JYP Entertainment's rising boy band KickFlip is set to make a striking transformation into a 7-member band with their upcoming third mini-album, 'My First Flip,' scheduled for release on September 22nd.

As the comeback date approaches, KickFlip has been sequentially releasing diverse concept teasers. On September 15th at midnight, the group unveiled their final concept film and group/unit photos on their official social media channels, amplifying the anticipation. The released video captured members Gyehoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Jewang, Minje, Kaiju, and Donghyun performing a vibrant live band session for their fans. A humorous moment unfolded when the music unexpectedly cut out, causing them to fluster and quickly end the broadcast, showcasing their fresh and playful charm.

In the group and unit images, the members exuded a free-spirited and vibrant energy, posing with various instruments like guitars, bass, and keyboards. Notably, during this teaser, the seven members offered a surprise sneak peek of a segment from their title track, 'The First Song I Sing.' The exhilarating and refreshing band sound has significantly heightened expectations for the full song.

The album title, 'My First Flip,' playfully replaces 'love' in 'My First Love' with 'Flip,' hinting at the album's theme. Featuring the title track 'The First Song I Sing,' which includes participation from the youngest member Donghyun, the album boasts credits for all tracks bearing the members' names, highlighting their self-produced effort. KickFlip aims to resonate with a wider audience by narrating stories of first love, complete with its awkward moments, thereby expanding their influence as 'K-pop Super Rookies.'

KickFlip's third mini-album, 'My First Flip,' and its title track 'The First Song I Sing' will be released on September 22nd at 6 PM KST. They will commence their official comeback activities with a performance on Mnet's M2 Comeback Show at 7 PM and a comeback showcase at 8 PM on the same day.

KickFlip is the new 7-member boy band launched by JYP Entertainment. Their third mini-album, 'My First Flip,' is highly anticipated as it features the members' active participation in songwriting and composing. The group's name, 'KickFlip,' inspired by a skateboarding trick, reflects their dynamic and energetic team identity.
