The group, consisting of JANG YONGHOON, KIM MINJAE, PARK WONBIN, CHU YOOCHAN, PARK SEONGHYEON, BAEK JUNHYUK and JEONG SEMIN, is Starship Entertainment’s first boy group in about five years. The group name, short for “I did it”, reflects their determination to accomplish anything through hard work. 

'STEP IT UP' showcases IDID’s fearless journey in forging their own path with outspokenness and a free-spirited attitude, marking a first confident step for this rookie act aiming high. The bright yet weighty rap, set against a heavy 808 bass and hard-hitting track, radiates fierce energy that highlights how IDID “steps it up” on stage in their own unique way. It was co-written by Dem Jointz – who has previously worked with pop stars like Dr. Dre and Eminem, as well as K-pop artists Jennie (“ExtraL”), aespa (“Supernova”), and NCT 127 (“Cherry Bomb” and “Kick It”) – alongside other internationally acclaimed producers. 

The song not only illuminates the septet’s empowered sense of freedom shaped by a self-directed attitude, but also their musical identity rooted in the high-teen hip-hop genre. IDID pursues romance and novelty with a youthful, liberated spirit, while creating a refreshing contrast by marrying familiarity and freshness – all grounded in classic K-pop performance. At the heart of the group lies the keyword “#ClassicHip,” a dynamic interplay of refined, weighty hip-hop, the emotional depth of youth and empowered freedom. 

IDID is composed of the winners from Starship Entertainment’s ambitious debut project ‘Debut’s Plan,' which aired earlier this year and gained significant popularity. Shortly after the project, IDID performed ‘Blooming CROWN’ on Korean music shows – a track featured in ‘Debut’s Plan’ that conveys a message of turning hardships into stepping stones for growth, ultimately allowing their dreams to blossom. The special stages, showcasing IDID’s already-polished performance skills, garnered positive reviews and signaled the emergence of a new performance-driven act. 

Ahead of their debut, IDID also joined the global K-culture fan platform Berriz to foster connections with fans around the world. Since then, the group has actively engaged with their growing global fanbase.  

IDID also drew attention for releasing their original YouTube content series, ‘Fly High! IDID!’ It showcases the members as they try out things they’ve wanted to do before debut and work toward goals they aim to achieve after debut. By highlighting each member’s unique personality and charm, ‘Fly High! IDID!’ has become a platform for fans to get to know the group on a deeper level.  

IDID is slated to make their official debut with their 1st EP “I did it.” on Sept. 15 and hold a debut showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul. In previous teaser content, IDID introduced a series of keywords hinting at their upcoming musical activity, including: “Ice,” “Blue,” “Sunglitter,” “Water,” “Goodvibes,” “Fresh,” and “Energy.” ‘STEP IT UP’ will also be featured in the “I did it” album.

THEBLACKLABEL’s flagship artist, JEON SOMI, makes her comeback after 11 months with her brand new single “EXTRA.” Putting aside her bubbly “high teen girl” image, JEON SOMI is taking on a more thought-provoking concept, marking a bold new step in her artistic journey. Watch HERE and listen HERE.

‘EXTRA’ is a dance track that captures the feeling of being just outside someone’s gaze – standing on the edge, watching from the sidelines. Personifying the feeling of being an extra in a movie – drifting through scenes without ever being fully seen – the track captures a sense of confusion and contradiction. JEON SOMI channels these complex emotions in ‘EXTRA’ through a polished new-disco sound, layered with a catchy hook, sleek melodies, and an infectious groove. With this release, she opens a new chapter – showcasing a deeper emotional range and a more refined sense of expression.

Set against a minimal yet striking soundscape, JEON SOMI’s effortlessly laid-back vocals heighten the track’s atmosphere. She portrays the moment of breaking free from the role of an extra – stepping forward and claiming the spotlight – with disarming honesty and assured confidence.

“EXTRA” is written by JEON SOMI, TEDDY and Vince along with 조윤경, 황유빈(XYXX), Alna Hofmeyr, Josh Allen and Shae Jacobs. The track is produced by VITALS and Shae Jacobs.

ALLDAY PROJECT emerges as a groundbreaking new act under THEBLACKLABEL, uniting a collective of highly anticipated multi-hyphenate artists who have already built strong reputations in rap, singing, choreography, and fashion. With a bold creative vision and genre-defying approach, the members of ALLDAY PROJECT are actively involved in the production of their music, visuals, and performances. The group has garnered widespread attention for challenging convention and holds the rare distinction of being one of the few co-ed groups in the modern era and the first under THEBLACKLABEL.

Founded by mega-producer Teddy Park (a.k.a. TEDDY), THEBLACKLABEL’s roster includes MEOVV, JEON SOMI, Vince, BIGBANG’s TAEYANG, and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ.

“FAMOUS” is a proper introduction to ALLDAY PROJECT that truly embodies the group’s attitude and identity. With witty lyrics that capture their confident, tongue-in-cheek ambition — as they say, “but we ain’t even famous” — the song channels each member’s unique persona and energy. Driven by a danceable beat built on heavy synth bass and edgy guitar riffs, the track layers dynamic rap flows and addictive hooks. “FAMOUS”was written by members TARZZAN, WOOCHAN and YOUNGSEO alongside TEDDY, Vince, Claudia Valentina, Zikai, Norib and produced by Jumpa, 24, Dominsuk and Vince.
