B.I Talks About Meeting Epik High's Tablo, Big Bang, And Other Firsts

B.I's back! It's safe to say we're "Waterfall"-ing pretty hard for the K-Pop rapper so we really had no choice but to invite him over and chat all about his firsts. So, what's that epic story about Tablo when it comes to B.I's first time being starstruck? The throwback tale about B.I fanboying at his first Big Bang concert? Oh, and in terms of the first Korean dishes he eats when he's back home - we're dialing Postmates as we speak. #BI #IllaIlla #KPop

[@red_light_3937]

I generally hate when people say that about someone else, or themselves when they speak a language. But for B.I I definitely agree. He already feels so natural switching between both. It's kind of what I imagine in my head a person who had a Korean speaking parent and an English speaking parent raise them. Some of this could be the b()zzf3ed editing, but it's similar in his YT videos too.

His favorite character in Slam Dunk is Mitsui. He probably sees some similarities with him and that character. If you watch the animé, you will understand. Mitsui's storyline is probably one of the best in Slam Dunk. From being the star player to quitting basketball because of his injury, to then becoming lost troubled teen and even joined gangs. But his love for basketball is always there. The team's coach gave him a second chance and because of his natural talent and being a team player, he became one of the key players of the team again.

I love his Waterfall album so much. His music is a masterpiece.

[@nat4017]

He's 131 weeks older than me, but he experienced so many things (good and bad ones) already, I could listen to him talk forever and wouldn't be bored. He'll forever be my idol that i get my source of drive from.

His English is almost perfect. I appreciate his effort to learn the language so he can communicate more with his growing international fans. Love you Hanbin. So,so much.

[@xiaovenli]

I’m very happy for you, B.I. I hope you continue to shine bright wherever you are ❤️

[@mrslea0904]

OMG his english is improving & I like it. Kim Hanbin always be my baby ❤️

[@gabriellegoncalves5161]

I've known Hanbin for more than 7 years and it still surprises me how much I love his simplicity and sincerity. Plus, as my favourite artist, we do have a lot in common and I feel completely comfortable having him as my reference, as if he were my long time best friend (we are the same age, it surely helps haha). Thank you for this, Buzzfeed! I'm so happy to see my boy shining again for good ❤

[@bethr4149]

He seems like a different but very similar person and the fact he learnt english and got this good while working on music all the while is so amazing to me

Its great to see him talking about the past. Carefully but he does talk. He had a wonderful journey and it should be acknowledged not forgotten. B.I, congrats on being free! Make the best of your 4 years.

[@angietoonz6605]

same!!! I was surprised at him answering and being sincere but just not mentioning specifics of being in a group. It's refreshing.

[@sheilabuenavista3219]

B.I talking about the good old days confidently makes me happy it was overwhelming. ^^
