The situation
KiiiKiii has landed the cover of NYLON Japan's September 2026 issue, marking their first Japanese magazine cover. The group, who debuted less than a year ago, is featured in a cool black coord, a departure from their usual cute image. Meanwhile, Taehyun of TOMORROW X TOGETHER is also featured in the issue, representing his group in a solo capacity.
What the internet did with it
- — "their concept photos are giving me *_ėŽėīëĪ_* (a refreshing, satisfying feeling), can't wait to see the full spread"
- The issue also announces the winners of NYLON's "NEXT" awards, with KiiiKiii taking the K-POP girls group category and TOMORROW X TOGETHER winning the K-POP boys group category.
- A long interview with KiiiKiii is included in the issue, showcasing their mature side, with some fans noting that their answers sound unusually adult for a group still in their teens.

The open question
The exact release date of the issue and whether KiiiKiii will participate in any promotional activities for the magazine have not been confirmed, leaving fans wondering what's next for the group's Japanese promotions.
