Thai K-pop idol Natty opens up on identity and ambition as Kiss of Life returns with ‘224'
Girl group to thank fans with special encore gigs in Seoul next month Natty of Kiss of Life, one of the most prominent Thai idols in the K-pop scene today, said she hopes to be a source of inspiration for aspiring artists in her home country and beyond. 'As a Thai artist in Korea, this means a lot to me,' said Natty during a media showcase for her group's new EP '224' held in Seoul on Monday. 'Just like the Thai artists who came before me, I want to become a positive influence on people in Thailand and international trainees who dream of becoming K-pop idols. That's why I'm working hard to grow as an artist.' Thailand has long served as a key gateway for Southeast Asian talent entering K-pop, dating back to Nichkhun of 2PM, who debuted in 2008. Since then, artists like BamBam of GOT7, Ten of NCT and Minnie of I-dle have followed suit — though none have reached the global popularity of Blackpink's Lisa. K-pop is also massively popular in Thailand, where it has become one of the mainstream cultural genres. T-pop, or Thai pop, has also drawn significantly from K-pop in its visuals, choreography and production style. Natty pointed out that the two genres, nevertheless, have differences, especially in their sound. 'What makes T-pop unique, I think, is the use of traditional Thai instruments. That's the charm that really sets T-pop apart,' she said. A different kind of summer: Kiss of Life drops '224' Kiss of Life's fourth EP '224' marks a shift from the group's previous hit 'Sticky,' presenting a completely different flavor of summer music. The new title track 'Lips Hips Kiss' captures the intense and sensual emotions of a magnetic attraction, wrapped in early 2000s R&B and hip-hop vibes. Its sleek melody and bold lyrics highlight the group's energy. 'Compared to the refreshing vibe of 'Sticky,' this song brings out a stickier, hotter feeling,' Natty said. 'I hope people enjoy this different side of us.' Belle said the group faced a pleasant dilemma in choosing the lead single. 'All our members are capable of handling a wide range of genres, so we had so many good options,' she said. 'It was a happy kind of struggle deciding which one to go with.' 'We wanted to surprise people with a summer song that no one expected,' added Julie. 'It's a new challenge, but we chose this track because we're confident in our skills and in the genre.' Following the release of '224,' Kiss of Life is gearing up for an encore concert to wrap up their first world tour. The group began their tour in October in Seoul and traveled through North America, Europe and Asia, finishing in Osaka in May. Now, they are set to take the stage again at Seoul's Jangchung Arena on July 19 and 20. 'Our first world tour was a huge milestone, especially just one year into our debut,' Belle said. 'It was a precious and meaningful experience, and we knew we had to prepare an encore performance to return the love we received from our fans, the Kissys," Belle continued, referring to Kiss of Life's fandom.

But not this one. The song was alleged to be a diss track and fans were infuriated with the timing of the release as it came amid the group's cultural appropriation scandal. However, a lot of her fans rallied to defend the artist, claiming the accusations to be baseless. Julie 's recently released preview of KISS OF LIFE 's new song got viral on X (formerly Twitter), but not for the reasons they might have hoped. The group faced backlash for allegedly releasing a diss track. The timing of the release only added to the hate train, as they were already under scrutiny for a previous controversy of black culture appropriation. The song featured the following lines– You don't like me, that's fine You don't like me, k bye You don't like me, then why Check out fan reactions to KISS OF LIFE's new track The lyrics of the song led many to believe that KISS OF LIFE was assertively stating they're unbothered by the public's criticism surrounding cultural appropriation. Following their removal from the KCON LA 2025 lineup, some saw this song as a direct response to the backlash they've faced. Concerned fans argued that, "the worst possible thing kiof could do after their controversy is release a hater diss track." They felt that it would only add fuel to the fire. Is KISS OF LIFE's new song actually a diss track As the quintet received hate for allegedly dropping a diss track, KISS OF LIFE fans defended them by shedding light on the next line of the song. According to them and also as per Julie's past statement, the song was 'dedicated to all the exes that broke our hearts.' The line that confirmed the same was– "Do you wish we then why do you wish we were making love in your mind all the time?" Fans accused haters of wanting to "cancel them (the girl group) over anything atp (at this point)." This instance showed that even after the group members' multiple apologies, people are still not ready to forgive and forget their alleged mocking of black culture.
