Kya

Kya (키야) is the youngest member of KiiiKiii, the five-member group launched by Starship Entertainment. Born Park Ji-woo in Seoul on December 18, 2010, she arrived in the lineup with a camera-ready background that started long before idol debut, including child-model work and early public-facing content. That history matters because KiiiKiii’s identity has always leaned on personality and visual immediacy as much as music.

Starship introduced Kya as part of the group’s official member rollout ahead of KiiiKiii’s March 24, 2025 debut with Uncut Gem. She became the first idol born in 2010 to debut under the company, then moved quickly into a far bigger breakout cycle as KiiiKiii followed with Delulu Pack and the 2026 single 404 (New Era). Even as the maknae, she does not read like a background player.

Kya’s value sits in her contrast. KiiiKiii is built around a playful but tightly managed image, and she helps give that concept a younger, sharper point of view without flattening the group into novelty. In a crowded fifth-generation field, that kind of instantly readable identity matters.
