iKON on Red Carpet

iKON performing My Type and Rhythm Ta (Rock Version)

My Type and Rhythm Ta Fan Cam (the chants)

Shinyoung asking iKON to go on Show Champion and congratulating them

KONICs were sure of their victory from the chanting to this banner. iKON kept waving to the fans with the banner apparently.




I cannot explain how happy I was when they hit the red carpet and they all looked good. The audience all chanting iKON before they were announced was so awesome. Also Seungyoon glomping Hanbin and giving me #Leaderline #WinKON feels LOL. The kids doing an offstage intro and using both stages with multiple stage changes/directions was pretty awesome too. If only they could have fit in a dance break...

Congraaats IKON bb! whatever, they deserved it
I'll love BI forever solely for mentioning 2NE1 in his thankyou speech


I love this rock version of rhythm tha
And lol at Jinhwan vs stage light, thank God nothing serious happen

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!! When I heard 2NE1 mentioned I was like 'bless ur lil soul BI I think I can love u agen'

[samii3104.livejournal.com]

Indeed, B.I. is a gentleman for mentioning them.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

gfriend won too, there were two categories for male and female

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

GFriend won tho.......

Seventeen's songs were nowhere on the charts and MMA's is digital?????

*Edited for clarity*

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

So...you know nothing about the show or criteria but immediately say other people should win. It says Best MALE. Girlfriend won for Best Female and Seventeen did not chart.

The criteria was 70% digital sales and 30% voting...Seventeen unfortunately does not meet any of the criteria to win.

It is even more unfortunate they didn't go to perform because MonstaX lost the rookie award but Melon gave them a different one for performance.

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

congrats to them, i was getting flashbacks of win: who is next while watching

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i actually thought it would go to just one group, but i'm glad they split it for female and male (although i wonder what about soloists?). congrats to both ikon and gfriend, they deserve it! i'm glad the styling was good, hanbin looked hot

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

but it's called best new male/female ARTIST

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

Good job with the live band. it makes everything better.rhythm ta perf is just sooo good. and yunhyeong sounds so good he deserves more line.

ot12 moment was cute. love seeing them interacting with winner. and also spying some blue lightsticks, are those winner's?

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Yunhyeong sounds super good, I was so proud of him!

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

Congrats to my boys they've worked so hard and their achievements speak for themselves, it was extremely well deserved. Congrats to GFriend too, I'm so happy they won too....


They looked so scared and awkward but it's ok....Poor 13cm Fairy tho...thank God nothing serious happened.

Half of the mics weren't working during their performance and sound system was so off wtf MMA I expect this from mnet and MAMAs not y'all. The boys handled it as pros, Yunhyeong even gave his working mic to Bobby cause he's a rapper and has more lines so he was basically lipsyncing to the back up track.

I loved the remix tho and their professionalism and charisma on stage was A+ and k iKONICs really did represent.

Boys were so excited during BigBang's performance it was so endearing to watch and I loved how they thanked BB, 2ne1, Winner and YGE.

Not gonna lie WinKon moment was really precious.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

what yunhyeong is lipsync it? lol i was suspicious that he sounds too good, but i rewatched and i thought he just improved. where/when did he give his mic to bobby?

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

congrats to ikon! so cute seeing winner and ikon on stage together. winner looks so good :)

[oxfordowls1.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!!!! the boys all look so good (esp B.i) ngl i laughed when jinhwan fell

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Dude...the fandom had the Jinhwan gif circulating with memes on Twitter in like 5 minutes

[misswaldorf.livejournal.com]

Yay congrats!!

Winner and iKon are so adorbs together <33
Poor tiny hyung lol humiliated in one of the most important stage of his career.
Also Hanbin look fineee. I did not just said that.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Well deserved.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

People should at least inform themselves better about these awards' criteria. Like I love Seventeen too but no way in hell they were going to win when they barely cracked top 100 on melon.

[bmo.livejournal.com]

but.. mansae peaked at #47 LOL they didn't that bad i mean im not saying they deserved to win the rookie MMA but they made it to the top 50.

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

it's like a push and pull with ikon and me. one moment i'm just cheering them on way back in the distance and the next moment they perform a rock version of 'rhythm ta' and absolutely slay me (and they make me use words that i don't really like to use like slay). i almost gathered my whole live during that performance.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

Nawwwww I'm so devo I couldn't hear Yun singing the rock version of RT, I feel like he has a good voice for rock :'(

But congratz to the boys, I loved seeing the Winner and IKON interactions it's been too long :')

Also YAS BI U MENTION 2NE1 AND ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTENCE SO YG GETS OFF HIS ASS AND DOES SMTH

Ah 2NE1...when he mentioned them...so cute.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I feel like the hiatus is because of Bom because originally YG and SBS were like "NAH...KEEP PROMOTING." She is sensitive and the public reaction probably really hurt her.

BUT I feel like 2NE1 is coming...CL and 2NE1's family members liking IG posts, CL and YG posting 2NE1 pics on IG, and Bom being seen at the building...

Honestly 2NE1 doesn't have to come back...they've made enough that is Bom doesn't want to deal with the BS she'll be put through they could stop. I just hope the time away has given Bom the strength to come back.

Upon further consideration I think his mic might have still been alive

Bobby is so extra

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

RE: Bobby is so extra

[liarose.livejournal.com]

Lol Bobby was in his own world~~
And of course June would sing along seungri's part

[samii3104.livejournal.com]

D'aww this is why Jinhwan is quickly becoming my bias. Little pocket hyung.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

YASSS CONGRATULATIONS BBS, VERY WELL DESERVED

Their performance was great as expected, smh at the malfunctioning sound system tho

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Jinhwan was hilarious, I enjoyed his stumble a little too much lol

This performance is starting to make me an iKon fan when all I want to care about is how good Yunhyeong looked and sounded.

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

jinhwan's fall made me laugh out loud while streaming

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I lost it when the car door opened and Bobby got out. Like damn.. And then I lost it again when I saw all of them walking the red catwalk. Jinny's stumble brought me back to reality only to be slayed by Rhythm Ta.

Bless the new stylists!
