History

Formation through Loud

[edit]

KickFlip, alongside The New Six, were formed through the SBS K-pop reality competition program Loud, hosted by JYP Entertainment and P Nation. Loud premiered in June 2021 and ran till September, where Kyehoon, Keiju, Amaru, Lee Donghyeon and Yoon Min were selected as the members of JYP's new boy group. However, in April 2023, Yoon Min launched a personal Instagram account, seemingly confirming his departure from JYP Entertainment and its upcoming boy group.[2] He later participated in Mnet's reality show Vocal Showdown in October 2023.[3]

2025–present: Debut with Flip it, Kick it!

[edit]

On November 21, 2024, during the 2024 MAMA Awards in Los Angeles, JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young announced that they are in the "final stages of preparation" for their upcoming boy group, and revealed a silhouetted image of its seven members.[4] A day later, JYP announced the name of their new boy group, KickFlip, along with a debut date of January 1, 2025.[4] Their debut was later postponed to January 6, as a response to the Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash.[5] KickFlip will release their first extended play Flip it, Kick it! on January 20, following the pre-release single "Umm Great" on January 6.[6]
