BI (real name Kim Han Bin) - a Korean idol and rapper. He entered the K-pop entertainment industry at the age of 13 through the song Indian Boy by MC Mong.

His name gradually became famous through the famous rap show Show Me The Money 3 and exploded as the leader of the band iKON.

Rapper BI will perform at the 8WONDER Moon Festival - Autumn Festival to be held by VinWonders at Ocean City Hanoi, from September 6 to 8.

Rapper BI - talented leader of iKON

Debuting in 2015, YG's iKON group was expected to be the "3rd generation monster" following the success of their big brothers Big Bang and Winner.

It is undeniable that iKON has achieved extremely impressive results since their debut. The group's debut MV My Type immediately swept the Korean Realtime charts with 18 hits on Melon.

In 2018, the hit Love Scenario created a worldwide fever, bringing iKON's name closer to the audience.

It is worth mentioning that all the songs in the album since iKON's debut have had iKON's participation in composing. He is even compared to G-Dragon (leader of Big Bang) because he holds the "soul" of the group's songs.

Therefore, when the male rapper was involved in a drug scandal, the group was like a "headless snake", iKON's music gradually lost its uniqueness and fell behind in a market with an extremely harsh elimination rate.

At the peak of his career with iKON, BI was caught up in the biggest scandal of his career.

In order not to affect the group, the male idol asked to withdraw from iKON, then the management company YG also announced to terminate the contract with the "favorite".

The male idol's departure has caused iKON to suffer extremely serious effects.

During the broadcast of the talk show Dr. Oh Golden Clinic , Bobby said that when BI left, the group was almost about to disband.

“When the leader, the pillar of the group, the person responsible for so many different tasks, just left, I thought that this was the end of iKON,” the male rapper confided.

BI's departure not only devastated the iKON members but also left a huge regret in the hearts of fans.

Solo career is shining more and more

Before leaving, BI was a young star who was fully supported by YG Entertainment.

Since joining K-pop, the male rapper has always proven himself to be a multi-talented artist, shining in many different roles, from singing, dancing to composing and writing lyrics for many hit songs.

After leaving iKON, BI continued his musical career. In 2021, BI released the album Midnight Blue , marking his return after a long period of "hiding".

Wishing to bring positive values, the male rapper used the profits from this album to donate to support children in crisis around the world through World Vision.

In May of the same year, BI officially returned with the MV Got it like that , collaborating with Destiny Rogers and Tyla Yaweh. After that, the male rapper continuously returned with two albums Waterfall and Cosmos .

The album Waterfall made its mark when it topped the Itunes charts in 18 countries and was one of the best-selling solo albums by Korean artists in 2021.

BI did not let fans miss him for too long, in 2022 he continued to return with the single BTBT. The song helped the male idol enter Spotify's Viral chart in 51 countries and topped iTunes in 49 regions.

BI can be considered the most hardworking idol in K-pop because in 2023 alone, the male rapper continuously released three products named To Die , Die for love and Dare to love.

Each song has BI's personal style, a unique "quality" that is hard to find in K-pop.

It can be seen that after the scandal, BI is gradually regaining his glory, proving that he is an all-round artist regardless of the company.

BI is currently preparing for a tour of 14 European countries. In addition, the male idol will be a special guest at the 8WONDER Moon Festival in Hanoi from September 6 to 8.

BI officially joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in 2011. In 2014, he became famous when he participated in the show Show Me The Money 3 with member Bobby.

In addition to composing the group's songs, BI is also the "father" of hits such as Empty (Winner), Born Hater (Epik High), Whistle (BlackPink) and three songs by PSY: Bomb , Last Scene and Auto Reverse .
