The JYP Entertainment rookies beat their "My First Kick" mark by more than 76,000 copies, while two members step back from promotions for health reasons.

KickFlip have posted their best first-week sales yet, selling 532,434 copies of their new mini album KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1 between October 6 and 12.
Hanteo Chart tallied the total, Soompi reports. The figure beats the group's previous first-week high of 456,167 copies, which April's My First Kick set.
The JYP Entertainment rookie boy group released the album on October 6 at 6 p.m. KST, 5 a.m. ET. The music video for "Kick Off The Wall," featuring American singer iann dior, dropped the same day. "Unfinished" is the album's other title track, making this the first KickFlip release with double title tracks since their debut.
The two songs were written as a pair. "Unfinished" turns its questions inward as it works through anxiety and worry. "Kick Off The Wall" supplies the answer, urging listeners to break through self-doubt and fear and keep going. The members worked on every track.
On release day the album opened at No. 1 on Hanteo's daily album chart, and every song entered the Bugs daily chart. It then topped Hanteo's weekly album chart for the second week of October, ahead of YESUNG's second full album and N.Flying's ninth mini album.
KickFlip took the comeback to M Countdown on October 8, Music Bank on October 9, Show! Music Core on October 10 and Inkigayo on October 11. Kyehoon and Donghwa will miss some of this week's promotions because of health issues, their agency said.
The group debuted in January 2025. This past January and February, they played 12 fan concert shows in five Korean cities on the "From KickFlip, To WeFlip" tour. Their April mini album also won them two music show trophies.
KickFlip are also part of the third performer lineup for D Awards 2027 in Paris, along with TXT, Yeonjun, KiiiKiii and IDID. It will be their third straight D Awards since debuting. The ceremony takes place at Plenitude Arena on January 15 and 16, 2027.
