I love Hanbin's lyrics. I didn't get a chance to stan iKON, but I did delve into Hanbin's lyricism. His lyrics are two extremes of the same spectrum: from euphoria and heartbreaking sadness. As a growing writer, I love the way Hanbin pieces his words, thoughts and feelings together to create something so magical and mystical such as Love Scenario that I can't comprehend myself. His lyricism is filled with shades of grey, yet also holds hopes that he would never let go. No matter where he is, I'll support him. Even if I wasn't there for him in iKON, I'll be there for him now, and forever. Respect from a upcoming future author to a talented songwriter!! Love you, Hanbin.

[@chickensoup9869]

Kim Eana, who wrote IU's Good Day, took notice of his distinctive style when Winner's Empty was released in 2014. If a songwriter awards holder paid attention to his lyrics that much early, it was only a matter of time for him to get an award with the same title. And it turned out she was right! 😁

True. When i read the lyrics of all ikon songs, it always make me feel some type of way. He never used bombastic words but he managed to deliver the emotion he try to potray in his songs. I especially like it when he wrote sad n slow songs (hug me, just go, apology, don't forget etc) . I think that's his specialties n what separate him from others. Other kpop songs despite having good meaning, often time it feels empty because the lack of emotion. I'm excited to see his next craft. Hope he'll come back soon.

Kim Hanbin became an executive director at 24!

That's how independent iKON was under Hanbin's leadership. Hanbin is also the only idol and youngest Korean artist to win Songwriter of The Year. He is known as one of the most hardworking and talented leaders in the industry. He always wishes others to be happy. Please support him. He truly deserves it.

They released a repack album containing almost everything in early 2019 as compilation. What makes iKON special is they are the primary producers of their music and content unlike most k-pop. If you listen to their discography you'll notice how distinct each song sounds which most were produced by B.I. showcasing iKON's versatility. iKON was able to break decade old records and made a cultural impact with their music despite minimal company support and a small fandom.

Thank you for this. But some info are wrong like him helping Winner's debut song. Actually "Empty" is B.I's song. He didn't help. It was his one of the first completed songs he wrote. And aside from that he also wrote songs for Psy and Seungri. His song Be I that he wrote for SMTM3 didn't just entered top 10, it actually reached #1 on South Korea's biggest streaming site Melon and some other charts. His masks donations were not just 10K but 100K masks for his fans worldwide and for those people struggling to buy masks. His fans donated socks to the orphanages that he is currently volunteering and constantly donating at. The shoes he gave to the kids, it's not the first time he gave something to the kids there. He and a couple of his high school friends are volunteering there and constantly donating like masks, toys, books, etc and last week sent over pizzas for the kids. IOK Company, the agency he's an executive director now, said we will be seeing him producing in the future and hopefully on stage again. So hopefully soon 🙏

[@jam-ep5jm]

Let's not use "he did nothing wrong" card. Hanbin himself admitted that he did something wrong in 2016. Other idols would probably just hide behind their companies, but hanbin bravely admitted despite risks in his career. And i'm proud of him for doing such move. So instead of framing him into an "innocent" one, let's support his growth as person. We stan a human, not a saint nor a god. Ps. Hanbin did not admit drug usage. What he admitted was him having thoughts of using it back in 2016. He said he never used it since he was scared and I believe him, BUT whether he used it or not, it doesnt change the fact that he was the one who asked hsh for something illegal. So to say that he did nothing wrong sounds too biased for me. Peace out.

LOL I have watched such worse drug scandals in America that weed seems so mild a thing. I know it's illegal in Korea and doing crimes is wrong, so I get that, but considering about the rape scandals, etc, I do wonder about whether some sense of proportion could be used in these things. Must say though that that one girl has got to be stopped from ruining so many lives and careers. Why hasn't she been thrown in jail for everything she's done.

His fans are not defending him blindly. As people who've seen him grow since his trainee days, we understand him as much as this. We've seen him grow, how he went into a slump and then depression and then getting back up again. 2016 was a really difficult time for ikon. They were sent to Japan to hold 2-3 concerts a day for 2-3 days IN A ROW while going back and forth to China for a survival show - they endured this for almost 2 years. 2016 was also the year where bobby had to hold an oxygen can while performing at their japan concert, donghyuk lost soooo much weight and hanbin /allegedly/ tried to experiment on LCD because he wanted to be a genius. All of that happening to ikon while YG was busy gambling in L.A. I'm not justifying dr*g usage but it just makes sense that hanbin thought of it (but in the end got scared to do it) - he wanted to be a genius for him and his team to get out of that situation. YG kept rejecting his songs but he continuously wrote and composed songs despite that. This is what i want people to understand before calling him a "druggie" Hanbin and iKON deserves so much more. I wish them all the best and happiness in life.

He participated in SMTM 3, his song BE I is the first from the show that topped in Melon Charts. He also topped multiple charts. Kim Hanbin has also performed in MAMA 2014 during his pre-debut. He has also participated in lyrics and composing of Born Hater. With regards to EMPTY, it is Hanbin's first complete-full song that is also officially released. He is the main lyricist and main composer of the song. He also won the Song Writer of the Year as the youngest at the age of 22 and also the Producer of the Year. Although he won that with his former group, he is their only producer which the credit should rightfully belong to him. As of now, he has 59 songs credited under him. Last 2018, he is highest royalt earner. And now he is an executive director at IOK Company at the age of 23.

[@HanzQ]

watching this as a hardcore ikonic is so tough because it doesn't show the love ikon had for each other and how fkn tough that fall was. they were truly one of a kind, a family... and as ikonics i believe we all still have a lil hope in our hearts that that family will reunite because the bond they shared and the love they had for their leader was out of this world. until the day they finally reunite i hope my boy stays the most badass, loving, kindhearted talented rolemodel

[@miharo_moel]

Y’all gotta stop calling him the next what tf ever. I actually think, a spirit as creative and talented as him is better off being as free as possible. Sure, IKON share a tight bond and he is their leader, but: He’s made for even bigger things than YG could ever represent. This is his chance to become, well, actually BE the one and only B.I, not someone else. Just look at waterfall. He’s meant to be more than an idol and I think he always has been. Mark my words, he’s going international.

[@tkp97]

Its sad how they protected BigBang when they had their drug scandals but couldnt proect B.I. Shows that YG has favoritism .

[@mochimochixoxo]

it was his birthday yesterday and mnet didn't say happy birthday can you do s#arp next

[@Gaby-zy1km]

Gasp i didn't know

[@Lynnneee]

Why would mnet greet him on his birthday? 😂 Oh yes, he trended worldwide in Twitter yesterday with all the greetings from his fans. And have you seen all those gifts from his fanbase in China? Seriously B.I have received complete set of music recording materials from cbinics since last year, that B.I could literally open his own music production company (hopefully he’ll do it with his 131label).

This prove that he is a reliable man even though he made a mistake. His success probe that he know how to be responsible with his action and move on to erase those dark past.

B.I actually had a few other tracks released from YG but they didn't have his name on the release poster. Fans recognized it from his demos he played in the years prior. Eventually he appeared on KOMCA for the songs. He also made the songs on the iKON album that came out after he left except one. Epik High and Lee Hi continue to collaborate with him on their and his music. He is also suspected to be producing music under a pseudonym. I got into Team B during WIN and supported them all the way until now.

[@maranathalisa3550]

Back then i feel so sorry and pity for Hanbin and iKON. They going through several mistreatment, hates, then there's YG still use them as their money maker in Japan. But right now, I think both iKONICs and Binics are ready for a new changes. iKON are preparing new album soon and Hanbin will be back for sure.

[@_bloomoon_]

No words can express how much love and admiration I have for this man ❤️

[@eliconti8388]

I don’t really see iKon going far without hanbin, it saddens me but I don’t think they will ever reach the same level of success they had before, as you said Hanbin was so much more than just a member, the groups just doesn’t feel the same anymore... Also just realised that both dawn and hanbin wrote the best songs of 2018 and both left their groups and company soon after...

[@iking8251]

If you are there when WIN happen you will know that BI is iKON, iKON is BI. I love iKON but now iKON without BI is not the same iKON anymore.

[@haruharu2486]

Nah they still have the chance to gain back their popularity IF only the company change their way of promotion n management. That's the only way. The remaining members have their own charm n could attract more fans but too bad the company never give them the chance n exposure they deserve. I mean look at their solo activities, it's just waaayy to sad for a 5 year old group. I think current groups like stray kids, nct, ateez etc have more exposure n public appearance than ikon in 5 years. Ikon are at disadvantage right now only because they don't have a strong fandom as a whole n as an individual. If they do, they won't be struggling as they are right now. Take winner for example, they also experience similar experience but they don't suffer as much as ikon in terms of popularity because every members are well known among the public with distinctive talent. With ikon, because ikon was mostly associate with hanbin n bobby, it creates unbalance force in the fandom as people don't know much about other members despite them being as talented as the other two. If yg fix this, i think they'll be fine.

[@afrualensab-it8664]

Hanbin's role to iKON has always and will always be vital to the group's success. However, I personally think that iKON can still go on as a group. Their subscribers on youtube are actually increasing day by day and these were mostly because of their latest live performances. I also think that showcasing each of the members charms and talents to the public would benefit them. Because although they have recieve so much recognition after LS, some citizens still doesn't know who iKON members are. They just need the proper exposure , the right platform and the oppurtunity to show this to the public. If these talents are utilize properly then it is no doubt that they will gain more popularity. On the other hand, I also think it is important that fans should trust and have faith on the remaining members instead of doubting them for them to be able to continue as a group.
