IKON's Bobby quietly enlists today (4th) ... Serving on full-time reserve service

 

Due to being a parent raising his son since his marriage in 2021, Bobby was selected to serve on a full-time reserve service.

In April, iKON's agency, 143 Entertainment, announced through the official SNS of iKON, "iKON's members Bobby and Jung Chanwoo will fulfill their military duties on May 21 and 27." They also informed that both individuals would quietly enlist without any official events on the day of enlistment.

Subsequently, 143 Entertainment announced, "Bobby's enlistment date has been changed from May 21 to June 4." The agency also stated, "There will be no separate official events on the day of enlistment. We ask for your understanding once again as they quietly enlist to prevent safety accidents."

-Does he have a kid......?

-Just found out he's married with a kidㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought he already went;

-Is his kid's name Jinsoo?

 ㄴIt's notㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's Bobby's fan.

-Jinsooㅠ Bobby, stay healthy in the military.

-Everyone's thinking about Jinsooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, he already has a kid.

-Chanwoo..? Isn't he the youngest in iKON? He's not even 30 yet?

-Seriously, isn't Jinsoo more well-known than the actual Bobby at this point?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Bobby went to the military, but everyone's looking for Jinsooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Jinsoo, hang in there.....ㅜㅜ

-Jinsoo was the only one I could think ofㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ

-Isn't Jinsoo even more famous than Bobby now?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This show was so f*cking fun. It was literally the only thing my friends and I talk about at school.

-I agree. I was not a fan but I know about this program because I heard Kang Seungyoon and Lee Seunghoon were in it. 

-This show was really popular even among non-fans. You know that guy, Nam... He was really popular. 

-I witnessed how popular this show was, probably because I was still in school back then. Everyone at school and the academy talked about this show all the timeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I was still in middle school at the time this show aired. My friends and I usually would watch clips of this show during breaksㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This show aired when I was in 10th grade. There were none of my friends who didn't watch this show. 

-I watched this show because I heard Kang Seungyoon from Superstar K was in itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh... I was still in primary school at that time, that's probably why I had no memories of it...

-I was in 7th grade when this show aired. My class was divided into 2 different sides to support each team and we used to fight a lot because of it back thenㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If you were in middle or high school at the time this show aired, there's literally no way you didn't know about this show.

-What year did this show air in? I'm not a K-pop fan, but I know about Produce 101 because it's really popular. But not with this show, it's my first time hearing about it. 

-Popularity? Produce 101 Season 2 had the biggest popularity. 

-Who are these?

-All of the participants in this show are really talented...

iKON's Goo Junhoe, "We don't have the same influence we did before, our popularity is falling down"

 

iKON shares their concern of feeling frustrated and anxious but has no idea what's causing it.

Kim Donghyuk explains, "It has been 8 years since our debut. 10 years, including our training days. As singers, we've been at the top. All of us are struggling and anxious, but we have no idea what's causing it."

Goo Junhoe adds, "It has been 8 years since our debut. Frankly speaking, we've had two primes in our career: Once when we debuted and once with Love Scenario. However, we no longer have the same influence we did before. Now, we're not able to raise our popularity anymore. We can't even manage to have the same popularity. Honestly speaking, our popularity is falling down."

-But at least they're in YG, that's why they still could promote as a group until this point...

-But still, they've hit really big with Love Scenario. Not all idols could experience such popularityㅠㅠ

-Almost all idols experience the same thingsㅋㅋㅋ At least they have hit big with some of their songs before...

-It's really sad to hear this, especially since it reminds me of my ex-favorite group... I'm rooting for you~

-Idols' popularity usually falls down as time passes. I think they should try promoting as individuals or widen the variety of their activities.

-This is a common concern for idols who have been in the industry for a long time...

-I have to admit that Love Scenario was a really big hit...

-It has been 8 years since their debut...?? But why do I feel like I haven't seen them have comebacks that much?

-But to think about it, there are not a lot of boy groups who have big hits as big as Love Scenario...

-Have they tried releasing songs...? I feel like they're releasing songs once every three years...

-This is the reality of being idols, it's all unpredictableㅠㅠ

iKON's Bobby confesses in Golden Clinic, 'As an idol, I should've set a good example but I had a baby before marriage. I'm sorry towards the fans'

 Kim Donghyuk recalls Bobby's marriage announcement and says, "Bobby cried as he told each of us that he was going to get married. I know his personality, I know he felt like 'I'm responsible for a person's life. This is what happened. I'm terrified and scared'"

Go Junhoe adds, "Bobby's gaze became different after he got married. He thinks about his family more than what he wants to do."

Bobby explains, "As I decided to get married, I felt really sorry towards iKON's members. It's a blessing, but as an idol, we work as a team. That's why I went to each member and said, 'This is what happened, I came to apologize.' All of the members understood and congratulated me. I'm very grateful for that."

He continues, "I told this to the company along with my parents. After explaining it all, I find my life is quite ridiculous. It's very spectacle. There was so much to fix that I didn't have time to feel things. As an idol, I should've set a good example but I had a baby before marriage and that's not a good example. I'm very sorry to my fans that this happened."

-Oh Gosh... What if his baby watches this video when he grows up? It'll hurt him...

-I personally have always thought that Bobby does not suit to be an idol. Even more, now that he had a baby before marriage and became a father. He should've been a rapper, living his life freely. That way, he could've been happier. And for iKON's members, I know how they must've felt. Anyway, I don't know if appearing on this show benefits them in any way? Hang in there, iKON's fans...

-He did not plan to have a baby before marriage, it happened unexpectedly. He took responsibilities until the very end (Which is a very given thing to do, but there are a lot of celebrities who don't do this), so I didn't think much and on the other hand, I kinda like him. But he's an idol, the things he does influence the group and the fans. So I understand how their fans must've felt. 

-After watching this episode, I think he could've been way happier if he wasn't an idol...

-I support him because he chooses to have the baby instead of aborting it. Think about it, do you think there are no celebrities out there who choose to abort their baby so that it won't affect their careers? I hate that even more

-I think he's a very kind guy... He should've focused more on getting popularity after Show Me The Moneyㅠㅠ Because iKON does not have any comebacks every year... I think he's a very good rapper...

-Having a baby before marriage itself is already shocking, not to mention the timing when he announced it... People just started seeing iKON in a new light after Kingdom. It must've hurt a lot for their fans.

-You guys know that you still can have a baby even though you use contraception, right?

1. [+68][-0] NCT Dream will start enlisting in their 13th year into their debut. While the maknae enlist in their 15th year into their debut. 

2. [+45][-0] Whoa, I'm so jealous because NCT Dream's age range is similar to idols in the 4th generation

3. [+36][-0] Hul... NCT Dream still has 6 years left?ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+23][-1] I'm jealous because NCT Dream's members are still young and they could enlist in the military late. Not only that, the military-related hiatus they would have also going to be short. 

5. [+13][-0] Moon Taeil is enlisting in the military this year...? Is this real...?

6. [+13][-0] Whoa.. NCT Dream... Is that real?

7. [+11][-0] Well, NCT has a lot of members so missing one member wouldn't create a big difference

8. [+10][-0] Wouldn't SKZ start enlisting in 2026? Bang Chan is Australian, he doesn't have to enlist. So the first one in SKZ to enlist would be Lee Know, right?

-They're seriously so cute..ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-They look very embarrassed..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So cute..ㅋㅋㅋ What's up with him shaking his hand's manager in the end, that's cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

About iKON receiving rookie awards in Japan

Are there any Japanese singers included as the nominees too?

Anyway, I saved these pictures from Twitter and the difference between these outfits is like the distance from earth to the sky..

pann

[+174][-10]

1. [+77][-2] Look at how Hyunsuk uploaded about iKON winning this Japanese award on his Instagram. He stayed quiet when iKON received the Grand Slam title and the same awards in Korea, but he uploaded about iKON winning this Japanese award 5 minutes after it was announced..

2. [+74][-3] The other 3 nominees were Japanese singers and iKON won it.. FYI, that awards ceremony is the biggest one in Japan..

3. [+69][-3] I know right.. That Trash-Suk kept quiet when iKON gained the Grand Slam, and won tons of awards in Korea.. But once iKON won a Japanese awards, he boasted it off on his instagram..

4. [+35][-0] iKON received 5 awards in Korea, and also the Grand Slam title!! 3 awards in China, and also the best Korean singer number three in Japan..ㅠㅠ I'll see you in Korea, guysㅠㅠ Your outfits today looked really pretty..

5. [+23][-0] It's not a category for foreigner singers, but a category that even Japanese singers also included in it..ㅠㅠ On top of that, they got the title 'The Best Rookie of The Year'ㅠㅠ I'm happy, but I hope YG won't turn them into iJON soon.. This is a gif of B.I receiving the awards:

6. [+19][-0] I'm so proud of iKON..ㅜㅜ

7. [+17][-0] I live in Japan and I just turned on the TV with no intention to see them at first, but I got very surprised when I saw them on  TVㅋㅋㅋ It's a very big awards ceremony here in Japan, and the fact that they got to take home one of the awards is just really cool for me..

8. [+15][-0] Trash-Hyuk-ah.. Watch your hashtagsㅋㅋㅋ 'Domestic activities have been completed'

#QuickPreparingForAnotherAlbum #DomesticActivitesHaveBeenCompleted

9. [+15][-0] Why does YG only give their Korean singers works in Japan?

10. [+13][-0] I'm not an iKON's fan but I like them.. But why do they only do activities in Japan? What's the point of having those survival shows? Please get back to your right mind before their fans in Korea leave them..

-Jungkook-ah.. My babyㅠㅠ Please keep on being an underage for the rest of your liveㅠㅠ

-Ah.. No.. Jungkook is still 18.. Our Kku Kkuㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I can't believe Jungkook is already 21 years old.. Wait.. Are you sure it's not 21 months old..?

-No Jungkook-ah.. I beg you.. Noㅠㅠ

-Ming-gooㅠㅠ Our Mingㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Pardon me? 21 years old? Jungkook is still 19.999999 years old..

-Minggyu-ya.. Seokmin-ah..ㅠㅠ

-Kku.. When did you become an adult? I can't believe you'll turn 21 next year..

-Gu June and Kim Dong Dong will forever be underages in my eyes..

-Whoa.. Mingyu is going to be 21 next year.. Time sure passes by really fast..

-Why does this sound really sad.. I first knew Jungkook when he was 17 and now he's going to turn 21 in 2 weeks.. 

-How is it possible for Mingyu to be 21 next year.. No.. He's still 19.. This can't be real..

-And Vernon is going to be 20 next year....

-Our Mingyu is going to be 21 next year..? It feels like it was just yesterday when I saw him graduated from high school.. This makes completely no sense..

-Mingyu is already 21.. Jihoon is 22, and Vernon and also Seungkwan is 20... 

-Ah.. Now it's time for Vernon and Seungkwan to escape the 'minor' labelㅠㅠㅠ and Dahyun tooㅠㅠㅠ

-I can't believe Jungkook is already an adultㅠㅠㅠ

-Seungkwan-ah.. Hansol-ah.. I can't believe you both are going to escape from the 'minor' label next year..ㅠㅠㅠ

-For me.. It feels like it was just yesterday when Taemin turned 20.. Anyway, Taemin is a 93liner..ㅋㅋㅋ

  -That's right.. I can't believe he's going to be 25 next year..

-Jungkook, you're a 20 months old baby, right?

-Now it's time for 98Teen to turn into adults.. No..ㅠㅠ

That one 'crazy' member that every male idol groups have

BTOB: Changsub

Infinite: Dongwoo/Sungjong

Bangtan: V

Bigbang: TOP

iKON: Bobby

Winner: Lee Seunghoon

[+107][-8]

1. [+85][-1] Rather than crazy, I think Dongwoo is just a kid who gets distracted easily + all of those hehehehes..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+72][-1] Dongwoo, the guy who lost his mind:

3. [+56][-2] It's not Lim Changsub (The OP made a mistake, but edited it) but Lee Changsub..ㅎ.. Honestly, it's really hard to pick the 'craziest' member in BTOBㅋㅋㅋ How should I say it.. Each of them have a different kind of craziness..?

4. [+39][-0] How Dongwoo usually behaves in real life:

5. [+38][-0] But still.. There are some times where he gets me a heart attack, just like how he does in this pictureㅠ<3

6. [+35][-0] Isn't it Sungjong in Infinite..? You can see it just by watching one of their VApp broadcasts, that he's not sane.. He might looks sane but he's notㅋㅋㅋ For Dongwoo, rather than crazy, he's just a kid who gets excited 24/7ㅋㅋㅋ You can consider Sungyeol as crazy too..

7. [+29][-0] It's Lee Changsubㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And I think BTOB is just a bunch of crazy guys..ㅋㅋㅋ They have various kind of craziness..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+28][-0] Actually, it's Sungjong rather than Dongwoo..ㅎ I noticed this after watching My Little Television and Knowing Brother.. Just look at what he uploads on his Instagram these days.. Anyway, here's a sane-loooking picture of Sungjong<3:

9. [+26][-1] That doesn't apply on BTOB.. 7 of them are all crazyㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+21][-0] All of BTOB's members are crazyㅋㅋㅋ You can't just pick one, they're all equally crazyㅋㅋㅋ
