IDID Achieves Music Show Win Just 12 Days After Debut with 'Wildly Radiant'
Starship Entertainment's new boy group IDID has achieved a remarkable music show win, clinching the top spot on 'Music Bank' a mere 12 days after their debut.
The seven-member group, comprising Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yu-chan, Park Seong-hyun, Baek Jun-hyuk, and Jeong Se-min, secured first place for the fourth week of September on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' with a total score of 8,096 points. This score was a composite of digital music sales, broadcast frequency, K-pop fan voting, physical album sales, and social media metrics.
Overwhelmed by the victory, the members were momentarily speechless before leader Jang Yong-hoon stepped up to deliver the acceptance speech. He expressed gratitude to the 'Music Bank' production team, their agency Starship Entertainment, and especially their fans, promising to 'work hard to become an even brighter IDID.' The group concluded their message with heartfelt declarations of 'We love you' while striking heart poses.
True to their promise, the members fulfilled their '1st place pledge' of applying cooling patches and performing a deep bow during their encore stage. They flawlessly performed their title track 'Wildly Radiant' even while adhering to the patches, showcasing their refreshing charm and stable live vocals, which further amplified the joy of their win.
'Wildly Radiant,' the title song from IDID's debut mini-album 'I did it.,' captures a free-spirited and energetic essence. The refreshing vocals of the members, layered over a bright and rhythmic acoustic guitar and drum-driven sound, perfectly convey IDID's youthful energy. The album itself marked their arrival as 'mega rookies,' topping the Circle Chart's album chart in its first week of release.
IDID was formed through Starship Entertainment's ambitious 'Debut's Plan' project, introducing a 7-member boy group designed for global appeal. The members, with an average age of 20.5, garnered significant attention even before their debut for their strong visuals and performance skills.
