Kiss (an acronym for Korea International Super Star, presented as KISS) was a female pop trio originating from South Korea. Their debut track, "Because I'm a Girl" (), became a major hit in 2001. The accompanying music video starred actress Goo Hye-Jin alongside actor Shin Hyun-joon, which significantly contributed to the song's initial popularity. Over time, it established itself as a long-lasting favorite in Korean karaoke venues.
Following this achievement, the group released an album; however, they soon parted ways due to unresolved disagreements within the team.
After the disbandment, Umji transitioned into acting and later married, while Jini relocated back to the United States to further her singing career.
The track "Because I'm a Girl" has been reinterpreted by several artists, including the South Korean duo 2NB and solo vocalist Ben.
On June 21, 2016, the group reunited to perform their signature song on the variety program Two Yoo Project Sugar Man (Episode 36). During this appearance, they disclosed that their split was influenced by the revelation of a member’s romantic involvement, a situation strictly managed by Korean entertainment agencies.
