BOBBY

Bobby is a singer from YG Entertainment and member of the Korean boy group iKON. Born and lived in Korea, immigrated to the United States and lived for about 4 years before passing the YG USA audition. After a long trainee period, he is currently active in iKON and his position is the main rapper.

His first appearance to the public was WIN: Who is Next?, an open audition program produced by Mnet and YG. Here, Bobby first appeared before the public as a rapper for Team B. At this time, Bobby showed off his talents. After team B was defeated in the program, he appeared in another Mnet program 'SHOW ME THE MONEY 3'. When the news of Bobby appearing in SMTM3 where outstanding rappers gathered, it became a big topic of the hip-hop community and idol community. Many hip-hop communities expressed great dislike for his participation as an idol in the competition of pure rappers, and the idol community was also seriously concerned about "Can he survive a showdown with great domestic rappers?" And when the broadcast started, he had to go through great difficulties competing rappers with great skills. Bobby had to face a tough confrontation with the new underground rapper. However, Bobby broke through the pitfalls in turn, showing off the distinctive lyrics and intense flow. Bobby boasted a long-term stage control, leaving an intense impression on viewers and listeners. Bobby finally emerged as the winner of SHOW ME THE MONEY 3.
