KickFlip‘s ’My First Flip' Achieves 402,405 Sales: What This Means for K-Pop's Rising Stars

[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] Group KickFlip has earned its third consecutive Hanteo Chart first-week sales certification plaque.

KickFlip’s third mini album, My First Flip, released last September, recorded first-week sales of 402,405 copies on the Hanteo Chart, earning the Hanteo first-week certification plaque. The plaque formally recognizes artists whose first-week sales exceed Hanteo’s established thresholds based on the chart’s sales data.

After their debut album Flip It, Kick It! and second mini album Kick Out, Flip Now!, KickFlip reached a new career high with My First Flip, securing their third Hanteo first-week certification and reinforcing their ascent as K-pop “super rookies.”

Riding that momentum into the April 6 release of their fourth mini album, My First Kick, KickFlip posted additional concept photos to the group’s official social media channels at midnight on the 26th.

The photos capture the members—known for their flirting charm—practicing confessions, teasing the new album’s concept. Gyehun sticks a note that reads “I’ll serve you forever,” Donghwa promotes himself with a shopping bag that says “I’m very cute,” Ju-wang lounges on a red carpet with a bouquet, Minje holds a sign reading “I’m not interested in anyone but you,” KJ displays a poster asking “I really love you, do you too?” and Donghyun prepares a candlelit confession. Each image bursts with buoyant energy and commands attention.

In the group shots, the members switch from a playful pose in a T-shirt that reads “Come be by my side” to rooftop confession scenes that highlight each member’s distinct personality—bold, expressive moments that fuel fans’ excitement and curiosity.

The comeback title track, “I Want to Get on Your Nerves,” features lyrics and composition contributions from leader Gyehun and promises an effervescent message. The new mini album My First Kick includes seven tracks with member involvement: the title track “I Want to Get on Your Nerves,” “Twenty,” “Stup!d,” “Upside Down,” “Scroll,” “Roar,” and “My Direction.”

KickFlip’s fourth mini album My First Kick and its title track “I Want to Get on Your Nerves” will be available on streaming platforms at 6:00 PM on April 6.
