Kya
Kya (키야), born Park Ji-woo (박지우) on December 18, 2010, in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, is the maknae of KiiiKiii and the first idol born in 2010 to debut under Starship Entertainment. She began her career in front of cameras well before K-pop: Kya worked as a child model and ran a YouTube channel called BeautyDuty TV during her early years. That visible, confident presence in front of a lens translated directly into how she carries herself on stage.
Before settling at Starship, Kya spent approximately three months as an apprentice at P NATION, PSY's label, before moving to Starship Entertainment. The brief P NATION period has been discussed by fans as a window into how agencies evaluate young talent before formal training agreements are signed. Kya debuted with KiiiKiii on March 24, 2025, with the group's first mini-album "UNCUT GEM." At 14 years old at debut, her generational presence in the group is built into how the lineup reads visually and dynamically.
