JYP Entertainment's rookie boy group KickFlip showcased fantastic tiki-taka in their own content "Kick 2 Kick."
KickFlip (Gyehun, Amaru, Donghwa, Ju-wang, Minje, KJ, Donghyun) debuted on Jan. 20 with their mini album "Flip it, Kick it!" They left a strong first impression with their solid skills and unique performances and shone as "K-pop super rookies." On Dec. 12 at 8 p.m., they first presented their own content "Kick 2 Kick" through their official YouTube channel, drawing fans with their relaxed and natural charm, which is different from their stage presence.
"Kick 2 Kick" is a talk format entertainment content under the theme of "time spent only looking at each other," where members pair up and share honest and cheerful stories. The teaser video released ahead of the launch generated significant buzz with a concept parodying popular entertainment programs, heightening anticipation for the main content.
In the first episode, KJ and Donghyun showcased their strong chemistry by answering questions drawn from a lottery. When asked, "If you were to compare each other’s first impressions to food?" Donghyun compared KJ's cute and refreshing charm to "tanghulu," while KJ cleverly likened Donghyun's sweet side to "chocolate cake." When they were asked about the "abilities they want to steal from each other," Donghyun noted, "I even looked up your fancam," expressing admiration for KJ's expressiveness, and KJ humorously responded, "I want to steal Donghyun's life, who has expression acting, vocal color, and live skills all in one."
They also shared episodes from their trainee days spent pursuing their dreams. From the story of Amaru, the "insect doctor," dealing with a moth that appeared in the practice room to recalling their participation in the audition program SBS "LOUD," they shared various memories. Finally, the two reflected on their time together and expressed their affection for each other, which elicited laughter when a drawing of each other’s faces they created was unexpectedly revealed at the end of the video. KickFlip's candid charm captured in their own content "Kick 2 Kick" can be viewed every Wednesday at 8 p.m. on their official YouTube channel.
KickFlip recently successfully completed their debut activities with significant achievements. With their debut work "Flip it, Kick it," they topped the Circle Chart weekly album chart and retail album chart, and after obtaining the official initial certification from Hanteo Chart, they won two awards at a music award ceremony just 33 days after their debut, showcasing their prowess as "super rookies." Their name, which suggests moving forward like a skateboard that spins around once, reflects their intent to break free from the existing norms and create a distinct group identity through various performances and content. Expectations are high for KickFlip's future endeavors.
