Meet IDID, K-pop’s Newest Power Players
After stealing the spotlight with their rebellious pre-debut track “STEP IT UP”, IDID is ready to go global. Starship Entertainment’s long-awaited rookie boy group will hit the stage at KCON LA 2025, marking their first-ever overseas performance.
The Big Stage in LA Awaits
From August 1–3, the LA Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena will transform into a K-pop frenzy for KCON LA 2025. IDID—made up of members Jang Yonghun, Kim Minjae, Park Wonbin, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, Baek Junhyuk, and Jung Semin—will make their global debut on August 2 during the M COUNTDOWN stage.
“It’s our first time performing on such a big stage. Of course we’re nervous, but we’re even more excited,” the group shared via KCON’s official social media. “We’re bringing high energy and IDID-style charisma. Get ready—we’re going to tear it up.”
From ‘STEP IT UP’ to Stepping Out
IDID impressed fans with their vibrant energy and catchy flow in ‘STEP IT UP’, a track that fuses high-teen vibes with hip-hop swagger. They’ve already appeared on major Korean music shows like M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo Summer Special, proving their all-rounder chops way ahead of their official debut.
This KCON appearance is a meaningful milestone for the group, as it marks their first performance in front of a global audience. Fans are already buzzing, with many seeing this as the birth of a potential next-gen K-pop sensation.
Debut Album and Showcase Coming Soon
The official debut is set for September 15, with the release of their first mini album ‘I did it.’. On the same day, IDID will hold their debut showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul. It’s the full-circle moment they—and their growing fandom—have been waiting for.
Backed by Starship Entertainment, known for producing acts like MONSTA X and IVE, IDID isn’t just a boy group—they’re the company’s next major bet. The group was formed through the ambitious ‘Debut’s Plan’ project, designed to highlight idols with not just talent, but versatility and stage presence.
Global Takeoff in 3…2…1
IDID’s KCON debut isn’t just a performance—it’s their official launch into the global K-pop arena. Will they be the next breakout rookie group of 2025? Stay tuned, and if you’re headed to LA this summer, get ready to chant their name—loudly.
