KickFlip held a showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in eastern Seoul on Monday to mark the release of its second EP “Kick Out, Flip Now!”

The seven-member group — Kyehoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju and Donghyeon — performed the lead track “Freeze,” the B-side “Skip It!” and also introduced their album to the media.

The EP features seven tracks, including the title track “Freeze,” along with B-sides “Skip It!,” “Before the Sun Explodes,” “Electricity,” “Complicated!!,” “Code Red” and “How We KickFlip.” Members Kyehoon, Donghwa, Donghyeon, Minje and Amaru contributed to the album’s creation, taking part in songwriting and composition. Amaru is credited for the lyrics, composition and arrangement of the track “Complicated!!”

“We wanted this album to serve as a kind of stamp to imprint KickFlip’s unique identity,” Donghwa told reporters. “That’s why the members voluntarily took part in composing and writing lyrics. We hope that by doing so, our message reaches fans in a more genuine and personal way.”

“There was a period before our debut when I was completely immersed in songwriting,” Amaru said. “I wrote over 100 songs in a year, and “Complicated!!” was one of them. Since it contains so much of my effort, I feel a strong attachment to it,” he added.

“Kick Out, Flip Now!” was officially released on Monday at 6 p.m.

Here are some highlights from the event as KickFlip posed for the cameras and answered questions from reporters.
