Korean band teams up with Will Hyde for new digital single Road
Korean band KIK has released its collaborative digital single Road with Australian artiste Will Hyde, with the track featuring a refreshing sound that captures the theme of reconnecting across physical distances and the passage of time.
Road combines KIK’s signature dynamic instrumentation with Hyde’s vocals and it highlights a distinctive synergy between both.
Celebrating its first anniversary this year, KIK debuted the live performance of Road for the first time at the 2026 Music Flow Festival.
Demonstrating musical growth beyond their rookie status, the band commanded the stage with robust soundscapes and confident stage presence, generating strong anticipation ahead of the official release.
Global collaboration and growth
Following its previous international collaboration on Piece of Peace with Thai band Dept, KIK continues to broaden its musical spectrum, such as the inclusion of Hyde, an Australian singer-songwriter with roughly 400,000 monthly Spotify listeners and over 100 million cumulative global streams.
Hyde’s previously built recognition in South Korea came through collaborations with MRCH and Imzoo, as well as a shout-out from Stray Kids’s Bang Chan.
Eurovision Asia and future plans
Recently, KIK was named to the Korean lineup for Eurovision Song Contest Asia, which is the first Asian edition of Europe’s iconic music competition.
With a legacy dating back to 1956 that launched legendary acts such as Abba, the contest serves as a major platform for KIK, who raised excitement ahead of the finals by premiering an unreleased track titled F1.
Meanwhile, member Wooseok is set to balance band and idol activities alongside Pentagon’s 10th-anniversary full-group promotions.
