KickFlip made a perfect comeback, scoring 100 points out of 100 with their new album 'Kick Out, Flip Now!' and the title track 'FREEZE'. JYP Entertainment's next-generation boy group KickFlip released their second mini album and title track 'FREEZE' on May 26 at 6 p.m. The new release surpassed 350,000 pre-orders as of the day before the release on the 25th, demonstrating the intense interest surrounding 'K-pop super rookie' KickFlip's first comeback. Members Gyeo Hoon, Amaru, Dong Hwa, Joo Wang, Min Je, K-Ju, and Dong Hyun held a comeback showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, at 8 p.m. on the day of their comeback, live-streaming the event simultaneously on JYP and KickFlip's official YouTube channels for domestic and international fans. The seven members made a surprise appearance in the audience, heating up fan excitement with cheerful smiles and spontaneous performances, singing the new album's track 'Let's Do It'. Following the lively performance of 'Let's Do It', they hosted a talk segment themed around their performance evaluations, enjoying a fulfilling time. KickFlip introduced the album, stating, "The benefits of the album include alleviating cold limbs, anti-aging, aiding in weight loss, and even reading one's partner's mind," alongside their unique 'King Bad' presentation materials which added entertainment value. Furthermore, Dong Hyun, who is credited on the new song 'FREEZE', showcased point choreography and shared behind-the-scenes stories from the recording directing sessions. Additionally, members involved in the production of tracks like 'Let's Do It', 'Someday the Sun Will Explode', and 'Complicated!!' explained the songs and shared related stories, shining with affection. Notably, Amaru, who took sole responsibility for writing, composing, and arranging track five 'Complicated!!', shared his creative process, saying, "I completed it in 3 hours without postponing to tomorrow," showcasing his artistry.
The release of the full performance version of KickFlip's new song 'FREEZE', dubbed 'the next-generation stage artisans,' heightened expectations for their comeback activities. The point choreography that momentarily 'FREEZEs' spectators and the 'explosive refreshing energy' that fills the stage will surely cool off the early summer heat. Following this, KickFlip elevated the atmosphere by practicing things they wanted to achieve. They participated in games in anticipation of 'fixed entertainment appearances' and threw sponge baseballs while looking forward to the day they would 'pitch the ball.' They also showcased their solid vocal skills by singing like on 'music show encore stages,' demonstrating their potential. Finally, they revealed their fandom name 'WeFlip' and closed the highlights with an emotional message. "Your name as supporters of KickFlip is 'WeFlip.' It means 'always together with KickFlip as us (WE)." This announcement was met with cheers, and K-Ju shed tears of joy at the enthusiastic response from fans. KickFlip expressed, "Thank you sincerely for being together for this memorable moment of our first comeback. It is a true honor and happiness to be with our WeFlip. We hope KickFlip and WeFlip can create many memories together for a long time, and please enjoy our carefully prepared mini album. We will show you our growth while continuing our activities, so we ask for your expectations, and we hope you spend a refreshing summer with KickFlip!"
