The label has so far rolled out K-pop boy bands such as 2PM, GOT7 and Stray Kids.
KickFlip, which is the name of a skateboarding technique where a rider kicks the board with the tip of the foot and flips it 360 degrees in the air, taps a skateboard as their representative symbol.
The boy group will comprise seven members, of which four – Gye-hun, Dong-hyeon, Kei-ju and Amaru – are former contestants from the SBS audition programme Loud.
The agency released a teaser image showing a silhouette of its members along with a skateboard with the name of the band on social media.
Netizens have since flooded social media with welcome messages.
One user wrote on X: "Gyehun, Amaru, Keiju and Donghyeon thank you for not giving up... to the new members thank you as well for completing the line up... let's be all together."
Another added: "To anyone who is unaware, their debut has been long overdue. 4/7 of its members were formed through the survival show 'LOUD' back in 2021. that's 3 whole years of waiting.. the longest time for any survival show group to debut in kpop history (sic)."
JYP Entertainment’s 2025 calendar also includes the debut of a new boy group in China, a new Latin girl group, and the launch of new artistes across genres, such as trot and R&B.
