Starship's mega project 'Debut's Plan' produced the new boy group IDID, which is sweeping year-end music festivals and showing the makings of a leading K-pop rookie
IDID (IDID·Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yu-chan, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Jun-hyeok, Jung Se-min) completed a powerful stage with the title track PUSH BACK from their first digital single album PUSH BACK before 60,000 global fans at the 2025 MUSIC BANK global festival in Japan, held on the 13th at the National Stadium in Tokyo.
The 2025 MUSIC BANK global festival in Japan, which drew 120,000 global fans over two days and proved the global status of K-pop, is significant as the first terrestrial music festival stage presented since IDID's debut.
IDID has also been named on the lineup for the 17th Melon Music Awards (MMA 2025) to be held on the 20th at Gocheok Sky Dome, and is scheduled to appear at the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon and the 2025 MBC Gayo Daejejeon, raising anticipation for the special performances they will present at year-end festivals for the first time since their debut.
IDID is a seven-member boy group launched by Starship, 'the house of artists,' after about five years; they debuted on Sept. 15 after being recognized for their all-rounder idol skills and growth potential across various plans including dance, singing, charm, and ability to communicate with global fans. Their debut album I did it. recorded 4,415,24?? copies in its first week, and the title track 'Jemotdaero Chanranhage' achieved first place on music shows 12 days after IDID's debut.
After releasing their first single PUSH BACK in November and showing the charm of a team that has grown from a 'high-end refreshing' concept to a 'high-end rough' concept, IDID proved they are a 'mega rookie' by winning the IS Rising Star award at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards with iMBank (2025 KGMA). Making their debut on the stage of the major K-pop awards show 2025 MAMA AWARDS also left a strong impression on global K-pop fans, and IDID was recently named by the U.S. outlet STARDUST as one of 10 K-pop rookie groups to shake 2026, furthering their rising trajectory.
Meanwhile, IDID, which has been named to year-end music festival lineups, is practicing day and night to deliver highly polished stages and showcase the team's charm to global fans.
