JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP)‘s next-generation boy group KickFlip revealed themselves receiving a ‘Debut Special Lecture’ from JYP’s senior artists.

KickFlip, who officially debuted on January 20, sequentially released a total of six videos of their own content, ‘JYP Debut Special Lecture’, on their official SNS channels for six days from January 27 to February 1.

This series features a special debut lecture by JYP‘s senior artists, including JYP’s representative producer Park Jin-young, DAY6‘s Young K, TWICE’s Nayeon and Momo, Stray Kids‘ Changbin and I.N, ITZY’s Yezi and Lia, and NMIXX‘s Haewon and BAE, for the upcoming kickflip, complete with a surprise camera.

The seven members, Gye Hoon, Amaru, Dong Hwa, Joo Wang, Min Je, K Joo, and Dong Hyun, did their best, showing explosive reactions to the unexpected and playful ideas of their JYP seniors. Young K, who was in charge of writing the lyrics for ‘WARRIORS’ on Kickflip’s debut album ‘Flip it, Kick it!’, asked if it would be a good idea to add a whisper rapping reciting the address of the JYP building, and showed off his fresh charm by agreeing with TWICE‘s Nayeon and Momo’s opinion that “Spin Kick!” is more catchy than “Flip it, Kick it!” as a group greeting.

Also, when Stray Kids‘ Changbin and I.N suggested a groundbreaking performance using their whole bodies rather than hand gestures for the choreography for the pre-released song ‘Yeah Yeah’, the boys successfully performed it, and when ITZY’s Yezi and Lia gave high-angle, close-up shots as selfie tips, the boys actively participated while sweating profusely. NMIXX Haewon and Bey‘s live broadcast accident surprised the camera and showed their rookie-like appearance.

Park Jin-young, who appeared in the long-awaited last episode, added a video with congratulatory comments from JYP senior artists and explained that their mischievous pranks actually contained a mission to celebrate the debut of Kickflip. He also gave warm advice to Kickflip, following Young K, Nayeon, Momo, Changbin, I.N, Yezi, Lia, Haewon, and Bey, so that they can continue their promotions.

The seniors said, “We gathered together to discuss Kickflip’s music and choreography, and all of us agreed right away that there was nothing more to touch. This is the first time Kickflip has done something like that,” and encouraged them. “Now that you‘ve debuted, I hope you have an exciting spirit and enjoy yourself, and I hope you don’t get tired and do well, because the road ahead is long. Congratulations on your debut.”

Lastly, the Kickflip members said, “We are so grateful to our seniors for giving us their precious time. We were deeply touched by your sincere congratulations. We will not forget the advice you gave us and will work hard to become great Kickflip,” and Donghwa bowed deeply. They also expressed their aspirations, saying, “We are confident in the singing and choreography of the seven members of Kickflip. In the future, we want to become a team that creates our own color and highlights each member’s strengths to become one.”

Meanwhile, Kickflip is performing well as a “K-pop super rookie,” recording 322,000 copies shipped on the Circle Chart with their debut album, and taking first place on the weekly album chart and weekly retail album chart.
