From Rookie Status to No.1: KickFlip’s Big Leap
JYP Entertainment’s rising boy group KickFlip just hit a huge milestone—taking home their first-ever first-place trophy on Show Champion with their comeback track ‘My First Love Song’. The win marks a major turning point for the group, who only debuted in January.
‘We Did It, WeFlip!’
During their comeback week promotions for their third mini album ‘My First Flip’, the group clinched the top spot on October 1. At their comeback showcase weeks earlier, they made their goals clear: “We want to win first place on a music show.” Manifestation, confirmed.
“This win is thanks to our fans, WeFlip. We’re just getting started,” the members said in their acceptance speech. They also gave a special shoutout to Amal, who is currently on a hiatus: “Amal hyung, we’re sad you couldn’t be onstage with us, but—we won first place!”
An Encore Worth Rewatching
Fans weren’t just hyped by the trophy—they were floored by the encore stage. The group ran wild with high-energy moves, serving straight-up “rookie fire” that had fans online buzzing with love.
- “That encore is pure serotonin.”
- “You can feel the hunger—they’re here to stay.”
- “New gen kings in the making.”
Million-Selling Rookies
‘My First Flip’ isn’t just a hyped release—it’s a record-breaker too. With 402,405 copies sold in its first week, KickFlip’s total 2024 album sales have crossed one million units across just three mini albums. Not bad for a group that debuted less than a year ago.
And they’re not just pretty voices—KickFlip was hands-on in producing the album, adding depth to their already growing artistic rep.
The First Love That Hits Different
The music video for ‘My First Love Song’ has fans swooning—and clicking. It broke 10 million YouTube views within a week of its September 22 release. The adorable plot? Members plot a clumsy yet charming confession to their crush… except the big twist is, the recipient is you—the viewer. K-drama vibes much?
KickFlip’s Next Chapter
With their first music show win under their belt and international fan buzz growing louder, KickFlip is officially out of rookie territory. As they continue to rise, all eyes are on what their “next flip” will be.
Will Amal return in time for the next comeback? Will they go for a full album? One thing’s certain—the Flip era has only just begun.
