Through Starship's large-scale project 'Debut's Plan', the new boy group IDID was born and, through the comeback showcase for their first digital single album 'PUSH BACK', showed a perfect evolution into a "high-end rough-doll."
IDID (Jang Yonghun, Kim Minjae, Park Wonbin, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, Baek Junhyuk, Jeong Semin) held a comeback showcase at 7:30 p.m. on the 20th at the outdoor plaza of COEX in Seoul and revealed the 'PUSH BACK' stage for the first time. The showcase was broadcast live on IDID's official YouTube channel, allowing global K-pop fans to watch IDID's first comeback.
Opening the showcase with the title track 'PUSH BACK', IDID immediately followed with the track 'STICKY BOMB' from their first mini album I did it., demonstrating flawless live skills and synchronized choreography. The members' natural street fashion and rough styling grabbed attention.
Marking their 67th day since debut, IDID's members recalled winning first place on music shows with their debut title track 'Jemotdaero Chanranhage' and recently receiving the IS Rising Star award at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards with iMBank (2025 KGMA), and expressed gratitude to fans. Through various talk corners that followed, they introduced the single 'PUSH BACK', shared behind-the-scenes stories and the music video, and answered questions left by fans.
IDID's fandom name was also revealed for the first time that day. WITHID is a name that means relying on and supporting each other and staying together for a long time, and it also signifies IDID's one and only precious fan in the world. The members celebrated WITHID's first birthday with a cake and took a group photo with fans. For the fans who watched the comeback showcase, they delivered intense energy with performances including 'STEP IT UP' and, for the first time as a full group, 'The moment that pierces a dream (飛必沖天)'. The members closed the 90-minute showcase meaningfully with the final greeting, "We will do our best to become idols that WITHID can be proud of and give you happy memories."
Before the comeback showcase that day, at 6 p.m., the title track and hip-hop dance song 'PUSH BACK', the hip-hop-based album track 'Heaven Smiles', and the 'PUSH BACK' music video were released on various online music sites and IDID's official channels. IDID's freewheeling charm, enjoying the chaos encountered in repetitive and meaningless daily life through music, was captured in dramatic yet tasteful camera work and performance, immediately capturing the eyes and ears of global K-pop fans. Fans praised the album with comments such as "This is exactly IDID's vibe. They nailed it," "Hip-hop ID will succeed," and "Truly proud of IDID."
IDID will perform the title track 'PUSH BACK' on various music shows and is scheduled to appear as rookie idols representing K-pop on the stage at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS, to be held at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on the 28th and 29th (local time).
