This marks Bobby’s return to the solo spotlight after approximately seven months since the release of his inaugural single album ‘S.i.R.’ under the banner of 143 Entertainment in March. His upcoming concert and album release are sure to captivate fans and continue to establish him as a prominent figure in the music industry.
Bobby Defends Former iKON Leader B.I.
The news comes soon after Bobby made himself heard on an issue that has beleaguered iKON since they moved to 143 Entertainment. The rapper pointed out that fans should stop pushing for OT6 vs OT7 and cease bothering the group’s former leader. In addition to that, he expressed his love for B.I., admitting that they have spoken since his departure.
In related news, it was confirmed by the Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) that a total of 13 trademarks associated with “iKON” have been officially transferred to its members. This remarkable development extends to Kim Jin Hwan (Jay), Song Yun Hyeong (Song), Kim Ji Won (Bobby), Kim Dong Hyuk (DK), Koo Jun Hoe (Ju-Ne), and Jung Chan Woo (Chan).
This significant achievement signifies that each member of iKON is now a proud owner of their group’s valuable trademarks, marking a historic moment in their artistic journey and underlining their autonomy in shaping their future endeavors.
