[Rankings] 'JYP Rookie' Kickflip, #1 on Chinese Music Charts... Proving Global Momentum

JYP Entertainment's (hereafter JYP) next-generation boy group KickFlip has shown global momentum by topping domestic and international charts with their debut album.



KickFlip debuted on January 20th with the release of their first mini-album "Flip it, Kick it!" and the title track "Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)" The album garnered attention by surpassing 300,000 pre-orders as of the 15th before KickFlip's official debut. In particular, according to Hanteo Chart, an album sales aggregation site, the group sold 243,949 copies on the first day of their debut, and topped the daily album charts of Hanteo Chart and Circle Chart on the 20th.

The title song "Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)" topped the Korean chart of Chinese music platform Kugou Music as of the 21st. In addition, all songs in the album entered the top 10 on the same chart, with "Yeah Yeah" at 4th, "Knock Knock" at 6th, "WARRIORS" at 7th, "Meet Me Tomorrow" at 8th, and "Like A Monster" at 9th.



The album "Flip it, Kick it!" which announces the emergence of a "K-pop super rookie" is garnering favorable reviews for all six tracks. Comments from the album writers, such as "The members really put their passion and sincerity into perfecting this song, and I'm really proud of the result" (Tommy Park), "When I heard the version the members sang, I thought they did a great job" (Young K), and "You really have to hear Minje's voice in the bridge part of 'Like A Monster'ㅎ" (Jeong Ho-hyun (e.one)), give us a glimpse into Kickflip's passion.



The music video for the title song "Mama Said (What Are You Trying to Be?)" surpassed 5.97 million views on YouTube as of the morning of the 22nd. JYP responded to the interest by opening behind-the-scenes cuts of the debut song's music video. Captured at the music video filming site, Gye-hoon, Amaru, Dong-hwa, Joo-wang, Minje, K-ju, and Dong-hyun caught everyone's attention with cuts of them concentrating on the performance as well as their intense chemistry together. The seven members, who are full of free vibes and dynamic energy, are expected to further increase the hearts of fans around the world through their debut activities.



The music video for 'Mama Said (What are you trying to become?)' visualizes the message, 'I don't care about the obvious nagging and I'm going my own way.' The scenes of them enjoying the free world without worrying about what others think, such as blowing a hamburger with a big swing or making a bird out of a tree in the garden, convey a sense of freshness. The relaxed performance on top of the brisk rhythm and energetic sound is calling for repeat playback.



Meanwhile, the group name 'kickflip' refers to the high-difficulty technical term of spinning the board 360 degrees with the tip of the foot. Gye-hoon, Amaru, Dong-hwa, Joo-wang, Min-je, Kei-ju, and Dong-hyun are growing their position as 'K-pop super rookies' with the bold ambition to be unconstrained by the past and to make new activities, just like turning the board once and moving forward.
