SEOUL, April 06 (AJP) -South Korean rookie boy group KickFlip, under JYP Entertainment, dropped its fourth mini album My First Kick on Monday, kicking off its second year since debut in January 2025.
The group consists of seven members, but member Amaru did not participate in this comeback due to health reasons.
The six members — Gyehoon, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju and Donghyeon — showcased the new tracks with high-energy performances.
The title track, “Eye-Poppin’,” is a hyper-punk dance number that signals a bolder turn in the group’s sound, pairing punchy beats with a cheeky, no-holds-barred love confession.
Since debuting with Flip it, Kick it!, KickFlip has steadily built momentum with releases including Kick Out, Flip Now! and My First Flip. The group notched its first terrestrial music show win, picked up multiple rookie awards and expanded its global reach with festival appearances such as Lollapalooza.
Earlier this year, KickFlip wrapped its first fan-con tour, 2026 KickFlip FAN-CON “From KickFlip, To WeFlip”, spanning 12 shows across five cities — a run that underscored its growing stage presence.
My First Kick will be available on major streaming platforms at 6 p.m. Monday. The group will follow with a comeback show on Mnet M2 at 7 p.m. and a fan showcase at 8 p.m.
