Starship Entertainment’s rookie group KiiiKiii has taken their first NBA stage since debut, performing across the NBA China Games 2026 in Macau from October 9 to 11.
According to Sports Seoul, the group appeared at the halftime shows of both preseason games between the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets at The Venetian Arena on October 9 and 11. They performed “Pop Off Pop Off” and an EDM version of “404 (New Era),” heating up the arena between quarters.
On stage, KiiiKiii joined forces with backup dancers for a dance break, using large-scale choreography that stretched across the full court and drew loud responses from the crowd.
The group also headlined a roughly 30-minute set at the NBA House Macao 2026 fan festival at the Cotai Expo Hall on October 10. The setlist covered “Delulu,” “Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone,” “UNDERDOGS,” and “DANCING ALONE,” plus their debut song “I DO ME.” Most notably, they unveiled the first-ever live performance of “Ever2Late!,” a track from their upcoming mini 3rd album.
Through Starship Entertainment, the members said it “truly felt like a dream” to perform on an NBA stage for the first time since their debut, adding that they had prepared new performances just for the occasion and hoped the shows would become good memories for the fans in attendance.
KiiiKiii continue to connect with fans through their weekly self-produced content “KiiiKiiiPangPang,” released every Friday at 7 p.m. on their official channel.
