Earlier this month, fans were excited to learn that Malaysian K-pop trainee Lingling (링링) will finally make her long-awaited debut. The 20-year-old, who first gained public attention through the K-pop survival show “I-LAND 2,” is set to debut in a global girl group under South Korean agency Lean Branding.

Since the first announcement, the label has been building up anticipation for their new group, recently dropping the first teaser image, logo and name for the group – revealing them as KIIRAS (키라스). While we wait for the girl group’s official debut on 29th May (Thursday), here’s what we know about them so far:

The Meaning Behind The Group’s Name

According to Naver Entertainment, the name KIIRAS is a combination of the Korean word for energy, “기/氣” (pronounced ki) and the English word “rascal”. The group’s name represents the bold ambition to become lovable and charming yet “mischievous” idols in the K-pop industry.

The Group Will Have Six Members

Lean Branding also confirmed that KIIRAS will have six members. Besides Lingling, the girl group will include one Japanese member and four Korean members. The group will introduce the other members soon – but a previously released image gave fans a first glimpse of the girls.

In the first teaser image, which also revealed the group’s official logo, we learn that the group will make their official debut on 29th May 2025 (Thursday). Unfortunately, there aren’t many details on their first release, but the group is likely dropping a digital single since this is common for new idols.

KIIRAS’ debut is also significant as the girls will work with some of K-pop’s best producers and writers. Singer-songwriter SAAAY (쎄이) confirmed her participation in the group’s debut, acting as producer and vocal trainer. K-pop producer DEEZ (디즈) also helped produce the debut track. Both SAAAY and DEEZ have worked with the likes of aespa (에스파), Baekhyun (백현) and VIVIZ (비비지).

According to news outlets, KIIRAS will introduce a unique and different concept that no idol group has attempted, demonstrating their presence as the “next generation hot rookie” in K-pop. We wish the girls all the best in their debut! Are you excited for KIIRAS?
