Starship teases next-gen boy group through youth drama "ImPerfect Game" — fans say "They can act too?!"

From raising Wonyoung & Yujin to crafting a K-drama-level debut?
Starship is not playing.

Their upcoming boy group "NewKids" just dropped a full-blown youth drama ImPerfect Game as part of their pre-debut project Debut's Plan — and it's serving visuals, vibes, and actual acting.

🏏 The plot:
Former baseball BFFs fall out, get hurt (literally), and reunite to chase glory at a high school championship. Along the way? Healing, growth, and enough emotional punches to make you forget this is an idol audition.

🎭 The cast:
Miyata Haru, Park Wonbin, Baek Junhyuk, Seokjun, Jang Kyuhyun, Jang Yonghoon, and Choo Yuchan — aka NewKids' core 7 — totally embodied their characters. And yes, fans are freaking out.

"Wait… this is just a debut eval?? This felt like a real K-drama."
"They're idols AND actors now??"
"The OSTs got me in my feels…"

🎵 Speaking of…
NewKids even sang three original OSTs:
✨ Battle Scar
✨ A Letter Turned Diary
✨ Stay in the Universe
Because of course they did. Vocals? ✔️ Emotions? ✔️ Looks? ✔️

👀 What's next?
Episode 6 drops April 18 — it's Teamwork Test time. The boys head to a camp and hit a few meltdowns (relatable), but also film their first team performance vid 👏

🗳️ Voting is open until April 17 @ 10am KST.
Vote 1x/day, pick your top 2 boys — choose wisely 😎
