[일간스포츠=황지영 기자] iKON has released a video for their comeback.

On May 16 at 10AM, YG Entertainment released a teaser video titled “NEW KIDS:BEGIN”, which is also the title of iKON’s new album, on the company’s official blog. In the video, each of the seven members of iKON is presenting different and unique appeals, hinting on a great change in the image of the team.

Until last year, iKON had an image of innocent and youthful boys, but now, the team is presenting masculine and intense charisma with street fashion and hip-hop atmosphere.

An YG insider said, “The concept for iKON’s comeback this year is ‘NEW KIDS’. It means iKON’s ‘new beginning’ and ‘new style’, which also shows iKON’s resolution and will to release ‘NEW KIDS’ series albums continuously during this year”.

The starting point for new iKON will be “NEW KIDS:BEGIN” to be released on May 22.

iKON has been focusing on their career in Japan for the past one year. Following their Japan Arena tour, iKON will hold first dome tour at Osaka Kyocera Dome in Japan on this Saturday, May 20. Then, two days later, iKON will come back in Korea with their new album “NEW KIDS:BEGIN”.

Music fans are paying keen attention to what kind of new music and style iKON will present for their comeback.

this is basically what YG is doing for all their new gen acts, releasing double title track single albums then a mini/full one later on. which means fans get to pay for the same songs twice if they're keen ;)

p.s. you can hear BI saying "bling bling" in the mv filming sneak peek YG shared in April

ETA: Rumour has it Millennium is one of YG's trainees that's going to debut in the group with Bang Yedam. Here's his soundcloud.

...really?

that being said, they can probably work the hep hap/thug life/??? style more convincingly than nct 127 in limitless

That really stuck out for me too, like 'innocent'? When!? lmao. They pulled some random adjectives out of their butt i think.. =-=

i don't really see how this is much of a concept change but i nvr followed them well in 2015 & i'm hype anyway, ngl

Innocent? ohhhh kay. I love Ikon but they were never that image.


ANYWAY. This sounds so hype and I will inevitably just buy the whole record when it comes out in full. But I am loving this style, they can actually pull it off and I'm hype.

I got stressed looking him up. That's his producer name BECAUSE HE WAS BORN JAN 1, 2000................ what am i even doing with my life!!!
His real name is Choi Raesung, a rapper-composer-producer that's rumoured to be part of YG's upcoming teen boy group.

Choi Raesung? Is this the same Raesung from Kpop Star Season 1? I remember him from being the same group as Seunghoon.
