[TRANS] HIGH CUT VOL.139 B.I & BOBBY’S FIRST PICTORIAL ‘WE ARE HIP-HOP IKON’
We present the hip-hop style pictorial of two members (B.I & BOBBY) from YG’s
new boy group, iKON.

Together as one through their arms, bodies, and souls they radiate the feeling
of hip-hop. You can especially see the perfect chemistry between these two
people. They trained and underwent survival programs together and have now posed
in the pictorial without regrets. In this pictorial, they wear ‘Adidas’ brand
clothes.

After BOBBY & B.I’s shooting for the pictorial, they were interviewed about
their first impressions of each other. B.I said, “At first glance, Bobby looked
gentle so I was curious as to what kind of hyung he was. As time went by, I
noticed that he joked around a lot. In one word, he gives me the feeling of ‘the
neighborhood fool’.”

BOBBY said, “Because he’s strong-willed, B.I had a really scary feeling for a
dongsaeng. So at first, I remember using honorifics towards each other. B.I’s
self-assertive vibe is still evident.”

When asked who B.I wanted to recruit into iKON, he answered, “Yang Hyun Suk CEO.
If Yang Hyun Suk comes into our team, we might be able to debut faster.”

BOBBY answered, “Teddy hyung. He knows a lot about coolness so if he were to
come into iKON, I think I’ll be able to develop my skills more.”

When asked about artists that they are interested in working with, B.I mentioned
2NE1’s CL, and BOBBY chose Yoon Mirae. B.I went on to explain, “When we’re
together on stage, I try hard not to get tired. CL noona’s energy gives me a
synergy effect.”

BOBBY said, “I think there’s a lot I can learn from Yoon Mirae. On stage, she
has a really cool vibe.”

B.I was asked about the hardest thing to deal with being a leader. He answered,
“With the hyungs and the dongsaengs, I accept everything. The times when they’re
nice, and even the times where they’re extremely annoying and make me angry.
Because of this, it isn’t too difficult leading the team, yet.”

B.I & BOBBY’s pictorial will be featured in the 139th volume of High Cut
magazine, released on December 4th.
