Is this the name of JYP Entertainment's new boy group?

AKP STAFF

Korean netizens recently discovered that JYP Entertainment registered a trademark for the name "Kick Flip," sparking speculation that this could be the name of the company’s upcoming boy group.

'LOUD,' a boy group selection show launched in 2021, culminated with five trainees chosen for JYP Entertainment’s final debut lineup. Since then, however, one of the original five has departed from JYP Entertainment, leaving four remaining trainees. These four have been frequently seen together, leading fans to believe they are the final lineup set to debut.

One netizen listed up the members who were often seen together anticipating the new JYP Entertainment boy group.

Lee Gye Hun - "Before appearing on LOUD, he was already a long-term trainee at JYP. During LOUD, he played the role of an ace and was a core member. It’s expected that the team will essentially be built around him."

Amaru - "Given his outstanding vocal ability, which earned him praise for being exceptional for a Japanese trainee during the survival show, he’s expected to take on at least a lead vocalist or main vocalist role."

Keiju - "During 'LOUD,' he gained popularity for his excellent dance skills and cute visuals, even though he was only in his third year of middle school. With his debut repeatedly delayed, he’s now on the verge of adulthood, but he’s still expected to be one of the core popular members."

Lee Dong Hyun - "During 'LOUD,' he was a contestant that J.Y. Park took a strong liking to and was determined to bring into JYP, clearly seeing his potential."


The netizen added, "In addition, there are about three other individuals recently spotted with him, who are presumed to be non-public trainees, as their faces have not yet been revealed."

Korean netizens and fans expressed their excitement in an online community and commented:

"Finally..."
"The name has 'Kick' in it."
"The name is okay..."
"What the... Didn't they already debut?"
"The name is good."
"Are the members of LOUD all debuting?"
"It sounds like a brand name."
"I think it's the best name so far for rookie idols."
"Are they debuting next year?"
"That name is really hip."
"Finally, Keiju is debuting..."
"The logo is cute."
"I was waiting for you, Dong Hyun."
"I was waiting for Keiju to debut for so long, I guess he's finally debuting!"
"I wonder what the other three trainees look like."
"All the members look so cute."
