KPOP DISCOVER's KickFlip note

Two things hold KickFlip together: a bold leaning towards performance, and a youth concept that runs across releases. Including members out of LOUD, the seven-piece debuted from JYP Entertainment in January 2025 with Mama Said, and the group name comes from a skateboard trick.

Treating Umm Great as the pre-debut song and Mama Said as the formal debut makes the flow easy to follow. My First Flip and My First Kick form a continuous youth concept dealing with first love and the spring of turning twenty, and taking in the dance practice and the performance versions alongside the music video brings out the strength of the performing.

The catalogue is not large yet because the debut is recent, but everything from the pre-debut work to the linked youth concept can be followed in one line. Mama Said first, Umm Great second, My First Flip third gives the debut, the pre-debut stretch and the youth concept.

Editors' take Mama Said / Umm Great / My First Flip — a bold performance leaning and a youth concept in three songs, from a seven-piece on JYP.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 111/ 210 groups

No. 111 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 53%)

  • 0Japanese releases
  • 0Japan-related tracks
  • 2Members from Japan
  • 2Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
