Rookie Group IDID Dominates Year-End Festivals, Solidifying 'It Factor' Status!

Starship Entertainment's ambitious new boy group, IDID, born from the 'Debut's Plan' project, is making waves across the year-end music festival circuit, proving their mettle as the 'hottest K-pop rookies.'

IDID – comprised of Jang Yong-hun, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yu-chan, Park Seong-hyun, Baek Jun-hyuk, and Jeong Se-min – delivered a powerful performance of their title track 'PUSH BACK' from their first digital single at the '2025 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan' held on December 13th at the Tokyo National Stadium. The show was witnessed by an electrifying crowd of 60,000 global fans.

This performance holds significant weight as it marks IDID's first terrestrial music festival stage since their debut. The '2025 Music Bank Global Festival in Japan,' which attracted 120,000 fans over two days, further cemented the global influence of K-pop.

Adding to their packed schedule, IDID is also slated to perform at the '17th Melon Music Awards (MMA 2025)' on December 20th at the Gocheok Sky Dome, as well as the '2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon' and '2025 MBC Gayo Daejejeon.' Expectations are soaring for their special performances planned for these major year-end events.

Launched by Starship, renowned for its artist development, after a five-year hiatus, IDID is a 7-member group recognized for their all-around capabilities, including dancing, singing, charisma, and strong global fan communication. They debuted on September 15th. Their debut album, 'I did it.,' sold over 441,524 copies in its first week, and the title track 'Jemeotdaero Chanranhage' (Recklessly Brilliant) secured a music show win just 12 days after their debut.

Following the release of their first single 'PUSH BACK' in November, which showcased their evolution from 'high-end refreshing idols' to 'high-end rough idols,' IDID was honored with the IS Rising Star award at the '2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA),' confirming their status as 'mega rookies.' They also made a strong impression at the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' and were recently named one of the '10 K-pop Rookie Groups Set to Dominate 2026' by American media outlet 'STARDUST,' highlighting their continuous rise.

IDID is currently dedicating themselves to rigorous practice day and night to deliver polished performances and showcase their evolving charm to fans at the upcoming year-end festivals.

Fans are showing enthusiastic support, commenting, 'As expected from IDID! Stage masters!', 'Super excited for the year-end stages!', and 'A group whose future looks even brighter.'
