idntt Earns Second Music Bank Win for Kids Return

idntt added another milestone to the promotional run for “Kids Return”, taking first place on the July 24 episode of Music Bank and earning the song its second music show trophy.

The group won against i-dle’s “Gimme Dat Love”, finishing the broadcast with a total of 9,182 points. The result gives “Kids Return” a stronger footing in the current comeback cycle and signals that idntt’s latest release is continuing to find traction across the weekly music show circuit.

For K-pop acts, a second trophy can carry a different meaning from a first win. The first award confirms that a campaign has broken through; the second suggests the song is holding attention beyond the initial release window. In a crowded summer schedule, that kind of repeat recognition is valuable because groups are competing not only with new singles, but also with fan voting, broadcast scores, digital performance, album activity, and the fast turnover of weekly stages.

A Second Trophy For “Kids Return”

The July 24 result places idntt in a stronger conversation around this month’s active promotions. Music Bank remains one of the most visible weekly platforms for idol groups, and its trophy race often becomes a snapshot of which releases are converting performance clips, fandom organization, and public listening into measurable momentum.

“Kids Return” has now moved from being a current comeback track to one with a documented winning streak. That distinction can matter for newer or rising acts because music show wins become part of a group’s longer public record. They are referenced in future promotions, used in media framing, and remembered by fans as markers of a comeback’s peak.

The episode also reflected how competitive the K-pop calendar remains. Alongside idntt, the show featured performances by fromis_9, Hyolyn, J.Y. Park, Sunmi, TVXQ’s Yunho, Wonho, BBGIRLS, LOONA’s Yeojin, 8TURN, LUN8, Oh Yoojin, OURBIRTHDAY, VAYONN, DAILY:DIRECTION, HEART OF WOMAN, and AmbiO. That range put established soloists, veteran names, girl groups, boy groups, and newer performers into the same broadcast lineup.

A Broadcast Lineup Packed With Comebacks

fromis_9 performed “Vitamin ME”, while Hyolyn brought “ChecK” to the stage. J.Y. Park appeared with “WET”, Sunmi performed “Forever July”, Yunho delivered “Time’s Tickin’”, and Wonho staged “Don’t Wake Me Up!”. BBGIRLS continued promotions with “BODY WAVE”, and Yeojin performed “Red Hot Chili Summer.”

The younger and emerging side of the lineup was also broad. 8TURN performed “Stagefright”, LUN8 presented “SNEAKERS”, VAYONN performed “MUAH!”, DAILY:DIRECTION brought “DOWN WITH IT”, HEART OF WOMAN staged “TEA”, AmbiO performed “BLUE SPLASH”, OURBIRTHDAY appeared with “HUNGRY (Side A)”, and Oh Yoojin performed “What’s Up, Fox?”

Against that backdrop, idntt’s win stands out because weekly music shows compress the industry’s promotional pace into a single broadcast. Viewers see polished performances, fandoms mobilize around scoring, and artists use each appearance to sharpen the identity of a release. A trophy in that environment is not just a ceremonial moment; it is a sign that multiple parts of a promotion are working at once.

The second win also gives “Kids Return” more post-broadcast life. Clips of winner announcements and encore moments often circulate beyond the live audience, helping a song stay visible after the episode ends. For fans, those moments can become rallying points; for casual viewers, they can serve as a fresh reason to revisit the performance.

What The Win Means For idntt

idntt’s latest result suggests that the group has built enough support around “Kids Return” to compete across more than one week of music show activity. That matters in a market where new releases arrive constantly and attention can shift in days. Sustained recognition gives the group a firmer platform for follow-up stages, interviews, fan content, and future comeback expectations.

While the long-term impact of the song will depend on how promotions continue, the July 24 trophy gives idntt a clear headline moment. With two wins now attached to “Kids Return,” the group’s current era has gained a measurable achievement that can strengthen both fan confidence and public awareness.
