The story of iKON
(please take time to read)
It all started when these seven young boys sharing the same dream had to go through the hard process of being singers/idols. Their dreams started at a very young age, they gave up their studies, chose to be apart from their family and have to go through years of brutal trainings. iKON had to survive not one but two survival programs, WIN and M&M. In the first survival show they competed as Team B with the trainees in Team A. That's where "CLIMAX" was born, which represents their struggles and determination in the process. They end up losing the gruelling battle to Team A. Some blame themselves, loses hope and felt tired. Thankfully all six members of team B continued to train at YG and eventually passed through M&M, wherein the maknae Chanwoo was added. In the 2nd show, they have to go against each other, some felt afraid and sorry.
All those efforts, hardworks and determination came to success. September 15, 2015 they finally debuted. Received awards from Japan, China and Korea and even called a Monster Rookie. But, the struggles doesn't end there. Everyone seems to hate them, they were called rude, arrogant and misogynistic. People can't see that they're actually good people. 2017, iKON became people's laughing stocks, was called legendary flops and biggest failure of YG and etc. Korea slept on them, boycott on all goods sold by YGE, many left the fandom, it was torture for iKON and iKONics. iKON members became self-conscious and stressed.
And then 2018 came, iKON came back with a bang. The nation's song "Love Scenario" was born. It landed with a mega hit which everyone can sing along to, received super big achievements. iKON stand firm and snapped 2018, getting what they deserve, let it be love, awards and support. Now, it's 2019 and they're still flying. Let's be the mild wind that will help them fly even higher. Let's support and love them together forever.
