KiiiKiii - DANCING ALONE

The music video for KiiiKiii’s “Dancing Alone,” released on August 6, 2025, embraces a nostalgic, lo-fi aesthetic that captures the essence of carefree summer days and authentic friendship. Departing from traditional K-pop choreography, the video focuses on unscripted, joyful moments featuring the five members—Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya. Shot with a retro, Y2K-inspired lens, it showcases the group engaging in everyday activities: biking through a vibrant town, laughing in school uniforms, running through riverside fields, and flipping through DVDs labeled “Dancing Alone.” These scenes evoke a sense of anemoia—a longing for a past not personally experienced—reminiscent of early 2000s slumber parties or pre-social media simplicity. The video’s candid, unpolished visuals emphasize emotional honesty, with moments of the members supporting each other through tough times, like sharing an umbrella on a rainy day or hugging Kya, reinforcing the song’s theme of redefining “alone” as a space for self-reflection and connection. The colorful, laid-back settings—riversides, sports fields, and backyards—complement the track’s upbeat city pop and retro synth-pop vibes, creating a cohesive narrative of youth, freedom, and shared experiences.
