The new boy group IDID, born from Starship's mega project "Debut's Plan," opened a brilliant golden path for their debut by taking first place on the weekly album chart of the Circle Chart with their first mini album I did it.
According to the 38th-week Circle Chart released on the 25th by the Korea Music Content Association, which operates the Circle Chart, IDID (Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yoo-chan, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Jun-hyuk, Jeong Se-min) recorded first place on the weekly album chart with their debut album I did it, released on the 15th, selling 441,524 copies.
In addition, the title track of I did it, "Shining Recklessly," newly entered the weekly download chart at No. 10, and most of the album tracks, including SLOW TIDE, STICKY BOMB, The Moment That Pierces a Dream (飛必沖天), So G.oo.D (I like you like crazy), ImPerfect, and 꽃피울 CROWN, ranked within the top 70 of the weekly download chart, proving they are a "mega rookie" set to dominate the 5th-generation idol market.
IDID is a seven-member boy group presented by Starship, the "house of artists," for the first time in about five years. They are a "complete idol" composed of members recognized for their skills in dance, singing, fan communication, and expressiveness through the mega project "Debut's Plan." After pre-debut activities in July, they made their official debut on Sept. 15, drawing the attention of global K-pop fans.
IDID's debut album I did it is an album that captures IDID's unique identity by confidently showing that you can be cool even if you are not perfect, embracing an attitude that makes imperfection brilliant, and exposing the members' unrefined emotions and energy and the moments each member experienced and felt in their own way. It has been highly praised as a high-quality debut album in which every track could be considered a title track, thanks to collaborations with global producers including U.S. producer Dem Jointz, who has participated in albums by world-class pop stars and global K-pop artists.
The title track "Shining Recklessly" expresses a free and energetic sensibility; acoustic guitar and rhythmic drums lead a lively sound, and the members' refreshing vocals add brightness and a cool youthful energy unique to IDID.
On their debut day IDID presented their debut stage through domestic music shows including a fan showcase, Mnet's M Countdown, KBS 2TV's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core, SBS's Inkigayo, SBS funE's The Show, MBC M and MBC every1's Show Champion, revealing exceptional skill and charm as a "high-end refreshing idol." They are also scheduled to appear on Music Bank, airing today (26th), raising expectations among K-pop fans.
