Two Title Tracks Tell One Story

The album carries two title tracks instead of one. “Miwanseong (Puzzle Piece)” is an all-Korean track. “Kick Off The Wall” features American artist iann dior. The album also closes with a KickFlip-only version of “Kick Off The Wall,” without the feature verse.

Where the Members Contributed

KickFlip members hold writing or composition credits across every track on the album. Members Kyehoon and Donghwa are both credited on material connected to the two title songs, according to STARNEWS.

Why the iann dior Feature Matters Globally

iann dior features on “Kick Off The Wall,” the album’s second title track. He previously appeared on 24kGoldn’s “Mood,” a single that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His presence on KickFlip’s album gives the release a direct connection to the U.S. charts, even without a confirmed North American tour date yet.

Music-Show Schedule and Official Videos

KickFlip lined up four consecutive music-show appearances following the release.
