A member of Starship Entertainment’s newly debuted girl group KiiiKiii has quickly become a hot topic online. Her name is Jiyu, and thanks to her striking visuals and unconventional styling, she is currently the talk of town.
Unlike the polished and glamorous looks often seen on rookie idols, Jiyu’s distinctive appearance has captured the attention of both Korean and international K-Pop fans.
In KiiiKiii’s latest music video, Jiyu stands out with a short, slightly unkempt hairstyle paired with two thin braids trailing down her back. The look has drawn comparisons to characters from independent short films, with many netizens saying she gives off the aura of a main protagonist — someone you can’t help but root for.
