The new boy group IDID, born from Starship's large-scale project "Debut's Plan," succeeded in organized fan outreach to middle school girls through their first-ever "school attack" since debut.
IDID (Jang Yonghun, Kim Minjae, Park Wonbin, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, Baek Junhyuk, Jeong Semin) appeared as the protagonists of the "SCHOOL JAM" content recently released on the 1theK Originals – Wonder K Originals YouTube channel. The school where IDID's "school attack" took place was Icheon Yangjeong Girls' Middle School, and staff members were busy preparing the surprise from early morning.
IDID set out early in the morning for the "school attack." Members who had debuted the day before the shoot worried, "Will the students know us?" and split into "Attack Team 1 (Jang Yonghun, Park Wonbin, Baek Junhyuk)" and "Attack Team 2 (Kim Minjae, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, Jeong Semin)" as they moved. Their concern that no one would know IDID proved unfounded. The moment their identities were revealed, the students welcomed IDID with thunderous cheers, and the members were deeply moved.
IDID opened with a performance of their pre-debut song "STEP IT UP" in front of an auditorium quickly filled with students. The members' faces lit up when they confirmed a fan who had supported IDID since "Debut's Plan" and even brought photo cards. After introductions, IDID performed a specially prepared stage for the students, covering NCT DREAM's "Candy" to showcase their cute and lively charm, and held a "random play dance competition" with the students, demonstrating the performance of Saza Boys' "Soda Pop," interacting closely with fans.
The final stage was the title and debut track "Radiantly Reckless" from their first mini album I did it., and the members completed a passionate performance that captured the students' hearts. Vivid reactions to IDID's lively "school attack," which was held both as a live broadcast inside the school and from outside the windows, poured in. Netizens identifying themselves as Yangjeong Girls' Middle School students left comments such as "Appearing through the window was the most novel entrance among 'school attacks,'" "The moment I found my first bias," "It felt like a dream. I'm a fan from today!," and "The most special day of my life," certifying their fandom for IDID.
