Kickflip Donghwa, professional spirit despite dislocation injury… Fighting spirit of rookie idol in their fourth day since debut [Comprehensive]

It was hard to believe that he was a rookie idol in his fourth day since debut. Donghwa of the group Kickflip showed his professional spirit by showing his fighting spirit despite a dislocation injury.

Kickflip made a powerful debut by releasing their first mini-album, ‘Flip it, Kick it!’ on the 20th. They appeared on Mnet‘s ‘M Countdown’ that aired on the 23rd and performed the title song ‘Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)’ and the b-side and pre-released song ‘Yeah, That’s Right’.

On that day, Kickflip showed off their powerful and energetic charms while performing ‘Yeah, That‘s Right’. In the middle of this, Donghwa continued the performance without being able to use her left arm at all. It was a point that could only be noticed if you looked closely. Donghwa, who finished the stage with a bright expression as if nothing had happened, showed her professionalism by smiling brightly even in her ending pose. In the following broadcast of ‘Mama Said’, she appeared to have no arm injury. It is presumed that it was recorded before ‘Yeah, That’s Right’.

Donghwa confessed to her dislocated arm injury through the fan community Fanz that day. He said, “I think I was so nervous today that I dislocated my arm while performing on stage. I‘m so sorry to those who are watching. I’m okay now, so I‘ll see you tomorrow in a better state. Thank you so much for coming today.” As the fans’ support and encouragement continued, he said, “Thank you so much for all the kind words. He said, ”I will take good care of my health from now on.“

Meanwhile, 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 be?)’(마마 세드), ‘Yeah Yeah’(응 그려)’(어디서)’(마마 세드), ‘WARRIORS’(워리어스), ‘Knock Knock’(낙 낙), ‘Like A Monster’(러크 아먼제), ‘See You Tomorrow’(내일에서 나미서)’(먹는 듯). The title track was written by Amaru, the track ‘Yeah Yeah’ was written by Amaru and Donghwa, and ‘Like A Monster’ was written by Gye-hoon, Amaru, and Min-je. Here, JYP’s senior artist DAY6‘s Young K took charge of writing the lyrics for the third track, ‘WARRIORS’, and other top writers including Jo Yoon-kyung, danke, and Lee Hae-sol participated.
