JYP Entertainment‘s new group Kickflip shared some advice from their agency’s seniors.

Kickflip will make their official debut on the 20th with the release of their first mini-album, ‘Flip It, Kick It!’ and the title song, ‘Mama Sed (What Are You Trying to Be?)’. They held a debut commemorative media showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul that afternoon and boldly declared their entry into the music industry.

The members of Kickflip mentioned JYP‘s head and singer Park Jin-young and said, “While we were preparing for our debut, producer Park Jin-young spared no praise. He told us, ’You have a song that will lead the K-pop trend.‘ We want to show you a good side of ourselves.”

About his label senior band DAY6’s Young K, who also supported him by writing the lyrics for the track “Warriors,” he said, “It‘s an honor to work with us,” and explained, “Senior Young K said that a team with a free youngest member lasts a long time, and we already take good care of our youngest and have created a fun atmosphere, so we’ll maintain that.”

The members of global group Stray Kids, who are his direct seniors, also did not spare advice for their juniors. Kickflip said, “Stray Kids seniors like Changbin told us, ‘You need to have good teamwork to last a long time,’ and advised us, ‘If you fight, you need to fight with the mindset of making up in order to last a long time,’” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Kickflip is a seven-member group consisting of leader Gye Hoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Joo Wang, Minje, K-Ju, and Donghyun. The first mini album heralded the birth of a super rookie, expressing their determination and passion, saying, ‘I‘ll turn the world upside down and throw away trials!’.
