The Pre-Debut Journey Gets Personal
Rookie boy group IDID, birthed from Starship Entertainment’s ambitious survival project ‘Debut’s Plan’, is already winning hearts through their self-made reality content ‘Fly, IDID’. With a mix of chaotic energy, emotional camaraderie, and full-on fan service, the group is building serious buzz just ahead of their debut.
Summer Break, K-pop Style
In Episode 4, fans were treated to a slice of IDID’s version of summer vacation. The boys splashed away in a water park’s wave pool—something that meant even more when fans learned member Jung Semin had been dreaming of visiting. The group even acted out a skit as students who forgot their homework. Safe to say: acting chops, unlocked.
Countryside Retreat, Comfort Food & Poetry
The boys then headed to a quiet countryside house—a classic Korean summer escape similar to staying at your grandparents’ for a cozy getaway. There, they created a daily schedule (and actually stuck to it!), cooked up spicy dakbokkeumtang (braised chicken stew) and cool yeolmu guksu (young radish noodles). Shoutout to Park Wonbin for his culinary MVP moment. As a cherry on top? They wrote poems together, sharing nostalgic summer vibes and youthful reflections.
Fandom POV & Offstage Energy
Episode 5 shifted gears with a heartfelt ‘fan’s-eye-view’ concept. Members Kim Minjae and Jung Semin revisited fan-made vlogs, even buying senior artists’ albums and completing their photo-card holders. (Yes, idols stanning idols—meta and adorable.)
Meanwhile, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, and Baek Junhyuk turned a coin karaoke into their own K-pop medley fest. Later, the whole squad reunited for a food challenge, blending sauces of their own invention in a mini mukbang moment.
Supporting Their Seniors Like True Little Brothers
IDID’s appreciation for their seniors hit peak sweetness when Jang Yonghoon and Park Wonbin prepped financiers (French almond cakes, anyone?) before attending WJSN’s Yeonjung’s musical. And Chu Yuchan showing up with a bouquet? Pure fanboy gold.
When it came time to support senior group MONSTA X, they went all out—matching lightsticks, a themed dress code, and visible awe during the concert. Moments like these didn’t just tug at fans’ heartstrings; they practically played a full symphony.
Fans First, Always
Every episode ends with heart. In a team meeting, IDID brainstormed gift ideas for their fans—from customized goodies to heartfelt letters. It wasn’t just cute—it was proof these rookies get it. Fan love: check.
Mark Your Calendar: Debut Incoming
‘Fly, IDID’ airs every Monday at 7 PM KST on IDID’s official YouTube until their debut. Their pre-debut track ‘STEP IT UP’ already hinted at potential, and now things get real: IDID will officially debut with their first mini-album ‘I did it.’ on September 15 with a showcase at Seoul’s YES24 Live Hall.
Get ready, world—the fifth generation of boy groups just got its next big thing.
