Group IKON gave us an impressive performance for the first episode of KINGDOM: LEGENDARY WAR, which aired this Thursday, April 1st, 2021.
« IKON IS BACK »
Arriving last in the pantheon of participating groups, it’s safe to say the boys were already causing a stir.
With seven years of experience in the industry, IKON is one of the most experienced in the show. They are no strangers to the concept, participating in their fourth survival show having appeared in « Win: Who is next », « MIX & MATCH » which marked their debut as a group and a Chinese program that was based on a dance competition.
However, for BOBBY, it is the fifth time that he participates in a survival show, having participated and won the show « SHOW ME THE MONEY », distinguishing himself from the other participants being the youngest to win in the third edition of this show.
The group knows the ups and downs of this kind of program where the nerves will be put to the test between each performance. But the boys seem to be quite serene, just wanting to enjoy learning from each other and getting better.
They were the most anticipated of the younger group, some of whom were still trainees when IKON started.
«I was a real fan of them. I watched all the Survival programs, and cried for them as well.
– CHANGBIN, STRAY KIDS. »
In their performance, the group immerses us in nostalgia with the track « Rhythm Ta » shaped in a new way, revealing then more rhythmic than the original with a punchy beginning. The choreography is precise and without a mistake.
The fans were delighted to discover or rediscover according to those who had been able to watch the introduction but not only them! The other groups who watched the performance were blown away.
IKON is definitely back and even though they came in casual, there is no question of being last. The boys are excited and can’t wait to show off the versatility that the group has.
