They are beyond adorable. They looked so surprised and thankful. /tears up/

I'm just grateful they look so happy and their styling is on point as well as their hair. I am worried for Donghyuk he lost too much weight in the past few weeks. Ahhhh my children when will I see you in Korea again.

Yeah, I watched their Christmas vlive the other night and they mentioned Donghyuk being sick, you can really see it in his face here. Poor guy. :(

He lost too much weight in a short span of time and for no reason at all. It pained me so much to see him look so pale and fragile. Especially since he's always such a cute ball of sunshine.

They can all speak Japanese and Chinese some are better at one some at the other. I think as a group they're better at Japanese but for example Chanwoo's Chinese is really good.

Also Bobby Donghyuk and Hanbin speak English well while the rest can speak and understand less.

It's mostly hard work. They studied languages before debut cause YGe was always aiming at trying other markets with all his groups but after debut they got the opportunity to be on a Chinese competition show where they had to cover songs in Chinese so they all studied hard Chanwoo especially. Japan was always a destination so they have to know it seeing how many concerts they have there and as far as English goes Yunhyeong has also been getting better but Bobby and Donghyuk are the best at it cause they both lived in the States for some time. As a group they're extremely hard working and seeing how they sadly don't have the chance to promote in Korea much they need to know the other languages well.

They haven't put out that much only 1 full album in Korea and Japan (they added some M&M songs for the Japanese album release and 3 new songs: Just Go, I Miss You So Bad and Love Me and out of the 3 only first two were have Korean versions and are included in the repackage) and WYD single this year. Their discography is considerably smaller compared to other rookies from 2015.

I'm biased so I'd recommend you catch up because they're adorable and have amazing group dynamics.

Ohhhh yeah they do have a lot of those bts videos and some variety that would take some time I agree. But it's worth it, but then again I'm biased...😀

not gonna lie, it's not as easy to get into iKON as it is other YG groups. lol They don't do a lot of variety, and they don't have iKON TV.. :( They have a few vlives you can watch though, and a Pops In Seoul Rookie Show.

Their reaction was so cute! Gosh Donghyuk looks so gaunt I hope he's okay.

I just realized that Bobby slips and falls during BI's first verse lol! They all just laugh it off. Good fun!
