[Exclusive] YG, “iKON? Aiming to Debut Early Next Year”

YG’s executive producer YANG HYUN SUK refused to be interviewed as he was “too busy preparing for iKON’s debut.”
He added, “We are not looking back. We don’t even have time to prepare things for the future. Stay tuned for iKON.”


According to YG, YANG is devoting every second of his time for iKON’s debut album, except for filming SBS’s audition program “K-Pop Star.” He lets experienced artists like PSY, BIGBANG, 2NE1, and EPIK HIGH to do their own thing, and only gives them advice from time to time.

And now his radar is on iKON. In an interview, YANG once mentioned, “Since iKON has already tasted the bitterness of failure, they are more competitive and passionate. They do traditional hip-hop and they are perfectly equipped with the ability to produce songs.” This shows that he is not holding back on giving compliments. Thus it is only natural to have iKON as the front-runner of 2015, where artists like PSY, WINNER, new girl group and BIGBANG as a whole will be making a comeback.

In terms of iKON, they already secured a solid fan base through “MIX & MATCH” when they competed against WINNER. They also proved their amazing musical talents. BOBBY and B.I already appeared on “Show Me the Money 3” while also featuring in EPIK HIGH’s “BORN HATER.” Rising to stardom, for them, is nothing new.

Their popularity is borderless. Starting from Dec 15 and 16, iKON opened BIGBANG’s 5 Japan Dome Tour, being spotlighted by local fans and media.
