About
Born Kim Han-bin in Cheonan, South Chungcheong, B.I trained under YG Entertainment in his late teens, and in 2014 competed on rap competition Show Me the Money 3. This led to the formation and debut of iKON, with B.I serving not only as leader but as a producer and songwriter. The group was an immediate success, topping Korea's Gaon pop chart with their 2015 debut, Welcome Back. iKON's subsequent run of tours and releases in both South Korea and Japan was demanding, yet B.I still made time for occasional solo endeavors including appearances on albums by Psy and Seungri. He left iKON in June 2019 after the release of their compilation album New Kids, though he was still credited as a songwriter and producer on their 2020 EP I Decide.
