KISS OF LIFE, 224


'Lips Hips Kiss' is now available on various streaming platforms.

Rising K-pop girl group KISS OF LIFE is back and stronger than ever with their latest single “Lips Hips Kiss.”

Released on Monday, June 9, “Lips Hips Kiss” is a strong R&B-pop track that matches the girl group's sexy and sultry personalities.

“Lips Hips Kiss” is the title track for KISS OF LIFE's fourth mini-album, 224.

Aside from “Lips Hips Kiss,” 224 is home to the group's diverse tracks, including “Tell Me,” “k bye,” “Painting,” “Slide,” “Heart of Gold,” and “Think Twice.”

The 224 and “Lips Hips Kiss” mark KISS OF LIFE's comeback after the members, Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul, faced a major backlash for their cultural appropriation of hip-hop and Black culture in a livestream in April.

After netizens and fans alike called out the group, KISS OF LIFE and its music label, S2 Entertainment, have released apology letters and statements that addressed the situation.

“Our intention was to show how much we loved the category of old school hip hop because it greatly influences our music. While shooting the content, we ended up taking the concept too far. We realize now that our content was culturally insensitive and take full responsibility for our actions and can only promise to do better,” KISS OF LIFE's message read.

They added, “We know that there is nothing we can say or do that will magically fix the mistake we made. The only thing that we can promise is that we'll continue to educate ourselves and show our sincerity through our actions rather than words.”

Julie, the group's leader, also addressed the situation for the third time in one of her live broadcasts. "I want to take the time to use this opportunity to apologize to the Black and Latino communities. We do understand that we've hurt and disappointed a lot of the fans... We promise that we're working hard to be better."

Meanwhile, KISS OF LIFE's fourth mini-album is now available on various streaming platforms.
