Leesol

Leesol (이솔), born Lee Su-min (이수민), is the main rapper and oldest member of KiiiKiii, the five-member group Starship Entertainment launched in 2025. She gives the team one of its clearest points of contrast. When KiiiKiii leans playful, noisy, or left-of-center, Leesol is often the member bringing the lower register and steadier rhythmic center that keeps the song from floating away.

That role became visible quickly during the Uncut Gem era. The pre-release single I Do Me introduced the group's tone, and the full debut put more attention on how each member filled the concept. Leesol did not need the loudest part to register. Her value came from control, pacing, and a rap texture that gave the lineup a sharper edge than many new-generation girl groups try to claim at debut.

KiiiKiii is still in its opening chapter, but Starship has already framed the group as a meaningful next-generation play inside the same broader ecosystem that also includes IVE. That makes Leesol more than a supporting name on a debut page. She is one of the members helping define why KiiiKiii feels distinct instead of interchangeable.
