'Happy Summer Queen' Keith O'Brien: "Even a hot girl can be cool"
The new song "Sticky" is a song that captures the excitement of being with someone you love. "It's a refreshing summer song," said Julie, "and it's the perfect interpretation of summer for KISSO Life. "It's the perfect summer song for KissOff," Julie explains, "and we wanted to express something bright and refreshing."
"When you think of refreshing, it's usually a pure feeling, but our interpretation of refreshing was, 'Hot girls can be refreshing too. We're so happy and fun. We're so confident." (Julie)
"I think many people will find it refreshing. The reverse charm of being hot but showing bright and happy cuteness is the kind of refreshing we're looking for." (Julie)
KISSO Life said, "We were happy throughout the preparation. They said it was the most relaxing comeback they've ever had. Sky said, "I couldn't wait to get on stage. I thought the song itself was so cool, refreshing, and made me laugh," while Natty emphasized, "This is the first time we've been able to laugh on stage after feeling so strong before, so it's a meaningful song for the members."
"We've made four comebacks in one year. It may feel fast, but we were worried about how we would be perceived by the public, but this time we were so confident that we didn't have to think about it. We just had to be ourselves and have fun, and we were happy."
Bell recalled that she was so happy that she was moved to tears while filming the music video and eating with the members. "I have nothing but nostalgic and happy feelings. We shot the music video in Poland. We shot it in one take, which was a pain, but we had so much fun and were so happy. Just dancing in the sunshine was such a happy memory. The naturalness of the dancers was so beautiful, and it made me feel happy."

"Sticky" is characterized by its healthy choreography. "I want to be as free as possible on stage," she said.
Bell said, "The twirling choreography is very exotic. I think everyone did a great job with it. I think you'll find it fresh," and Natty said, "I thought it was a very new performance. There are various pictorial parts. There are solo parts, pair choreography, and choreography with clothes. I think foreigners will like it. We are also looking forward to the short form and challenges."
"You can feel that the performance is unconventional. The choreography is so hot, so we thought it was our own challenge. We thought it was a color that only Kiss of Life can do, so we worked hard with a challenging mindset."(Bell)
KISS O Life, whose previous release "Midas Touch" was successful in entering the Billboard Global 200 chart, expressed their ambition to reach higher with this activity.
Nati said, "This time, I want to set my goal a little higher and enter the TOP 100," adding, "I want to be called 'Summer Queen KISS O Life' because I'm active in the summer. I'm really looking forward to this year's show. I don't know where we can go yet, but I heard that a lot of people liked our performance last year, so I'm getting a lot of calls from award shows. We're going to prepare with ambition, and if we go again, we want to do it on a big scale."
Julie added, "We always aim high. Last time, we said, 'We want to be No. 1 on music broadcasts unconditionally and show a live encore stage,' and this time, we know it's not easy because we're with so many amazing seniors, but we want to work hard while making happy music and become No. 1 on Mnet. Not only that, but we want to show how KISS O Life is climbing higher and higher on Korean charts."
"We're also greedy and even more passionate, so we're going to work hard to achieve one thing after another while being happy. We really want 'Sticky' to be our hit song, because we love it so much and think it perfectly captures the colors of KISSOBLIFE, so we feel like, 'This song should be KISSOBLIFE's hit song.' We'll do our best to make it number one."(Julie)
