KK Group also owns The Colorist (beauty product concept store) and X11 (trendy toy concept store). Its vision 'Live without Boundaries' drives a global presence spanning 1,000+ stores in six countries. As the core brand, KKV adopts the philosophy of 'exploring 100 lifestyles,' and offers over 20,000 SKUs across eight categories, including trendy toys, home goods, daily essentials, cosmetics, and more, while actively exploring additional product possibilities.
Focusing on Gen Z: The Debut of KKV in Singapore Ignites a Consumption Frenzy
The color-coded shelving for different product categories and the bright yellow container-style exterior are visually striking, which triggered a surge of KKV related UGC (user-generated content) and quickly made it a local hot topic on social media.
KKV's diverse product portfolio perfectly meet the needs of Singaporean Gen Z. 'I was just here to take pics with my friend, but I ended up grabbing a bunch of stuff,' said Lim Jia Yi, pointing to her basket while in line at the checkout. 'There's always something new and fun here, you know? Young folks would definitely love it.' Sales data from the opening period showed that trendy toys, snacks, and household essentials were particularly popular among young Singaporean consumers.
Continuing to deeply engage and lead the development of Singapore's trendy retail market
KKV has full confidence in the Singapore market, which stems from the city-state's unique consumption potential and demographic advantages. Gen Z accounts for nearly 30% of the population in Singapore, with an annual per capita consumption expenditure exceeding SGD 30,000. This young demographic continues to drive rising demand for trendy products and experiential consumption, which aligns perfectly with KKV's brand positioning. As stated by Rojen Wu, Chief Operating Officer of KK Group international project, 'As a globally leading trend retail brand, KKV respects every individual. We hope that in KKV, everyone can find products they love and express their lifestyle attitude.'
Based on this, KKV will continue to deepen its partnerships with local commercial giants like CapitaLand and Frasers Property, leveraging their customer traffic advantages to rapidly penetrate the Singapore market. KKV plans to open 10 stores in Singapore by 2025 to cover more core commercial districts and further strengthen its brand influence.
Meanwhile, KKV will keep bringing in top-quality global products, refine its product assortment, and offer an upgraded shopping experience for Singaporean consumers — aiming to maintain its leadership in the trendy retail sector.

Nightlife-hating Gen Z now planning morning raves with espresso shots — and no tequila

From the moment you turn 18, your one desire is supposed to be going out and partying. Getting ready to go out with your friends, spending a day's wages on vodka, lemon, lime and bitters, and dancing to your heart's content until it's time to get the last train home is a fond – if distorted – memory for those who've left that phase of their lives in the past. But, it seems Gen Z-ers have entered their 'grandma' phase a little early, swapping late nights for early mornings and alcohol for coffee in a shocking twist that's left millennials calling them (i.e. us) boring. Morning raves, it's a thing! If you haven't seen the reports of a decline in alcohol consumption among Gen Z-ers, you may have noticed an increase in non-alcoholic drinks at your local bottlo or pub. Gen Z is now hosting raves in the early hours of the morning. TikTok/@nikitadunne6 There's also been a steady decrease in the number of music festivals happening, with some of the most iconic events, like Splendour in the Grass, Groovin the Moo and Spilt Milk cancelling in recent years due to low ticket sales, or an inability to score those big acts on an already stretched budget. Blame it on the pandemic or the cost of living crisis. Regardless, it's become very clear – Gen Z just doesn't want to party. Well, unless it's in the morning, apparently. The popularity of morning raves is officially on the rise – fueled by coffee and matcha instead of Cruisers and tequila shots. Morning raves are pretty much exactly what you're probably picturing them to be. You can go and get your morning coffee, except there will also be a DJ. Think, a louder and, in my opinion, way more fun, version of the morning run club or swim at the beach that every Sydneysider seems to be into these days. These morning raves are being held all over the world, and are now taking Australia by storm. Caffeine Club is one company running morning raves across Queensland, with events starting from 7am. Mix and Matcha is another group holding events out of cafes in Melbourne. Is it cool, or a total snoozefest? All the fun without the hangover sounds like a solid day out to me. And, it seems young people agree, with events selling out and garnering rave reviews. 'Hahah this is iconicccc!!' said one commenter on TikTok. 'Like having your morning dance party with a bunch of other crazy humans. Keep it uppp guys!' 'Hahah this is iconicccc!!' said one commenter on TikTok. TikTok/@nikitadunne6 'This is sick!!!!' said another. 'This is my kind of club!' a third agreed. But, it's clear not everyone agrees. One Caffeine Club video went viral earlier this year, and garnered a few millennial hate comments. 'And the crowd goes mild,' one person said. 'Nice, but this is not a rave,' said another.
