‘JYP‘s new group’ KickFlip’s debut thoughts “I can‘t believe it, I’m so excited”

The group KickFlip revealed their thoughts on their debut.

On the 20th at 2PM, KickFlip held a press showcase to commemorate the release of their debut album ‘Flip it, Kick it!’ (Flip it, Kick it!) and met with reporters.

On that day, Gye Hoon said, “I‘m so excited to have debuted”, and “I’m so, so excited. I‘ve been waiting for this moment and running forward. We’ll show you a good side of ourselves as the seven of us are united.” K-Ju said, “I‘m happy that we can all sing together. I’m so excited and I can‘t believe it. As a team called Kickflip, we are grateful that we can perform on stage with our song,” they said.

Minje said, “We tried to express our passion through music. We want to convey Kickflip’s positive energy through six songs.”

JYP’s new boy group Kickflip is comprised of seven members: leader Kye Hoon, who has nearly 10 years of experience as a trainee, as well as Amaru, Donghwa, Joo Wang, Minje, Kei Ju, and Donghyun. The group name is borrowed from a term for the difficult skateboarding technique of spinning the board 360 degrees with the tip of the foot, and contains a bold ambition to be unconstrained by convention and to create something new.

Kickflip’s first mini-album, ‘Flip it, Kick it!’, contains a total of six tracks, including the title track ‘Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)’ (마마 세드), ‘Yeah Yeah’, ‘WARRIORS’ (워리어스), ‘Knock Knock’ (낙 낙), ‘Like A Monster’ (라익 아먼), and ‘See You Tomorrow’ (내일에서 나일에서 나미서). The album, with over 300,000 pre-orders, will be available on various music sites on Monday the 20th at 6 p.m.
