Starship Entertainment's New Boy Group IDID Makes Their Debut with 'I Did It.'

Starship Entertainment's latest boy group, IDID, has officially stepped into the music scene.

IDID, consisting of members Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Chu Yoo-chan, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Joon-hyuk, and Jung Se-min, held a media showcase on the 15th at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their first mini-album, 'I Did It.' This marks Starship's first boy group debut in five years since Cravity.

Jang Yong-hoon expressed his excitement, saying, "It's an honor to debut after five years, following in the footsteps of our respected seniors. I've always dreamed of being on stage since deciding to become a singer, and I'm thrilled to finally debut." He added, "We will do our best to become a remarkable boy group under Starship, following our seniors."

IDID was formed through Starship's own survival program, 'Debut's Plan,' selecting seven talented members. Kim Min-jae shared, "This is a moment I've been eagerly waiting for. Throughout the debut project, I believed in 'I can do it' and 'I will debut.' We will show you how amazing our team can be."

As the first boy group from Starship in five years, following many renowned artists, IDID is receiving much attention and anticipation. Jang Yong-hoon expressed gratitude and excitement, saying, "We are thankful and excited for the interest and expectations. Like our seniors, we want to showcase our performance skills on big stages like world tours and international festivals. We will strive to meet those expectations."

Ahead of their debut, senior artists from the same agency, such as Monsta X, IVE, and Cravity, offered their advice. Park Won-bin mentioned, "Our seniors encouraged us with smiles whenever we met at the company or on-site. During KCON in LA, Monsta X seniors advised us to 'do our best.' We aim to become juniors worthy of our seniors' reputation." Baek Joon-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."

With other rookie boy groups like Cortis and Kickflip debuting this year, IDID was asked about their unique appeal. Park Sung-hyun responded, "Our biggest charm is showing something familiar yet new and fresh." He continued, "The average age of our group is 18. We want to become a unique group that combines the romance of this age with performance and hip-hop. We will showcase youthful energy."

Jang Yong-hoon added, "IDID's strength lies in enjoyment. Before our official debut, we experienced various stages through music shows and overseas performances. Through those experiences, we realized how enjoyable it is to connect with fans while dancing and singing on stage. Our strength is being able to convey that joy to the audience."

The group's role model is their future selves. Jang Yong-hoon stated, "We want to become a group that remains unforgettable even after a long time. We aim to grow into a group that symbolizes an era, like Coldplay or Bruno Mars." He also expressed a desire to participate in world tours and large-scale performances to enhance their stage capabilities.

The title track 'Brilliantly My Way' captures a free and energetic vibe, with an upbeat sound led by acoustic guitar and rhythmic drums, complemented by the members' refreshing vocals, showcasing IDID's bright and cool youthful energy.

IDID's debut album 'I Did It.' will be released on various online music platforms at 6 PM today.
