront solitude and fear in their mission to return to the world they belong to, as well as the close-knit friendship they form along the way.

The characters in the novel were created based on the members’ personalities captured during interviews, adding a sense of realism and vitality. 

“Dear.X” is written by Kimbbang, best known as the author of the original novel that inspired the hit drama “Lovely Runner,” starring Kim Hye-yoon and Byeon Woo-seok. 

In addition, ‘Dear.X’ includes KiiiKiii's comments and other fan-dedicated content, along with a KiiiKiii-recorded web novel prologue and an epilogue audiobook, both scheduled for release on Nov. 12.  

The latest project highlights the synergy-boosting collaboration between Kakao Entertainment’s music and story divisions. KiiiKiii, represented by the company’s music label Starship Entertainment, teams up with its story unit to create a fascinating blend of sound and text with global resonance. 

KiiiKiii made their official debut with the mini-album “Uncut Gem” in March.
