iKon (Korean: 아이콘), stylized as iKON, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2015 by YG Entertainment. The lineup consists of six members: Jay, Song, Bobby, DK, Ju-ne and Chan. Originally a seven-piece band, leader B.I departed from the group in June 2019.

Initially introduced in the reality survival show WIN: Who is Next as "Team B", the group went on to appear in the 2014 reality survival show Mix & Match, which determined the final members of iKon. Their debut studio album Welcome Back (2015) debuted atop the South Korean Gaon Album Chart and featured the number-one singles "My Type", "Apology" and "Dumb & Dumber", as well as the top-ten singles "Rhythm Ta", "Airplane" and "Anthem". The album was a commercial success, selling over 260,000 copies in Asia, and its tracks collectively sold over 4.8 million copies, leading the group to receive numerous accolades from major Asian music award shows.

From 2016 to 2017, iKon released the singles "#WYD" and "New Kids: Begin" and embarked on their first Asian tour and several Japanese tours. In 2018, their second studio album Return spawned the number-one single "Love Scenario", which topped the Gaon Digital Chart for a record-breaking six weeks. Their third EP, I Decide, was released on February 6, 2020. Their fourth EP, Flashback (2022), set a new personal record for highest one-day and one-week sales.

iKon departed YG Entertainment in December 2022, following the expiration of their contracts with the agency,[1] and signed with 143 Entertainment.[2] The group is scheduled to release their third studio album Take Off in May 2023.

History

2013–2014: Pre-debut and formation

Prior to the group's formation, group leader B.I featured on MC Mong's 2009 song "Indian Boy". He performed with MC Mong at the 2009 SBS Dream Concert, as well as on You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook. Vocalist Ju-ne, under his initial stage name Junhoe, made a pre-debut appearance aged thirteen on the SBS variety show Star King. He also competed on SBS' K-pop Star in 2011.[3][4] On January 3, 2011, B.I and Jay (under his given name Jinhwan) joined YG Entertainment as trainees, followed by Bobby one week later. The trio trained together for one year and formed the basis of what became Team B. On April 18, 2012, Junhoe and Song (under his given name Yunhyeong) joined Team B. DK (under his given name Donghyuk) was the sixth member to join, on November 5, 2012.[citation needed]

In 2013, the six members participated as Team B on the Mnet reality survival show WIN: Who Is Next, competing against other trainees in Team A for the chance to debut as a group. The program involved three rounds of performances and public voting, with Team B eventually losing to Team A, who went on to debut as Winner.[5] During the program, Team B released two singles: "Just Another Boy" and "Climax". The members subsequently appeared as backup dancers in Taeyang's music video for "Ringa Linga".[6]

In June 2014, Team B appeared in the reality survival program Mix & Match, a follow-up to WIN: Who Is Next to determine the final lineup of the boy group iKon. YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun-suk stated that the group's name was derived from the goal to become an "icon for Korea", hence the "K".[5] While Bobby, B.I, and Jinhwan were pre-confirmed members, the remaining members of Team B competed against three new trainees: Jung Jin-hyeong; Yang Hong-seok; and Jung Chan-woo, who had previously appeared on Korean television as a child actor.[7][8] It was reported that 150,000 fans applied to attend the final performance of the show, and before the announcement of iKon's official lineup, YG Entertainment's blog server crashed. Ultimately, Junhoe, Donghyuk and Yunhyeong successfully retained their places in the lineup, with Chan-woo added as the group's final member.
