KiiiKiii's TIMA Stage Preparation Process... "First Dance Break with Dancers"

The group KiiiKiii shared their preparation process, filled with both tension and excitement, ahead of their stage at the 2026 TIMA awards. A behind-the-scenes video released through KiiiKiii's official channel captures the members practicing stage movements and changing costumes to prepare for the main performance.

"Transforming immediately after Leca" Urgent costume changes and dance breaks

At this TIMA stage, KiiiKiii will showcase two contrasting sides. The members shared that they had to change clothes immediately after finishing the 'Leca' stage to prepare for the next performance. In particular, a major change is that they are performing on stage with dancers for the first time during this activity. The members explained their preparation process, mentioning that they will perform both 'Four Four' and 'Papa Papa' with dancers, presenting a stage that includes a dance break for the first time.

The tension just before the stage was also revealed. The members mentioned that time was tight after the Leca stage, requiring them to change costumes very quickly, and they also discussed costume details, such as the large ribbons attached to the outfits for this stage. At a point about one hour before the stage began, they recorded their pre-stage moments, such as taking selfies while sporting curly hairstyles different from their usual look.

"Let's line up" Checking stage movements and choreography details

Before taking the stage, the members meticulously checked their formations and movements to increase the perfection of the choreography. In the video, the members show the process of aligning their formations, saying, "Let's line up." While aligning the performance formation, KiiiKiii identified parts where positions were misaligned and adjusted the spacing between the front and back rows as well as diagonal positions. In particular, when a situation occurred where movements did not match at a specific position, they focused on matching the choreography by discussing how to move positions to maintain the formation.

The members showed that they paid attention to detailed aspects, such as movements on stage and eye contact. During the process of matching choreography movements, the members worked to create a perfect formation by checking each other's positions.

Wishing for luck and small daily routines before the stage

While waiting for the stage, the members relieved their tension by sharing their small individual habits and items. One member mentioned a lucky turtle decoration attached to the costume, sharing, "For luck to come, this lucky turtle has to fall off again." They also continued everyday conversations before the stage, mentioning preferences such as black tea, milk tea, or iced tea that they usually enjoy drinking.

As they have prepared for this stage bit by bit, the members finished their preparations for the stage, expressing their desire to show a wonderful performance with the dancers to Tiki.
