KickFlip Win a Third Music Bank Trophy With a Triple Crown, and Meet "Hwanghwang Hyung" Backstage

When first place on Music Bank was announced, the members of KickFlip were stunned to learn it was their third win. "Three firsts in a row," they said, celebrating a triple crown. The group's win came on the stage of the National Museum of Korea, and a video the group released shows the members sharing the joy of the moment against the museum's scenery.

An impromptu challenge and a hint of what is next

The video also captured an unexpected meeting. One member said he ran into "Hwanghwang Hyung" at the venue and shot a challenge video with him on the spot, raising anticipation for footage to be released later. The members showed warmth toward the fellow artist and conveyed how enjoyable the atmosphere was.

KickFlip said it intends to keep the momentum of this promotion going. "We will show more intense performances and bolder outfits," the members said of their next stage. Enjoying the triple crown, they ended their greetings to fans with a promise: "We will keep working hard."

Tears, jokes and thanks to senior singers

The announcement brought out varied reactions. One member, giving his thoughts on the win, could not hide his nerves, while another was moved to tears.

The banter continued too. One member's story that he had a habit of emphasizing his abs since his trainee days, along with jokes about how they look on stage, lifted the mood. The members also repeatedly thanked the senior singers they met at the venue for their help and consideration.

Celadon cardigans and a double title track in the sunshine

The location set this stage apart. At the National Museum of Korea, the members wore outfits made to suit the museum's atmosphere, including cardigans modeled on Goryeo celadon and clothes that reinterpret hanbok in a modern way. They waited in an outdoor tent used as a waiting room, and said the museum's beautiful views and good weather helped them relax as they prepared.

The performance featured both songs of the group's double title track. The members delivered both stages. Strong sunlight made the rehearsal difficult, but by the time of the actual performance the weather had improved, and they finished in what they described as a perfect atmosphere.
