B.I pour le magazine
It’s official, the artist KIM HANBIN is back this month with not one but two projects!
On his Instagram account, the young man shared in a story of a few seconds, the dates of his single and his first album as a solo artist.
For the moment, these are the only information that the artist has given to delight his loyal fans who have all responded on the post that preceded the announcement. We can see KIM HANBIN working on what could be the tracks that await us in his next album, without giving us too many clues.
Within 24 hours, the short video posted on his IG has reached one million views and nearly 80,000 comments.
What fans also remember is the fact that the artist expresses himself in English. Would it be possible to have foreign collaborations in his future album? This will be discovered.
Having been able to keep his artist name, KIM HANBIN appears under his pseudonym B.I. He had remained discreet when he left the group IKON and the company YG ENTERTAINMENT after accusations were spread about him.
The artist appeared a few months later after signing with the agency 131 Label, making a successful collaboration with the mythical group EPIK HIGH that signed its tenth album.
It was in March that we had real information on the solo life of B.I., his label having let the fans discover the talents of dancing and then three tracks that were part of a single donation project for the Christian association World Vision. The earnings, nearly 200M won, were destined for children around the world. The children’s cause is a subject that is close to the artist’s heart, having already made multiple donations, both financial and material, to children’s associations.
On April 15, 2021, the fans could discover the name of their fandom (the name of their fanclub), bearing this symbolic name: “ID” (To understand, IDENTITY). The label had announced it on Twitter, giving the following explanation:
« ‘ID (BE IDENTITY/아이디)’ is a name for people that completes B.I’s identity. It means that B.I and ‘ID’ sharing each other’s feeling and growing together so that we together can build our new identity.
Be B.I’s ‘ID’ so that we can draw our future together. »
[Dear. ID]
