KickFlip’s comeback is split across two main dates. On September 28, 2026, the group releases the music video for “미완성 (Puzzle Piece)”, the first of two title tracks. On October 6 at 6 p.m. KST, the fifth mini album “KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1” arrives together with the music video for the second title track, “Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)”. For readers following Brasília time, 6 p.m. in South Korea corresponds to 6 a.m. on the same date.
This split matters because September 28 is not the release date of the full mini album. Sources reproducing the comeback schedule describe “Puzzle Piece” as a pre-release of the first title track, while the eight-track album arrives on October 6. The calendar therefore separates the musical preview, the music video and the album release without turning promotional steps into releases that have not been confirmed.
Confirmed comeback calendar
| Step | Date | KST | Brasília time | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-release of the 1st title track | 09/28/2026 | 6 p.m. | 6 a.m. | Music video for “미완성 (Puzzle Piece)” |
| Mini album release | 10/06/2026 | 6 p.m. | 6 a.m. | “KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1”, with eight tracks |
| Music video for the 2nd title track | 10/06/2026 | 6 p.m. | 6 a.m. | “Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)” |
KST is 12 hours ahead of Brasília during this period. The 6 p.m. KST time for September 28 appears in comeback calendars that cite KickFlip’s official channels as their source; the schedule reported by Soompi confirms September 28 for the first music video and sets October 6 at 6 p.m. KST for the second music video and the album.
The two title tracks and the role of each release
| Title track | Role in the schedule | Date | KST | Brasília |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 미완성 (Puzzle Piece) | First title track, presented before the full album | 09/28 | 6 p.m. | 6 a.m. |
| Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior) | Second title track, released with the mini album | 10/06 | 6 p.m. | 6 a.m. |
The most useful distinction for anyone planning to follow the comeback is not to call September 28 the “album release.” That date centers on the music video and the pre-release connected to “Puzzle Piece.” The release of “KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1” is scheduled for October 6. There is also no reason to describe “Puzzle Piece” as a separate physical single or a standalone package unless that is explicitly confirmed by official sources.
“KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1” tracklist
The tracklist was unveiled on September 8 and contains eight songs:
- 미완성 (Puzzle Piece) title
- Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior) title
- 0 (Young)
- 휘청 (Rockin’)
- hate blueberry
- Drop In
- 우리 같이 청춘을 낭비해 (Waste It All With You)
- Kick Off The Wall
The list contains two entries built around the name “Kick Off The Wall”: track 2 credits iann dior and is marked as a title track, while track 8 appears without a featured artist. Because the published material does not require interpretation beyond what is written, the safest approach is to treat them as two distinct tracklist entries until JYP explains any version differences.
What has already been published in the campaign
The comeback schedule was introduced on September 7. The campaign then moved on to the tracklist on September 8, individual photos on September 9, group and unit images on September 10, and “Puzzle Piece” concept films on September 11. Soompi recorded a music video teaser on September 21 and individual teasers on the following days, including updates dated September 22 and 23 KST.
This sequence shows that promotion is already underway, but it does not justify filling gaps with dates that have not appeared in the schedule or official channels. KickFlip’s first tour, “KICK OFF THE WALL,” has also been announced, but the initial sources do not provide a complete list of cities and dates. Separately, Korea JoongAng Daily reported, based on JYP’s teaser, a pop-up running from October 9 through October 18.
How to follow the comeback without mixing up teasers, pre-release and album
- Teaser: promotional material released before a song or album, such as photos, concept films and music video previews.
- Pre-release: “Puzzle Piece” arrives before the mini album and serves as the first title track presented to the public.
- Album release: “KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1” is scheduled for October 6, together with the music video for the second title track.
For updates, the best starting points are KickFlip’s official JYP Entertainment site and the group’s official social channels. The Soompi page has been updated as new teasers are released. The tracklist and context for the two main songs also appear in StarNews, while Korea JoongAng Daily records the mini album, tour and pop-up announcements.
Quick recap
Anyone following only the central releases needs to remember two dates: September 28 at 6 p.m. KST, or 6 a.m. in Brasília, for “Puzzle Piece”; and October 6 at 6 p.m. KST, or 6 a.m. in Brasília, for the mini album “KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1” and the music video for “Kick Off The Wall (Feat. iann dior)”. Until more official information is published, additional steps should be treated as confirmed only when they appear through KickFlip or JYP channels.
