[Edaily Starin KIM HYUNSIK Reporter] “We didn’t want to miss out on this summer season, so we’ve been working hard to prepare for our comeback. Please look forward to the activities of the ‘hot girls’ KISS OF LIFE as they return.”

Girl group KISS OF LIFE (Julie, Natti, Bell, Hanul) shared these thoughts during a roundtable interview held on the 29th of last month at a café in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, as they prepare to make their comeback with their new song “SWEAT.”
“SWEAT” is an Afro-house-based summer song created with the summer season in mind. KISS OF LIFE, who promoted with “Who Is She” last April, is making a quick comeback with this track to join the “summer battle.”
Bell explained, “‘SWEAT’ is a passionate track that fits our group’s image well,” adding, “The lyrics convey a message of self-belief and the confidence that naturally radiates from within.” She further elaborated, “The lyrics also reflect our group’s story of working hard and sweating it out to present our best selves, even in imperfect situations.”
Regarding their performance, Natti said, “We believe one of the reasons fans love us is because we dance while enjoying the music, so we put a lot of effort into preparing our performance.”
Bell laughed and said, “The choreography in the chorus, where it looks like we’re wiping sweat off and spraying it back, is the most catchy part. I’d love to film a dance challenge with EXO’s Kai—who’s been a fan of ours since I was little—and the SISTAR members.”

Previously, Kiss of Life released “Sticky,” their first summer song since their July 2024 debut, and achieved impressive results by topping music show charts.
Bell said, “‘Sticky’ was a refreshing summer song that evoked images of a blue sky and clear, cloudless skies. In contrast, ‘Sweat’ is a song that brings to mind scenes of dancing barefoot on the sand at sunset,” adding, “Please look forward to seeing a more mature side of Kiss of Life.”
Julie remarked, “While I do feel some pressure given how much love ‘Sticky’ received, I believe that if we enjoy the stage as much as we did back then, good results will follow.”
◇“We’ll continue to take on new challenges in our own unique direction”
Kiss of Life is a group launched in November 2023 by S2 Entertainment, a mid-sized agency. Early in their career, they quickly made a name for themselves on domestic and international charts with songs like “Shhh,” “Bad News,” “Nobody Knows,” and “Midas Touch,” earning the title “the miracle of a small-to-medium-sized agency group.” Recognized for their solid vocal and performance skills, they went on to win the New Artist of the Year award at the Korean Music Awards the following year.
The members said in unison, “We’ve spent the past three years since our debut very meaningfully and have grown a great deal. We’re most grateful for and proud of being called ‘the miracle of a small-to-medium-sized agency group,’” adding, “We’ll strive to continue creating new miracles and become a group that people look forward to seeing more of in the future.”

Kiss of Life also garnered attention at the time of their debut as a group produced with the participation of Lee Hae-in, a former contestant on Mnet’s “Produce 101,” who served as creative director. However, Lee Hae-in left the group after participating in their mini-album “Lose Yourself,” released in October 2024. Since then, the members have expanded their involvement by actively contributing their opinions throughout the entire album production process, further enhancing their individual capabilities in the process.
Juli said, “With Hae-in unnie’s departure, there were many more details we had to carefully attend to,” adding, “We’ve definitely grown a lot by expanding our involvement to even the smallest details, and as a result, we’ve gained the confidence to show you a wider variety of sides of ourselves in the future.”
The single of the same name, featuring “Sweat” as the title track, will be released at 6 p.m. on the 4th via various online music platforms. This single also includes the house-genre track “WHAT!”, which captures Kiss of Life’s unique, confident charm—one that remains unshaken by critical glances and questions.
Julie emphasized, “We want to be a group that’s always taking on new challenges,” adding, “While trying something new might divide opinions, if it’s a direction we’re confident in, we’ll keep pushing forward.”
Natti set topping the music charts as the goal for their comeback activities, stating, “Through this comeback, we’ll make sure that when people think of Kiss of Life, the title ‘Summer Queen’ naturally comes to mind.”
