iKON’s BOBBY, “I made friends in America by teaching them how to play the game of slap-match”10/20/2015 [OSEN=박소영 기자] iKON’s member BOBBY showed his self-confidence in the game of slap-match. In V-APP live-broadcasting “WELCOME BACK 2nd GAME” aired on the 18 this month at 11pm, iKON played the game of slap-match. Member JU-NE and BOBBY competed in the match, playing the game passionately. However, it was harder to actually flip over the paper tags than expected. Looking at BOBBY being clumsy at the game, the members said, “You’re bad because you had lived in America”. Then, BOBBY made the viewers of the show burst into laughter, by answering “No, that’s not true. I made friends by asking American kids ‘Do you know the game of slap-match?” The game of slap-match was the second round of match between iKON members, following the first match of “perfect pitch” between the team’s leader B.I and youngest member CHANWOO, which was aired on the 4 this month. JU-NE and BOBBY played the game of slap-match, while YUNHYEONG and B.I worked as MCs and DONGHYUK as a cheer leader. In “WELCOME BACK GAME”, iKON members compete with other members by playing a variety of games, to select the final winner. Fans are able to see the members’ go-ahead attitude and a new appeal different from the strong charisma they show on the stage, in “WELCOME BACK GAME” series. iKON will broadcast “WELCOME BACK” series on V-APP during this and the next month. 2015. 10. 19. © YG LIFE [OSEN=정준화 기자] iKON put on a phenomenal stage for their single “RHYTHM TA”.
On October 18, iKON sang the title track of their album “RHYTHM TA” on SBS’s Inkigayo. They owned the stage with their unique energy and charisma. They played around with the strong beat and gave a powerful performance. Meanwhile, Kyuhyun, Taeyun, iKON, BTOB, GOT7, Ailee, Lovelyz, Homme, Oh My Girl, Park Bo Ram, Stephanie, UP10TION, Yoo Sung Eun, Melody Day, 2BiC, and BIGFLO appeared on Inkigayo on October 18. 2015. 10. 18. © YG LIFE iKON was hot, hot, hot in their promotional video for YG Entertainment’s fashion brand ’NONAGON’. So of course we want to get a closer look at the CF!
YG Entertainment has released the bts video of iKON on their YouTube channel, and it’s short and sweet, giving us another flash of abs and close ups on the members and ‘NONAGON’ clothing wear. Check it out above and enjoy! © ALLKPOP [OSEN=최나영 기자] One of the biggest strengths of YG Entertainment (“YG”) is the solid talent of its rappers. That is maybe because the root of YG’s musical identity is hip-hop. YG’s hip-hop rappers stand out more than rappers of other major music labels, which has contributed to the evolution of idol groups’ skills and talent into the next level. The rappers of boy group BIGBANG, WINNER, and iKON show off their appeals both individually and in a team. While boasting strong presence as solo rappers, they make totally different pictures with the synergy created in combination with other members. iKON’s BOBBY is recognized as a “natural-born rapper”. Some say that he is somewhat weak in terms of delivery, but many people acknowledged him as the winner of “Show Me the Money 3”, because they recognized BOBBY’s uniqueness. It is not just about his husky voice. He creates fantastic performances as if he is “crazy”, putting a lot of power in the lyrics and comfortably playing with beat. His habit of spitting out the filler “mm…” some times during performance is now like his signature. Adding to the already strong rapper group of YG, Rapper “1” who showed a big presence in “Show Me the Money 4” has recently joined YG, raising fans’ expectations. “1” catches the eyes first with his good look, and people paid keen attention to his more-than-expected rapping skills, that is much more than his good look. When he nurtures and polishes his skills a little bit further, people may be able to see the rise of a next-generation top rapper. In “Show Me the Money” he co-performed with SONG MIN HO for “Turtle Ship”. YG rappers stand out most in terms of performance. That is something already recognized by other labels and underground rappers. The biggest reason for BOBBY’s victory in “Show Me the Money 3” was also his strong presence on the stage backed up by such good performance. So, YG rappers do not necessarily need “hook”. Just like their beat well-structured with different moods and feels, the different combinations of YG rappers make fans look forward to them.
