Recently, Korean netizens noticed that JYP Entertainment had filed a trademark for the name “Kick Flip,” stirring up rumors that this could be the name of the company’s much-anticipated upcoming boy group. Fans are wondering if this could signal the official debut of the group whose lineup was partially decided during the 2021 survival show LOUD.
LOUD was a high-stakes boy group selection show, where talented trainees competed for a spot in JYP Entertainment’s final debut team. Five trainees were ultimately chosen as the final lineup. However, one trainee later parted ways with the agency, leaving four remaining members who have since been seen together frequently.
A fan online provided a detailed breakdown of the remaining members and their roles, generating even more anticipation:
Lee Gye Hun – An experienced JYP trainee even before joining LOUD, Gye Hun’s talent made him stand out as a core member. Many expect him to play a leading role in the group and believe that the team will likely be built around his strengths.
Amaru – Amaru received high praise during LOUD for his voice, particularly as a Japanese trainee. Fans anticipate he will assume a significant vocal role in the group, either as a lead or main vocalist.
Keiju – During LOUD, Keiju’s dance skills and youthful visuals captured the audience’s hearts. Despite the delays in his debut, Keiju remains highly popular among fans and is expected to become one of the group’s standout members.
Lee Dong Hyun – Throughout LOUD, Lee Dong Hyun was a contestant that Park Jin Young (JYP) had a clear preference for. His strong impression during the show has fans excited to see him as part of the final group.
The same netizen also hinted at the presence of a few additional unidentified trainees who have been seen with these four members. These individuals are thought to be non-public trainees, as their identities and faces have not yet been revealed to fans.
As rumors continue to circulate, netizens have been sharing their thoughts and excitement across online communities:
- The name is good.
- I think it’s the best name so far for rookie idols.
- That name is really hip.
- I wonder what the other three trainees look like.
- All the members look so cute.
