iKON releases two new songs on November 6 + full album on December 15… Changed the plan completely
[OSEN=권지영 기자] iKON releases two new songs and music videos on November 16 and a full album on December 14.
iKON made a grand debut with debut warm-up single “MY TYPE” and debut half album “WELCOME BACK” in September and October, respectively. Now, they are meeting with fans once again, with a new schedule for their debut project.
YG Entertainment (‘YG”) unveiled a poster titled “RE-SCHEDULING ANNOUNCEMENT” on the 28 this month at 2pm on YG’s official blog (http://www.yg-life.com/), to announce the change in the schedule of iKON’s album release.
Originally, iKON was supposed to unveil their debut full album on November 2, following the release of warm-up single “MY TYPE” on September 15 and debut half album on October 1. However, the poster says that two digital singles and two music videos will be released on November 16 and a full album and new music videos will be released again on December 14.
Such decision was made because of YG head producer YANG HYUN SUK’s special order to “make a mega-hit song that goes beyond ‘MY TYPE’”. As the schedule was modified to produce the music videos for more than three songs, while YG’s main producers including TEDDY and KUSH are working hard on iKON’s new songs, famous Korean music video directors such as Seo Hyeon-Seung and Han Sa-Min, as well as world-famous foreign music video directors have joined the iKON project. Furthermore, the team of iKON’s stylists has also been reshuffled, to present a new style. As such, iKON members and staff for the team are now doing their best to enable iKON’s new and greater leap forward with better songs and music videos, as well as new style and stage performances.
iKON swept the No.1 on domestic and overseas music charts when they released debut warm-up single “MY TYPE” and debut half album “WELCOME BACK”. iKON’s debut concert “SHOWTIME” held at the Olympic Gymnastics Hall in Seoul proved iKON’s enormous potential, by selling out all the 13,000 tickets. Plus, iKON received the No.1 trophy in TV music shows including MBC’s “Show! Music Center”, SBS TV’s “INKIGAYO”, and Mnet’s “M-Countdown”, heralding the birth of a “monstrous rookie”.
Furthermore, iKON topped the music video chart of China’s biggest music-streaming website QQ Music and drew as many as 26,600 fans to their fan meeting tour in Japan, enjoying a big popularity overseas, too.
After making such fancy and eye-catching debut in a great success, iKON is now targeting an even greater leap forward for this November and December, following the exceptional success they achieved in September and October.
Meanwhile, iKON will meet Korean fans in their third autographing event to be held on the 28 this month at IFC Mall in Yeoui-do, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their debut half album, following the first and second events that were held on the 17 and 18, respectively.
