Debut Date
YG Entertainment officially set iKON’s debut date as October 01, the release date of the first half of Welcome Back album. This was also the date they mentioned as their debut date during their first concert on October 03. However, on December 24, during a live, out of nowhere, this happened:
B.I : We released My Type on September 15th, right? … At our concert, we designated our official debut day as October 01. I’ll change the date.Bobby : With whose permission?B.I : I’ll change the date to September 15. As My Type was the first song we released under the name of iKON and since today is the day when our full album comes out (December 24 is also 100 days after September 15), all the meanings make some sense. Instead of October 01, we are here to correct our official debut day to September 15 in the presence of iKONIC members.Junhoe : … We are destined to designate September 15 as our official debut date.B.I : Applause! /claps from everybody/ No objections, right?Jinhwan : What about you, everyone? The comments said, “Yes”.B.I : Everyone agreed with it.
So, basically, as iKON and iKONICS always do, we listen to our leader, Kim Hanbin. 2015 September 15 is iKON’s debut date.
