[Hanteo News = Reporter KANG SUYOUNG] idntt has returned as a 20-member group, signaling a new beginning.

 

idntt held a showcase at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall on the 13th to commemorate the release of its 3rd mini album 'itsnotover.' On this day, LEE KYUHYUK said, “We want to clearly show the synergy of the 20 of us so that many people can watch our stage and think it is cool.”

 

Regarding the album, KWAK KIWUNG introduced it by saying, “If 'unevermet' contained love about coincidence and 'yesweare' showed the bold side of saying, ‘We are youth,’ then 'itsnotover' carries the meaning of breathing spirit into youth that will not end.” LEE HWANHEE added, “Until now, we have shown a raw side learned more on the streets than in the classroom, but as we have returned with 20 members, we want to show our own identity through much more dynamic music.”

 

They also introduced the B-side tracks. Regarding the intro 'Twenty,' PARK NURI said, “I think we will be able to show our energy through explosive rock sounds and powerful melodies.” Regarding the title track 'Kids Return,' KIM DOHUN said, “It means that the boys have returned by joining forces, and it is a hip-hop sound track where you can feel the free-spiritedness that is true to idntt.” KIM SUNGJUN introduced 'Run It Up' as “a song that contains the rush and challenge of boys moving forward.”

 

LEE JUHEON explained 'Lovestruck' as “a song that portrays the confusion of the moment when one falls into uncontrollable love.” NAM JIUN said of 'Trainspotting,' “It is a song about beings who become more dangerous the more they break apart, and we tried to express the beauty, precariousness, and destructive charm of youth in one piece of music.” Regarding the itsnotover unit track 'It's Not Over,' CHO EUNCHAN said, “You can feel the emotions of boys like us on a transparent and brilliantly shining summer day,” while KIM EUNSUNG added, “When I first heard it, I immediately thought, ‘This is summer.’ It has a cool and refreshing atmosphere, and more than anything, it felt even more special because it is the first unit song performed by the five of us together.” YANG KYUNGHO introduced the final track 'Boys Gonna Dive' as “a song that contains the attitude of boys who are not afraid of wounds and failures and eventually rise again.”

 

When asked about the characteristics of a 20-member stage, NAM JIUN said confidently, “The sense of overwhelming scale is on another level,” while KIM DOHUN shared, “While preparing group choreography with 20 members, I became convinced that our overwhelming energy and group choreography could be seen as a major strength by many people, so I am really looking forward to the full-group stage.”

 

idntt, which debuted in August 2025, has built a unique identity as a “street culture idol” that freely combines hip-hop, trap, and EDM sounds. Since debut, the group recorded initial chodong sales of 336,152 copies with its 1st mini album 'unevermet,' then renewed its initial chodong sales record with 431,377 copies for its 2nd mini album 'yesweare.' Its growth was also recognized as it won the Blooming Star Award at the 33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025.
