To celebrate iKON’s new record, YG Entertainment revealed a celebratory poster through their official blog(www.yg-life.com). The images edited in black and white portrayed iKON’s unique charismatic, rough, and free charms.
The song ‘KILLING ME’ was written and composed by leader B.I. The riff composed of vintage piano tone and pluck synths create harmony with the melody to pass on the sad and lonely emotions one feels after a breakup. The point choreography of flicking the hips or nodding to the side also became a hot topic.
iKON’s ‘KILLING ME’ not only was placed at no. 1 on major Korean real-time charts as soon as the song was released, but also topped the K-Pop new releases chart of Kugou Music of China.
While receiving the heated love and support from in and out of Korea, iKON will step foot to the US next month. The group is expected to perform at ‘South by Southwest(SXSW)’, one of the largest music festivals in the world, on March 13th in Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater. They will decorate the finale of ‘SXSW Korea Spotlight’.
