K-pop Super Rookie KickFlip Returns with Bold Energy in Second Mini Album
K-pop Super Rookie KickFlip, under JYP Entertainment, is making their first comeback with their second mini album ‘Kick Out, Flip Now!’ on May 26 at 6 PM KST. The seven-member boy group, which includes Kyehun, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyun, debuted just four months ago and quickly rose to fame with their explosive debut release ‘Flip it, Kick it!’ and title track ‘Mama Said (뭐가 되려고?)’.
Within only 33 days of debut, KickFlip achieved double wins at music award shows and dominated various weekly charts on Korea’s Circle Chart. Their bold energy and Gen Z-focused messaging have captivated both domestic and global K-pop fans, earning them the title of the next major player in the industry.
Early on May 2, JYP Entertainment released a teaser trailer and promotion schedule via official social media channels, signaling the group’s anticipated return. The trailer resonated with Gen Z by portraying the desire to break free from mundane routines like office work, presentations, and hospital visits. With bold captions like “Want to escape today?”, the video concludes with all members racing across a bridge, shouting “Let’s ditch it!”—a moment that powerfully symbolizes freedom and liberation.
The album’s title, ‘Kick Out, Flip Now!’, reflects KickFlip’s mission to break norms and disrupt the existing structure of the K-pop landscape. According to the promotional timeline, fans can expect a sequential release of the track list, concept photos, track videos, and music video teasers leading up to their return. A comeback showcase is scheduled for May 26 at 8 PM KST, further amplifying excitement among fans.
With their quick rise and high-impact visuals, KickFlip is reaffirming their status as a K-pop Super Rookie with their upcoming release. Their journey continues to challenge the conventional and deliver a fresh era of dynamic, rule-breaking performances.
