Starship Entertainment's youngest group, IDID, has taken its first steps with warm advice from their senior artists.
IDID (comprising Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yoo-chan, Park Seong-hyeon, Baek Jun-hyuk, and Jeong Se-min) held a media showcase on the 15th at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their first mini-album, 'I did it.'
IDID is the first boy group Starship has introduced in five years, following a lineage of successful artists. Jang Yong-hoon expressed gratitude and excitement for the attention and expectations they are receiving. He stated, "I am thankful and thrilled for the interest and expectations. Like our seniors, I want to showcase our performance skills on big stages like world tours and international festivals. We will strive to meet those expectations."
Ahead of IDID's debut, senior artists from the agency, including MONSTA X, IVE, and CRAVITY, offered their advice. Park Won-bin shared, "Our seniors encouraged us with smiles whenever we met them at the company or on-site. During KCON in LA, MONSTA X seniors advised us to 'do our best.' Following their advice, we aim to become juniors worthy of their reputation."
Baek Jun-hyuk added, "CRAVITY seniors advised us that 'the stage is all about confidence, don't be afraid,' and IVE's Rei shared tips on gestures and stage manners that we can use during performances."
The group name IDID embodies the determination to achieve anything through effort. Their title track 'Brilliantly My Way' captures a free and energetic vibe, featuring a lively sound led by acoustic guitar and rhythmic drums, complemented by the members' refreshing vocals, showcasing IDID's youthful energy.
IDID's debut album 'I did it.' will be released on various online music platforms at 6 PM today.
