Group KickFlip is successfully carving out their own distinct growth trajectory through diverse music and performances.
Making their comeback on October 6 with the new mini album ‘KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1’, KickFlip has introduced their first-ever double title tracks since their debut in 2025, showcasing a 180-degree shift in charm. They are steadily cementing their ‘kick point’ for a major leap forward by actively participating in songwriting, performing at festivals, and collaborating with international artists.
Having captured various facets of youth through their previous tracks such as debut song ‘Mama Said’, ‘First Song’, ‘Twenty’, and ‘Want to Be a Thorn in Your Eye’, the group has firmly established ‘KickFlip Core’βa sound infused with band music and free-spirited energy. Their latest release presents a more mature perspective through the late-night autumn sensibility of ‘Unfinished’ and the forward-driving energy of ‘Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)’.
Listeners have responded enthusiastically to ‘Unfinished’, which member Gyehoon participated in, praising its fresh song structure and sincere lyrics, calling it music to be savored rather than consumed. Performances of ‘Kick Off The Wall’, credited to Gyehoon and Donghwa, also drew high praise for capturing KickFlip’s signature color and refreshing choreography. Additional tracks like ‘0 (Young)’, ‘Rockin”, ‘hate blueberry’, ‘Drop In’, and ‘Let’s Waste Youth Together’ further deepen the group’s emotional resonance with fans.
KickFlip has also expanded their musical horizons through collaborations with global artists. Donghyun previously teamed up with British singer-songwriter Etham on the single ‘Breathe’ in August, and for this 5th mini album, the entire group joined forces with American singer-songwriter iann dior to deliver an evolved sound.
This remarkable growth is reflected in their numbers. The new album surpassed 532,434 copies in initial sales, breaking their own personal record and sweeping the top spots on Hanteo and Circle weekly album charts. Furthermore, they secured three music show wins, proving their rising popularity. Anticipation continues to build for KickFlip’s next chapter as they turn musical and stage experiences into stepping stones for future success.
