JYP's new boy group 'KickFlip' is on the brink of debut, attracting attention with their strong teamwork. The agency posted an introduction video on 'KickFlip's' official SNS on the 9th, featuring members Gyehun, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyun.

They reminisced about their trainee days. Gyehun said, "(We) weren't close from the start. After spending a long time together, it became natural to have each other by our sides," reflecting the team's atmosphere.

Amaru recalled, "Since we were always together at the dorm, we had things like 'the loser has to make breakfast,' and Donghyun's ramen risotto was the most shocking."

They became closer through small crises. They failed a high-difficulty choreography during a monthly evaluation. Juwang recalled, "I was so nervous that my legs were shaking, and I made a mistake."

Donghwa reminisced about their efforts, saying, "After that, we practiced harder. We practiced until dawn, and then we all went to a nearby restaurant to eat seolleongtang."

Lastly, Minje said, "It seems everyone endured well to get here," adding, "Being with the members makes me excited. I want to show ourselves on stage soon."

Meanwhile, 'KickFlip' is a new 7-member boy group launched by JYP. The team name is derived from a difficult skateboarding trick that involves spinning the board 360 degrees. Their official debut date is the 20th, and they pre-released the track 'Yeah Sure' from 'Flip It, Kick It' on the 6th, which rose to 3rd place in the trending videos on YouTube in Korea.
