STARSHIP Entertainment’s rookie boy group IDID has taken a major step in solidifying its relationship with its supporters by officially revealing the name of its fan club.
During a recent comeback showcase for their new digital single, “PUSH BACK,” the seven-member group announced that their fandom would be known as WITHID.
This formal designation is a vital tradition in K-Pop, creating a dedicated identity for the fans who have championed the group since their official debut just a few months ago in September 2025.
Revealed at the ‘PUSH BACK’ Showcase
The announcement of the official fan club name took place on November 20, 2025, during a showcase held to celebrate IDID’s first-ever comeback.
This strategic timing allowed the group to share the significant news with their most dedicated fans as they launched a new era of promotions.
The digital single “PUSH BACK,” which was also released that day, marks a confident return for the septet, who have already earned attention as representative rookies of 2025, even achieving a music show win just 12 days after their official debut.
The showcase was streamed live via IDID’s official YouTube channel, making the fandom reveal a global event.
The Meaning Behind WITHID
The chosen name, WITHID (pronounced like the English words “with” and the “-id” in “I did”), is a portmanteau designed to reflect the close bond between the artist and their fans.
The formal explanation provided by the group and their agency, STARSHIP Entertainment, defined WITHID as a combination of “With + idid.”
This translates to “A companion who is together with IDID, who walks IDID’s path together by IDID’s side.”
The name explicitly symbolizes mutual reliance, support, and the commitment of staying together for a long time, emphasizing the fans’ integral role as companions on IDID’s journey.
The Rookie’s Journey So Far
IDID, consisting of members Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Choo Yu-chan, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Joon-hyuk, and Jeong Se-min, were formed through the survival show Debut’s Plan and officially debuted on September 15, 2025.

Their debut mini-album, I Did It., showcased their blend of funk and hip-hop. The speed with which they have returned with their first digital single, “PUSH BACK,” only 67 days after their debut, highlights the agency’s strategy to keep the group active and prominent in the highly competitive K-Pop market.
Their rapid success was recognized with the IS Rising Star award at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA), proving they are quickly transforming into the “high-end rough diamonds” described by their label.
Celebrating the Fandom’s ‘Birthday’
The reveal was a celebrated moment during the showcase, which featured flawless live skills and sharp choreography from the group.
The members marked the occasion as the “first birthday” of WITHID with a commemorative cake and posed for a group photo with the attending fans.
This gesture underscores the importance of the fandom’s establishment, providing a unified identity as the group prepares for major promotional events, including an appearance at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS.
The establishment of WITHID now provides a banner under which fans can organize their support, cementing their role as crucial partners in the group’s continued growth and success.

The Story: Loss, Regret, and Reincarnation
“A Man’s Man” is adapted from a hit web novel by Lucas that was successfully adapted into a webtoon in 2020.
The source IP is a global success, boasting an immense following with 470 million cumulative global views.
The story centers on the life of Han Yu Hyeon (the role offered to Park Jeong Min). Han Yu Hyeon is portrayed as an ordinary office worker who relentlessly chases success, eventually rising to the position of a powerful CEO.
However, his singular pursuit of power leads him to lose everything he loves. The core plot device involves a fantasy element where he is granted a second chance, returning to his younger days to live his life over again and make different choices.
Director and Production Timeline
The drama is set to be helmed by director Kim Hie Won, who is rapidly building a reputation for high-quality production.
Kim Hie Won is known for helming the Disney+ original series “Light Shop” and is a highly respected figure in the drama world.
It is important to note that this director is a highly-acclaimed female director, whose notable works include Vincenzo and Little Women, demonstrating a strong ability to manage complex, character-driven narratives with high production value.
The convergence of a veteran actor like Park Jeong Min with such a visionary director suggests a project aiming for critical and commercial success. Furthermore, filming for “A Man’s Man” is currently slated to begin sometime in 2026.
Park Jeong Min’s Versatility and Fit
Park Jeong Min is a celebrated figure in the Korean entertainment industry, recognized for his exceptional versatility and ability to embody deeply complex characters.
He has garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards for his roles in films like Dongju: The Portrait of a Poet and Deliver Us from Evil.
His ability to portray everything from a tragic historical figure to a flamboyant supporting villain, as seen in Smugglers, makes him an ideal candidate for the emotionally heavy yet potentially action-packed role of Han Yu Hyeon.
His potential casting in a major web novel adaptation, especially one with a time-reversal fantasy element, is highly anticipated by fans eager to see him return to the small screen in a leading role.
