KickFlip (Korean: 킥플립; RR: Kikpeullip) is a South Korean boy band formed through SBS's reality competition program Loud and managed by JYP Entertainment. The group consists of seven members: Kyehoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyeon.[1] They debuted on January 20, 2025, with the extended play Flip It, Kick It!.

Name

[edit]

The group's name, KickFlip, refers to the skateboarding trick of the same name, which involves the rider making a full rotation along the board's long axis, symbolizing "the group's ambition to break conventions to deliver bold performances".[2]

History

[edit]

Formation through Loud

[edit]

KickFlip, alongside The New Six, were formed through the SBS K-pop reality competition program Loud, hosted by JYP Entertainment and P Nation. Loud premiered in June 2021 and ran till September, where Kyehoon, Keiju, Amaru, Lee Donghyeon and Yoon Min were selected as the members of JYP's new boy group.[3] However, in April 2023, Yoon Min launched a personal Instagram account, seemingly confirming his departure from JYP Entertainment and its upcoming boy group.[4] He later participated in Mnet's reality show Vocal Showdown in October 2023.[5]

2025–present: Debut with Flip It, Kick It!

[edit]

On November 21, 2024, during the 2024 MAMA Awards in Los Angeles, JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young announced that they are in the "final stages of preparation" for their upcoming boy group, and revealed a silhouetted image of its seven members.[6] A day later, JYP announced the name of their new boy group, KickFlip, along with a debut date of January 1, 2025.[6][7] Their debut was later postponed to January 6 as a response to the Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash.[8] KickFlip released their first EP Flip It, Kick It! on January 20, following the pre-release single "Umm Great" on January 6.[2]
