History
Formation through Loud
KickFlip, alongside The New Six, were formed through the SBS K-pop reality competition program Loud, hosted by JYP Entertainment and P Nation. Loud premiered in June 2021 and ran till September, where Kyehoon, Keiju, Amaru, Lee Donghyeon and Yoon Min were selected as the members of JYP's new boy group. However, in April 2023, Yoon Min launched a personal Instagram account, seemingly confirming his departure from JYP Entertainment and its upcoming boy group. He later participated in Mnet's reality show Vocal Showdown in October 2023.

Why this record matters
The phrase “south Korean boy band” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131722593. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2021 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
