New album released after 6 months, participation in all track production

KickFlip released the mini album 'KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1' through various digital music sites on October 6. This is their comeback approximately 6 months after the release of their 4th mini album 'My First Kick' last April. This album includes the double title songs 'Unfinished' and 'Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)'. The members participated in the production of all tracks in the album, including the two songs.

The two title songs are tracks presented under different names in the album. As of October 7, the music video for 'Unfinished' recorded approximately 14.2 million views on YouTube. The leader KYEHOON is credited with the lyrics and composition of this song. KYEHOON explained through the agency the thoughts he had while making the song and the feelings that led to the album title. He said, "While making 'Unfinished', I thought a lot about 'Where am I?' There is still much I don't know and much I have to build, so rather than a completed answer, I wanted to honestly contain my current thoughts. The mindset of 'let's just clash with it first' led to 'Kick Off The Wall'."

Bugs 1st and 2nd place, B-sides also enter the charts

On the digital music charts, the two title songs entered the upper ranks side-by-side on the day of release. As of the afternoon of October 6, 'Unfinished' recorded 1st place and 'Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)' recorded 2nd place on the Bugs real-time chart. KickFlip caused all the B-sides of the album to enter the chart, not just the title songs.

The album also rose to the top of the Hanteo Chart real-time album chart and the Circle Chart real-time retail album chart respectively. The views for the 'Unfinished' music video were tallied at approximately 14.2 million views as of October 7. The digital music chart rankings are as of the afternoon of October 6, and the music video views are as of the following day.

The questions and answers of the album conveyed by the members

The members introduced the thoughts contained in the new album in their own words. JUWANG emphasized the effort the members put into the album, saying, "A lot of effort went into by the members. I hope you enjoy and like 'KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1', which contains our concerns and answers." DONGHWA mentioned the feelings that came to mind while writing the lyrics for the album's B-sides. He stated, "I wrote the lyrics for 'Kick Off The Wall' with the mindset of breaking away from all molds. MINJE's part, 'I don't know about tomorrow, so I won't worry and just Go,' was a part that wouldn't be completed for a very long time. I worked on the lyrics with the mindset of 'let's just clash with it,' and it is the part I like the most."

MINJE spoke about the attitude contained in the new song, saying, "I want to keep asking questions and moving forward without settling for my current appearance. The answer seems to be a process of finding it by directly clashing and experiencing it. Please show interest in the new songs that contain our way." Kim Donghyun explained that he thought of the fans during the album production process. He said, "When I think of the question 'Am I doing well?', WeFlip (fandom name: WeFlip), who believes in us and supports us, comes to mind. It is an album we worked hard on while thinking of the fans." KEIJU added regarding the ambition in the new album, "The question 'Is the path we are taking correct?' contains the ambition that 'We make our own path'."
