From debut to now
- 2023The first mini album KISS OF LIFE and Shhh brought the debut, and with a solo song for each member the outline of a genuinely skilled rookie act took shape.
- 2024Midas Touch expanded their retro pop sound, and Sticky increased their recognition with a summer song. The year also saw them make their presence felt at awards ceremonies.
- 2025KISS ROAD, 224 and TOKYO MISSION START followed, adding Japanese releases and a world tour to their activities. Performance footage as well as music videos conveys the intensity of their stage performances.
- 2026Who is she opened a new single, and the strongly solo-flavoured vocals running from Shhh now sit alongside the sense of a team.

KPOP DISCOVER's KISS OF LIFE note
What anchors KISS OF LIFE is skilled singing, rap and dance together with vocals that carry a strong solo flavour. S2 Entertainment debuted the four-piece girl group on July 5, 2023, gave each member a solo song on the debut release to show her own colour, and pushed the visual direction hard from the start.
The hard attitude and R&B colour of Shhh, Bad News and Nobody Knows sit beside Midas Touch and Sticky, the signature songs that make the easiest way in, so skill and approachability hold together. Sticky in particular raised their profile as a summer song.
From 2024 the work widened through Lose Yourself and KISS ROAD, the first Japanese mini album TOKYO MISSION START and on to Who is she in 2026. A Japanese official site and a Japanese fan club are running as well, which keeps things easy for newcomers in Japan. Shhh, then Midas Touch, then Sticky is the way in.
Editors' take Shhh / Midas Touch / Sticky — an S2 four-piece covering skilled singing, rap and dance and strongly solo-flavoured vocals in three songs.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
The name comes from a term for rescue breathing, which reads as a promise to breathe new life into the music scene.
Composition
Julie, Natty, Belle and Haneul each have a solo track to enter through, so the four can be followed one at a time.
Starter song
Shhh works as the debut calling card, Midas Touch as retro pop and Sticky as the summer single, so each starter has a clear job.
Japan route
From TOKYO MISSION START onwards the Japanese albums carry their own track lists, so that line runs beside the Korean one.
Videos
Performance videos and dance practice sit alongside the music videos and show the vocal strength and the staging at once.
Where they stand now
Who is she reads naturally as the step from a forceful early introduction towards more dramatic recent work.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 55/ 241 groups
No. 55 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 23%)
- 4Japanese releases
- 14Japan-related tracks
- 0Members from Japan
- 4Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
