Starship‘s 21 candidates for ’Male Idols‘ reveal their faces → Pre-release of their personally directed ’Balla‘ performance video

Starship Entertainment has finally revealed the faces of the 21 members of its new boy group, New Kids, which will be launching this year.

Starship previously announced the launch of a new boy group in about 5 years, following MONSTA X, which debuted in May 2015, and CRAVITY, which debuted in April 2020, and announced the start of a large-scale global project, the ’Debut‘s Plan.

This time, the profile photos containing the faces of the 21 members of New Kids were revealed through their official channels. The 21 members wearing school uniforms showed off their fresh and cool charm as well as their warm visuals.

The pre-released content of Plan 5, the ‘Balla‘ performance video, which was revealed along with the profile photos, garnered attention as a unique content that allowed one to gauge the skills and charm of the new kids. The 21 New Kids overwhelmed the audience with their intense atmosphere as they freely performed various group dances and dazzling solo dances to the hip-hop style song ‘Balla‘, which stands against the prejudices of the world. The ‘Balla‘ performance video was filmed in November of last year, and it stands out in that it was directly directed by the 21 New Kids who grew through the ‘Debut Plan’ project.

‘Debut Plan’ is a large-scale global project created by K-pop fans and core members with the production know-how that Starship formed just for New Kids. The process of New Kids’ performance according to a total of five plans will be observed and the members who will advance to the final debut evaluation will be selected through voting. The first round of voting will be held on the official website from 10 PM on March 14 to 10 AM on April 3, and voting is possible once a day.

Starship‘s large-scale global project, ‘Debut Plan’, will be revealed on March 14.
