( Full Making Video and Digital Magazine )
VOL.152- INTERVIEW]
Although it’s before their debut, it has already been 3
years that iKON has stood in front of the public. Started as Team B in 2013 Survival Program WIN: Who Is Next, they ran into jungle of fierce competition.
Although they lost in this competition, they had chance in the next year. In Mix and Match, they who had the chance to debut went through competition once again.
So the present seven boys survived. Because they were raised strongly, even when they’re still known as trainees, their experiences are impressive. In SMTM 3, Bobby beat rappers and won the trophy. B.I participated in working on Winner’s Empty and became the songwriter of the first place song. When you go out on the streets, there are already several fans who recognise their faces and the voices waiting for their first album is hot. An interview with Leader B.I, Mat-hyung(Eldest brother) Jinhwan, qualified rapper Bobby, Song Yunhyeong in
charge of the visual, Kim Donghyuk and Goo Junhoe in charge of singing and maknae(the youngest) Jung Chanwoo.
Q: Members were chosen and changed in front of the whole nation watching. What was the first impression of the members
that you saw in the competition?
B.I: Since the first time I saw Jinhwan hyung, I already thought ‘We’ll be in the same team.’ It was obvious that he was going to be a kind hyung. I had a feeling that Junhoe will be stubborn. Haha. I thought Yunhyeong hyung was really handsome.
JUNHOE: At first, Donghyuk left a strong impression because I thought he was always the opposite of me.
DONGHYUK: B.I and Bobby hyung were playful and funny and their chemistry was good.
CHANWOO: When I first came to YG and when everything was unfamiliar, Donghyuk really took good care of me. I’m still really thankful.
Q: Since 2013, you’ve been through competition by competition. Have you ever been tired or regretted on things to be done to become iKON?
B.I: I absolutely have no regrets.
DONGHYUK: Sometimes long trainee days are tough. But I don’t know if it’s because I think that my preparation is insufficient than other members, I want to prepare hard and show a great image.
Q: Since when did you have a dream of wanting to become a singer? Is that dream coming true?
B.I: Before 6th grade, my dream changed once every 2 days. My parents said if my dream doesn’t change for a year then they’ll help me with that dream and that was becoming a rapper. To see that my dream did come true, I think I was lucky.
CHANWOO: Starting from elementary, I only did acting and I had interest in becoming a singer. I went to Bigbang sunbaenims concert and I actually didn’t think I’d join YG so when I did my audition and I got in, I was sure of my dream as a singer.
Q: Express the feeling of when debut is confirmed with the name iKON in one word.
B.I: When the debut date is confirmed, I think I’ll cry.
BOBBY: Bring it on.
Q: It had been revealed that the members actively participate in making songs. Where do you get inspired musically from?
B.I: Real life experiences are the best but because I don’t have much experience, I get inspiration from dramas, movies, poems, etc. I also imagine by myself.
Q: It’s very hard to release the debut album. I think YG has a lot of concerns internally. For what kind of music is this preparation for?
B.I: Definitely good music. I like dancing so I’m always thinking of what performance to show with the song.
Q: With debut ahead, what’s your determination?
B.I: I want to become a person who doesn't change even after
debut.
DONGHYUK: I think we’ll be able to show why Iit took so long for us to debut through our stage.
JINHWAN: I’ll show us continuously developing constantly.
Q: What is the image that members dream of in 10 years? What adult or singer will you all become.
CHANWOO: When I see Sajangnim, he has a lot of people around him so it makes me think that he’s an even cooler person, I
hope I’ll have a lot of people around me as well.
B.I: I want to do a lot of performances. I think concerts will be a lot of fun. Personally, I want to work on songs and go around the world.
BOBBY: I want to make a harmonious family. In 10 years time, I hope I’ll be with my family.
YUNHYEONG: Even then, I want to be on stage with them. Even when we debut and our popularity increases,
I hope we can still get along well.
JUNHOE: As a man, I hope I can be a cool guy. I hope I can have that maturity and deep aura that comes as I grow older.
DONGHYUK: Even after 10 years, I hope we can build our own hiding place an work a lot on songs and have fun together. Just like now.
JINHWAN: Like Michael Jackson or The Beatles, I hope we’ll be able to become the icon like our group name.

It has been reported that the members of Super Junior are in the middle of filming for the group’s upcoming comeback music video!
This news was revealed as a result of member Kim Heechul’s absence from the press conference for the new travel reality show “MAPS” that took place on the same day.
On June 26, the press conference for Olive TV’s “MAPS” opened up at the Stanford Hall in Mapo District with cast members Girls’ Generation’s Yuri, actress Choi Kang Hee, rapper Simon D, as well as the director in attendance.
Heechul’s absence from this event has provided fans with an unexpected update on the progression of Super Junior’s comeback preparations.
While Heechul was originally scheduled to attend, he was unable to make adjustments to his schedule due to the overlap with his music video filming.
Prior to the start of the press conference, a representative of the show announced, “A full group filming for Super Junior’s music video was scheduled for today, so Heechul was not able to come today. He has expressed his disappointment and apologies. Please be understanding of the situation.”
Meanwhile, “MAPS” is set to begin airing on June 28 at 9:40 p.m. (KST).

Has AOA's comeback increased your anger over Youkyung being neglected and you want to see a female idol drummer loved by their company for once? Want to get in the mood for the Wonder Girls band themed comeback? Like stanning for ex-members of top groups? Look no further!

( first & most importantly: follow the girls on instagram )

Did my three fellow resident Bebop fans miss me? I thought I'd make this a minor pimp post since I've been at this for a while now. Isn't Ayeon's new hair amazing? I kind of near-fainted when I saw it (back when it was dark with red highlights, omg. brown is good too though). Ayeon's improved so much, I still can't believe she learned the drums in 1-2 years in order for Bebop to be able to debut, she looks & sounds so much better than when they first started sending her out on solo performances. I might make an Always Cantare post if I can find more stuff because there's some other idol faces in it (i.e Sonamoo's Euijin, Rainbow's Jaekyung).

Girls’ Generation member Hyoyeon is gearing up for the launch of her personal style book “Hyo Style.”
In “Hyo Style,” Hyoyeon will talk frankly about her own personal style from the past to the present as well as cover “it” items from her closet.
Hyoyeon will celebrate the book launch with readers on July 1 at the Espresso Room in Seongsu-dong. A mini exhibition featuring representative pieces from her closet will also be on display.
The singer commented “I hope that through my book people can grow in self-love. I think that through trying out a variety of different styles yourself, you can find what suits you. That is your style. I hope you can be more confident. It was through those processes that I formed what is now Hyoyeon’s style. I will continue to try and perfect ‘Hyo Style’ going forward.”
“Hyo Style” will be available online and offline starting July 7.
