Launched in 2019, KKV is a subsidiary of KK Group, which also owns X11 (toys and collectible store chain) and The Colorist (beauty store chain). As of October 2023, KKV already opened 421 stores.


KKV began its overseas expansion in 2020 at Central Park Mall, Indonesia. In just 4 years, the number of stores reached 60. Due to some circumstances, KKV sold its stake in PT KKV International Indonesia, resulting in the rebranding of all its stores to OH!SOME. Currently, OH!SOME Indonesia is managed by Blue Origin.

After closing its chapter in Indonesia, KKV started its journey in Malaysia with first outlet in Bukit Bintang Street, Kuala Lumpur.
