[Official] iKON for 25ans (JPN) Magazine
Group’s Interview:
Q - iKON who triumphed hardships of the programs, WIN and Mix & Match, plus much more trials, finally debuted. How does it feel when you think back at those times?
Jinhwan - It feels like as time goes on, our exasperation all goes away. I think we were all able to overcome those trials be cause we all did it together as a team.
Bobby - As you can see, all the members are bright. I think that even when 6 out of us 7 are feeling depressed, the bright one can easily spread the brightness.
Donghyuk - Right After WIN, we all went through some type of breakdown where we weren’t sure if were all going to be disbanded or not. We were all anxious, but us members helped each other out and we were able to overcome our trials. I think it was helpful and i’m grateful because Hanbin hyung said he will take all of us together without leaving one of us behind. Bobby and Jinhwan hyung also assured us we wouldn’t disband and for us to not worry.
Yunhyeong: After WIN, we all went to Jinhwan hyung’s hometown in Jeju. After all the hard programming and broadcasts, we were able to actually relax–so more so I’d say we were able to reset, and cleanse our thoughts.
Junhoe - Ever since the show ended, I reflected a lot on my personal lacking skills. I practiced myself a lot afterwards.
Q - In January, your first album got released in Japan and you have successfully ended a nationwide tour here.
Chanwoo: Thank you so much~! It was our first tour, and I didn’t realize this much people would love and support iKON.
Bobby: Because being on stage has been my dream for a long time, the fact that I was able to go on stage at all is a great pleasure. Even though I am busier and don’t have a lot of time to practice is now a concern, but it’s still a positive concern.
Q - The sales even for a debut album is great, but if you personally scored it yourself?
Bobby: First, I’m so happy that we debuted..so..80! If it’s low, then it’s sad. *laughs*
Yunhyeong: 100! It’s our first album, and we worked really hard on it to make it. I would like to give our second album above 100 hopefully.
B.I: 50, is that a harsh number? I guess it’s ‘cause our first album and we’re really new, so I personally say it’s lacking in quality. However I will score it 100 for effort, definitely. I would like to release a second album soon–this year– if possible. As far as plans? Mm..it’s a secret/surprise *laughs*. Anyway, for now, I want to greedily put in a lot of work and strength into everything, and as time will go by, I want to be a group respectively who would hear, “They’re great artists, iKON is truly the best!”
