KickFlip are making a monumental return with the release of their 5th mini-album "KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1" out now on all platforms. The eight track project showcases KickFlip at their best, putting the high energy, pop-rock sound they’re known for on full display. Stream the mini-album HERE.
"KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1" picks up where the group’s previous release, "My First Kick," leaves off narratively, with the group crossing the line from teenage years into their 20s, and navigating the challenges that come with that. The new EP asks the tough questions about transitioning into adulthood, and the group shares their insights and the answers they’ve found along the way. It’s an introspective and insightful project full of change and new beginnings, with the group’s core identity and sound remaining at the forefront.
The EP’s first focus track, 'Puzzle Piece,' encapsulates the message and theme of the mini-album perfectly, comparing the confusion, anxiety, and growing pains we all undergo as we enter our 20s to a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit no matter how many attempts there are to try and force it. The corresponding music video for the track transports audiences into the dreamy sonic landscape of the track, showing a softer side to the group. Watch the video HERE.
The second focus track, 'Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)' serves as a counter to the confusion of 'Puzzle Piece,' encouraging listeners to shake off all self doubt and move forward without any fear. The track features chart-topping artist iann dior, and comes alongside a dynamic and lively music video that captures the carefree, fun nature of the track, combined with the cool, street aesthetic of the group. Watch the music video HERE. The EP also features writing and production contributions from members of the group, highlighting their versatility and creative talents beyond their roles as performers.
"KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1" comes on the heels of what has been a successful few years from the group. Since their debut in January 2025, the group has gone on to attaining enormous acclaim, achieving the “IS Rising Star” award at the Korean Grand Music Awards, the “Best New Artist” award at the Asia Artist Awards, the “Rookie of the Year Award” at the Seoul Music Awards, and more. The group has also graced some of the largest stages in the world, performing at Lollapalooza in 2025, and KCON in 2026. The group continues to make a splash and plans to carry its vibrant energy and high-energy sound into 2027 and beyond.
