The primary objective of this study is to investigate hadronic molecules of KK¯1(1270) using a one-boson-exchange model, which incorporates exchanges of vector and pseudoscalar mesons in the t-channel, as well as the pion exchange in the u-channel. Additionally, careful consideration is given to the three-body effects resulting from the on-shell pion originating from K1(1270)Kπ. Then the BESIII data of the J/ψϕηη process is fitted using the KK¯1(1270) scattering amplitude with JPC=0 or 1. The analysis reveals that both the JPC=0 and 1 assumptions for KK¯1(1270) scattering provide good descriptions of the data, with similar fit qualities. Notably, the parameters obtained from the best fits indicate the existence of KK¯1(1270) bound states, denoted by ϕ(2100) and ϕ0(2100) for the 1 and 0 states, respectively. The current experimental data, including the η polar angular distribution, cannot distinguish which KK¯1(1270) bound state contributes to the J/ψϕηη process, or if both are involved. Therefore, we propose further explorations of this process, as well as other processes, in upcoming experiments with many more J/ψ events to disentangle the different possibilities.
