minje talking about boynextdoor's woonhak!
“boynextdoor woonhak sunbaenim and i have been close friends ever since elementary. we hang out during holidays and if we have free time. and it's right that seeing this friend of mine also made me dream of being a singer, so on the day that my introduction video was uploaded, woonhak called me at night. he cheered on me and gave me advice when it comes to performing. he said i have to flirt a lot on stage.”
jun.k asked amaru and donghwa about writing process on umm great. amaru said he'd work on it from time to time and revise it along the way, but is still getting used to spending long periods of time for revision!
donghwa said he tried to write the lyrics in a way that expresses themselves as positively as possible and contemplated on gyehun's part on the second verse because he wanted it to have a casual look.

an article on #KickFlip's journey from trainees to artists 🩶
“juwang trained for more than three years, donghwa for seven years, amaru for four years, kyehoon for nine years, and keiju, donghyeon, and minje for three years. they have spent a significant amount of time as JYP trainees to build up their skills.
the thoughts of the ‘ten-year trainee’ gyehun stood out in particular. kyehoon said, ‘thanks to the long time i spent as a trainee, i was able to practice intensely and reflect deeply on things. that time was absolutely necessary for me, and i will slowly show everything i've learned over those years.’
upon looking back on his ten years as a trainee, he added, ‘the most memorable moment for me was when the seven of us heard our team name kickflip for the first time. that's when it hit me that my debut was truly beginning. i felt an overwhelming rush of emotions.’
gyehun also revealed, ‘park jinyoung pd-nim praised us during our debut preparations, telling us that we've got a song that will hit big in kpop. it's such an honor, and i want to continue showing him our best.’
donghyeon then said, ‘just the fact that we're debuting under JYP is something i'm proud and thankful for. we won't lose our original passion and continue to deliver our own positive and bright energy moving forward, so please keep an eye on us.’
donghwa added, ‘i want to become an artist who's still able to have a positive influence even five or ten years from now. in order to do that, our goal is to keep this team going for a long time.’

an article of #KickFlip mentioning their JYPE seniors has been uploaded! 🩶
“young k, who has written countless of hit songs for day6, contributed to warriors as the sole lyricist, enhancing the quality of the song. keiju said, ‘first of all, it was such an honor to work with young k sunbaenim.’
minje added, ‘young k sunbaenim was present during our recording session and gave us advice. he said that teams with carefree maknaes tend to last the longest.’ day6 has also maintained a close bond with their maknae, dowoon. minje continued, ‘we already look out for our maknae and build a fun atmosphere for him, so i think it would be great to continue this kind of dynamic in the future.’
the maknae donghyeon, born in 2007, said, ‘i took those words to heart. the hyungs already try so hard to make everything easier for me, so i'm living really happily.’
juwang added, ‘young k sunbaenim and our other JYPE sunbaenims gave us advice. stray kids changbin and i.n sunbaenims also said that for a group to last seven or ten years, it's essential to have good teamwork and to [only] argue to the extent of reconciliation.’”

donghwa was resting on the floor so minje told him to sit on him and juwang's laps and it turned into a skit 😂
donghwa: you can see that this is the kingdom i made, everyone.
minje: i'm sorry, but you have to talk to donghwa through us.
kickflip perhaps thinking of chemi names 😇😈
donghwa: [him and kyehoon] demonz!
kyehoon: why are we demonz?
donghwa: i don't know, they call us that.
minje: [him and donghyeon] angelz~
donghyeon: angelz~ wait, hyung's not an angel.
gyehun teasing minje after his solo skateboard scene is so cute 😂
minje: originally, i didn't ride skateboards that well. i thought it would be a good chance to ride it and practice it.
gyehun: have you not thought about practicing before coming? i guess you didn't.
minje: 🙂
