Rising K-pop girl group KISS OF LIFE is officially gearing up to claim the title of “Summer Queens” once again.
On July 20, 2026, at midnight KST, the group’s agency, S2 Entertainment, formally announced that the four-member act will make their highly anticipated return on August 4, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. KST with their third single album, titled “SWEAT.”
Alongside the official date confirmation, the agency launched a teaser video titled “SWEAT EQUITY” across their official social media channels, giving fans an inside look at the intense preparation and raw dedication fueling their upcoming release.
Previewing “SWEAT EQUITY” and Practice Room Dedication
The newly released preview video, titled “SWEAT EQUITY,” takes a behind-the-scenes approach to introduce the comeback’s central theme.
Moving away from polished concept stills, the footage highlights the four members- Julie, Natty, Belle, and Haneul- working tirelessly in the dance studio from early morning until late into the night.
By capturing their intense choreography rehearsals, persistent sweat, and candid daily moments in the practice room, the video offers a authentic glimpse into the hard work driving their stage performances.
The teaser sets an energetic and passionate tone, emphasizing that the intense effort behind the scenes is what defines their identity as performers.
Speaking on the group’s upcoming musical direction and the significance of the new release, S2 Entertainment shared an official statement, requesting fans’ anticipation:
“KISS OF LIFE will release its new single album, ‘SWEAT,’ at 6 p.m. on Aug. 4.
We ask for your anticipation as these members, who have drawn public resonance with diverse keywords in each of their albums, present a new story and charm.”
Solidifying Their Position as Next-Generation “Summer Queens”
Since their debut in 2023, KISS OF LIFE has rapidly built a reputation for high-energy performances, strong live vocals, and distinct seasonal releases.
The group previously achieved major commercial and critical success with their hit summer track “Sticky,” which established them as a prominent fixture during the warm-weather promotional season.
With “SWEAT,” the group aims to build directly upon that momentum by showcasing a bolder, more intense side of summer energy.
Coming roughly four months after their previous single “Who is She” in April 2026- which earned top trophies on broadcast music shows and charted on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales- anticipation is high for how KISS OF LIFE will translate their signature confidence into this new era.
S2 Entertainment confirmed that a sequential rollout of promotional teasers, concept photos, and track previews will follow leading up to the official release on August 4.
