In a major move that has K-pop fans buzzing with anticipation, STARSHIP Entertainment has officially announced the debut date for its newest boy group, IDID.
Following their journey through the agency’s intense survival show Debut’s Plan, the seven-member group is now set to launch their careers with a powerful first mini album titled “I did it,” scheduled for official release on September 15, 2025.
This marks a significant moment not only for the members of IDID but also for STARSHIP Entertainment, as this is the agency’s first new boy group since the successful debut of CRAVITY in 2020.
Given STARSHIP’s reputation for producing successful acts such as MONSTA X, WJSN, and IVE, expectations are understandably sky-high for this next generation of idols.
From Trainees to Idols: The Journey Through “Debut’s Plan”
IDID was formed through STARSHIP’s high-stakes survival program Debut’s Plan, which aired earlier this year and featured a group of promising trainees competing for a spot in the final lineup.
The show allowed viewers to witness the growth, passion, and talents of each contestant, ultimately ending with the selection of seven standout performers who would make up IDID.
The final group consists of Jang Yong Hoon, Kim Min Jae, Park Won Bin, Chu Yoo Chan, Park Seong Hyeon, Baek Jun Hyuk, and Jeong Se Min.
Each member brings a unique charm and skill set to the group—ranging from powerful vocals and rap to sharp dance abilities and charismatic visuals.
Together, they form a balanced and dynamic team that is already generating interest for their synergy and professionalism, even before their official debut.
otably, Park Jun Hwan, who was initially included in the group, departed in early June 2025.
STARSHIP announced his exit due to personal reasons, and the current seven-member configuration has since moved forward with a strong sense of unity and purpose.
Countdown to Debut: Pre-Debut Promotions Begin
As part of their promotional rollout, STARSHIP released an official teaser schedule for IDID.
The group will begin their pre-debut activities on July 24, 2025, at 6 p.m. KST with a concept teaser titled “What did you do yesterday? | Flashback.”
Accompanying this announcement were stunning concept photos that offered a first glimpse into the visual identity of IDID—highlighting both a nostalgic and modern aesthetic that left fans eager for more.
The teaser and imagery were shared via their official SNS accounts, notably @IDID_starship on Twitter (X), where they’ve been steadily building a following since the conclusion of Debut’s Plan.
The group’s name—IDID—appears to reflect themes of achievement, determination, and self-empowerment, all of which are likely to be explored in their debut album.
First Mini Album: “I did it”
IDID’s debut mini album, titled “I did it,” symbolically reflects the group’s perseverance and hard-earned success.
Though details on the tracklist are still under wraps, fans are speculating that the album will showcase a variety of genres and performance styles, introducing the public to each member’s individual strengths while establishing a group identity that can stand out in the increasingly competitive K-pop landscape.
Given STARSHIP’s strong track record in crafting high-concept debuts with strong production quality and amazing storytelling, fans can expect a full-scale debut that goes beyond music—complete with stunning visuals, tight choreography, and engaging promotional content across platforms.
The Hype and Fan Anticipation
Ever since Debut’s Plan concluded, online communities and K-pop forums have been buzzing with discussions about IDID’s potential.
The group has already started to amass a dedicated fanbase eager to support them from the very beginning of their career.
Even before releasing music, IDID has been included in discussions about “rookies to watch in 2025,” thanks to their strong pre-debut presence and buzz from their reality show origins.
Their pre-debut teaser on July 24 is expected to offer fans a taste of their musical direction, concept style, and group dynamic, acting as a soft launch before their full-scale debut in September.
With more promotional content, music video teasers, and likely music show appearances on the horizon, IDID is on track to make a strong entrance into the K-pop scene.
Looking Ahead
The journey from trainees to debuting idols is a long and demanding one, but IDID seems well-prepared to take the next step.
As the countdown begins, excitement continues to build not only for the group’s debut album “I did it” but also for the mark they’re likely to leave on K-pop in the years to come.
Fans around the world are encouraged to keep an eye out for their pre-debut release on July 24 and to gear up for a powerful official debut on September 15.
