IDID Drops Personality-Packed Concept Photos Ahead of Pre-Debut
Starship Entertainment’s new K-pop boy group IDID is getting creative with their pre-debut content—and fans are eating it up. As part of Starship’s grand-scale debut project Debut’s Plan, the seven-member group released a set of concept photos teasing their unique personalities—and it’s got K-pop fans buzzing with theories.
Who Is IDID?
The rookie lineup—Jang Yonghoon, Kim Minjae, Park Wonbin, Chu Yuchan, Park Sunghyun, Baek Junho, and Jung Semin—has been slowly unveiled through social media in recent weeks. On June 18, IDID dropped a photobook-style preview on their official SNS channels, giving global fans their first taste of the group’s character-driven storytelling. Themed “Follow the Trace”, the set poses one intriguing question: “What did you do yesterday?”
The Clues: Props That Speak
Scattered across gritty asphalt in the photos are everyday objects meant to reflect each member’s taste and character—some fans are calling them “personality puzzles.” From Jang Yonghoon’s bookshelf vibes to Kim Minjae’s soccer ball and chocolate bar combo, each image hints at who these soon-to-be idols really are.
- Jang Yonghoon: Avid reader with serious intellectual flair
- Kim Minjae: Chocolate-loving football fan
- Park Wonbin: Parrot enthusiast and camera whiz
- Chu Yuchan: Fruit connoisseur
- Park Sunghyun: Skateboarder meets style icon
- Baek Junho: Obsessed with sharks—yes, really
- Jung Semin: Collects accessories and all things cute
The snapshot series not only gives fans early insight but also plays a smart game of foreshadowing. These aren’t just glam shots—they’re Easter eggs that say, “These guys have depth.”
Visuals That Spark Curiosity
What’s also catching attention? An updated look for each member in what the group is calling their “alternative verification outfits.” These aren’t your typical school uniforms or battle gear—instead, they reflect identity, growth, and self-discovery. One standout visual element: melting ice. Floating among the props is cool, clear ice—a clever metaphor for IDID’s fresh and “cool to the core” rookie energy.
Countdown to Pre-Debut and Debut
Mark your calendars: IDID’s official pre-debut lands July 24, and the group’s first mini album, “I did it.” drops September 15. With their concept-driven rollout and interactive storytelling, IDID is on track to make a strong opening statement—not just as performers, but as personas worth following.
