JYP Entertainment rookie group KickFlip marked their first debut anniversary with a meaningful milestone, successfully holding their first solo fan concert and sharing heartfelt moments with fans who have supported them since the beginning.
KickFlip held a total of four shows as part of their fan concert ‘2026 KickFlip FAN-CON <From KickFlip, To WeFlip>’ on January 17 and 18 at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall in Yongsan, Seoul. The concerts, held at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the 17th and 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the 18th, opened the group’s first fan-con tour, timed to coincide with their debut anniversary.
A Fan Concert Built on Connection
The fan concert followed a playful “rookie postman” concept, with KickFlip portraying themselves as newcomers delivering happiness to WeFlip. The show featured interactive segments, games, and skits centered on the idea of completing deliveries to “WeFlip Village,” drawing laughter and warm reactions from the audience.
One highlight included a talk segment where members read letters sent by fans, described as a mission to “gather delivery energy.” The messages, filled with encouragement and affection, created emotional moments throughout the venue. Members later moved through the audience to hand out signed balls, creating close up interactions that many fans described as unforgettable.
Performances That Defined Their First Year
Alongside the fan-focused segments, KickFlip showcased their growth as performers. The group delivered energetic stages of debut era tracks such as ‘Yeah, Right’ and ‘Mama Said (What Are You Gonna Be?)’, followed by ‘FREEZE’ from their second mini album. They also unveiled a new stage for ‘Singularity’ for the first time.
Fan-favorite B sides including ‘Like A Monster,’ ‘Electricity,’ ‘Gas On It,’ and ‘Someday the Sun Will Explode’ highlighted the group’s range, from powerful choreography to bright, melodic vocals. Their song ‘The First Song We Ever Sang,’ which earned them their first win on a terrestrial music show, brought a sentimental tone to the setlist.
Special cover stages added variety, including unit covers of Red Velvet’s ‘Peek-A-Boo’ and SEVENTEEN’s ‘Mansae,’ as well as a full-group performance of GOT7’s ‘A.’ Newly introduced unit songs also received strong reactions, with ‘Good Night’ and ‘Hyper Slide’ showcasing contrasting moods.
Looking Ahead Together
In their closing remarks, the members reflected on the past year, expressing gratitude for fans who supported them from debut. “It doesn’t feel real that it’s already our first anniversary,” they shared, adding that WeFlip’s presence gave them strength during unfamiliar early days. They ended with a promise to stay together “until the billionth anniversary.”
KickFlip will continue their fan-con tour in Busan, Gwangju, Cheongju, and Daegu. A digital single featuring the unit songs performed at the concert, ‘From KickFlip, To WeFlip,’ will be released on January 20 at 6 p.m. KST, extending the anniversary celebration beyond the stage.
