K-pop girl group Kiss of Life kicked off its first world tour, “KISS ROAD,” with two concerts in Seoul over the weekend.

The group expressed its heartfelt gratitude to fans after performing at the Olympic Hall in Songpa District, Seoul, on Saturday and Sunday.

“Through these concerts, we realized once again that we cannot exist without our fandom 'KISSY.' We received such good energy as we heard our fans’ voices that filled the venue,” the group said through its agency S2 Entertainment. “We will continue to work hard to show you our best while keeping the mindset we’ve had since the beginning.”

Opening the show with its latest song, “Get Loud,” released earlier this month, the four-piece act performed a string of its hit songs, including “Igloo,” “Bad News,” “Te Quiero,” “Sticky,” “Midas Touch,” “Shhh” and “Bye My Neverland.”

The four members — Julie, Natty, Belle and Haneul — presented each of their solo songs, “Kitty Cat,” “Sugarcoat,” “Countdown” and “Play Love Games,” respectively, from their debut album “KISS OF LIFE.”

The group also showcased the unreleased song “Winehouse,” an R&B-style song with a soft and emotional melody topped with the members’ sweet vocals and Julie's rapping.

“Kiss of Life filled their entire set list with their own unique music. The band left a deep impression as an irreplaceable girl group by simultaneously showcasing its broad musical spectrum, unbounded by genre from hip-hop to rock, R&B and ballads as well as its vocal abilities and performances,” the agency said.

Following the Seoul concert, the group will continue its "KISS ROAD" world tour in North America, traveling to around 20 cities including Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle and Vancouver.

The aspiring group, which debuted in July 2023, conquered charts with its breakout track “Sticky” from the digital single of the same name this July. The song captured global audiences, topping iTunes charts in various countries, including Peru, Thailand, Taiwan and France. "Sticky" also made it onto the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales Chart, a first for the K-pop girl group. The summer single also landed at No. 87 on the Billboard 200.

The music video for “Sticky” scored 1 million views on YouTube soon after its release, making its way onto global trending video charts.

The group released its third mini-album “Lose Yourself” on Oct. 15, seeing its highest record sales of 91,000 copies in the first week of the album’s release.

“'Lose Yourself' is an album that musically expresses the process of immersing into something. The title track 'Get Loud' highlights the shining moments of those finding new sides of themselves as they immerse into things they love. Including the title track, 'R.E.M,' which captures R&B sensibilities, and 'Igloo,' a hip-hop track featuring chill yet hot charm, are attracting listeners,” S2 Entertainment said of the album.
