Rising Stars Kickflip Showcase Their Variety Show Potential on Daesung's YouTube Channel

The rookie group Kickflip has broken away from their agency's static image, showcasing impressive variety show skills and witty banter, proving their potential as the next generation of variety show idols.

On Big Bang Daesung's YouTube channel 'Jipdaesung', a video titled 'Idols That Stand Out' was uploaded.

In the video, Kickflip members Lee Gye-hoon, Donghwa, Juwang, Minjae, KJ, and Donghyun appeared, exuding their unrestrained charm.

Host Daesung, upon witnessing Kickflip's overflowing energy, remarked on how JYP Entertainment traditionally struggled with variety shows, expressing his amazement at the generational shift. Lee Gye-hoon humorously responded, "Our team's intense desire and ambition to succeed is our driving force," bringing laughter to the set.

Kickflip particularly shocked Daesung with their exceptional fan service comments during interactions with fans. After reading Lee Gye-hoon's sweet messages on a fan communication platform, Daesung was taken aback, asking, "How do you come up with these ideas?" Lee Gye-hoon coolly replied, "I just wanted to stand out," cleverly promoting their new song 'Want to Stand Out'.

Donghwa also impressed by revealing his unique worldview and selfie-taking tips for situational acting. Lee Gye-hoon defined Donghwa's method as 'anxious type' while labeling himself as 'stable type', adding humor by establishing distinct character dynamics among the members.

The members continued to shine in practical flirting skits and games. During an impromptu line delivery against Daesung, Donghwa used a sticker on his chest for a bold line, earning recognition from the original master, Lee Gye-hoon.

During a candle-blowing game, the members unintentionally showcased slapstick comedy and performances, causing Daesung to laugh so hard he nearly fell to the floor, praising Kickflip's variety show skills as groundbreaking.
