All you need to know about JYP Entertainment's K-pop boy group, KickFlip
KickFlip is a seven-member K-pop boy group consisting of the members Kyehoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyeon. They debuted under JYP Entertainment on January 20, 2025, with their debut mini-album, Flip It, Kick It!. The group's members are a combination of winners from the reality K-pop survival show LOUD and JYP Entertainment trainees.
LOUD is a 2021 reality K-pop survival show produced by JYP Entertainment and P Nation. The goal of the show was to form two K-pop boy groups from the winners, one under JYP Entertainment and another under P Nation. As a result, some of the winners from LOUD, including Kyehoo, Amaru, Keiju, and Dongyeon, made it into KickFlip's debut lineup.
The group's debut lineup was further strengthened with the addition of three new faces from JYP Entertainment's trainees, namely Donghwa, Juwang, and Minje. The group's name comes from the skateboard trick, where a person kicks and flips a skateboard at a 360-degree angle along its long axis for it to land back on the ground.
Given that many fans and netizens became familiar with most of the group's members through the reality survival show, they are excited to see the group finally debut after over three years. Additionally, with the debut release and its accompanying commercial success, fans are eager to see what KickFlip has in store for them in the future.
