U-KISS

U-KISS is formed from the initials of "Ubiquitous Korean International idol Super Star," and the name is explained as expressing the goal of becoming an international idol group loved everywhere. In Korean it is pronounced "Yu-ki-seu." The name is usually written with a hyphen as U-KISS.

U-KISS debuted on August 28, 2008, with the song "Not Young" (Korean title "Eoriji Ana"). After debut, the group worked as a dance group, promoting both in Korea and abroad. The track list of the debut release can be found on official music streaming services for anyone who wants to start from the beginning.

As of November 2026, U-KISS has effectively ended its group activities after its group contract with Tango Music ended in January 2025. However, it has not been confirmed whether an official disbandment announcement was made. For the members' activities, the most accurate source is each member's own official channel.

The members in U-KISS's most recent group activities were Soohyun, Hoon, Kiseop, Alexander and Eli. The group currently has no agency, as its group contract with Tango Music ended in 2025. For news about each member, please check their individual official channels rather than unofficial sources.

Songs often associated with U-KISS include "Man Man Ha Ni," "0330," "Bingeul Bingeul" and "Neverland." Their catalog includes both upbeat dance tracks and emotional songs, so it is enjoyable to compare the mood of different eras. Watching the music videos is an easy way to start.
