Fans are trending #4EverWith7KON to celebrate iKON's anniversary.
Following several debut postponements after survival programs "WIN:Who is Next" and "Mix & Match", iKON finally made their official debut as 7 with pre-single 'My Type' on September 15, 2015.
Within 24 hours of its release, their debut music video 'My Type' surpassed 1.7 million views on YouTube and took the No. 1 spot on the digital, download, and streaming charts simultaneously. The group also took their first music show win with 'My Type' on MBC's 'Music Core' even though they had yet to make their first official live appearance.
This anniversary is also special for fans as it's the group's first anniversary without iKON's leader B.I, who announced his leave from the group on June 12, 2019 after an alleged drug purchase.
I stopped looking forward to comebacks, new album, tour dates after June12. All I want is for them to be complete again. I want iKON to be happy & healthy. We’ll wait for you Hanbin, let’s create more memories together#GratefulToKimHanbin #4EverWith7KON pic.twitter.com/jDYzRI2kfr— 131 🎞 (@filmhanbin) September 15, 2019
