- iKON trained at YG since they were kids, spending a decade with the company, practically their entire youth. Of course they felt like a family.
- I am bawling my eyes out… I was watching some videos of iKON since their debut days and couldn’t hold back my years
- It is truly “YG Family”! I certainly hope that iKON can go back to their heyday!
- This is heartbreaking to hear… They have spent a good chunk of their life together, grown as close as a family, and then they had to part ways…
