SIX members formally make up the popular South Korean boy band iKon.
Originally a seven-piece band, B.I. departed from the group in June 2019; now Bobby, Jinhwan, Yungyeong, Donghyuk, Ju-ne and Chanwoo form iKon.
Born December 21, 1995, Kim Ji-won, famously known by his stage name Bobby, is a South Korean k-pop singer.
Bobby, 25, is best known for finishing first place on Mnet’s survival show: Show Me The Money 3.
In 2015, Bobby and iKon released their debut album Welcome Back, which debuted atop the South Korean Gaon Album Chart.
The album featured three number-obe singles, My Type, Apology and Dumb & Dumber.
The album was a commercial success – selling over 260,000 copies in Asia, and its songs sold over 4.8million copies, which lead the group to receive numerous accolades on major Asian music awards.
On August 20, Bobby announced his upcoming engagement to his girlfriend and revealed they’re expecting their first child in September.
The musician uploaded a lengthy handwritten letter to his Instagram account, as well as a caption explaining his current situation.
In the IG post, the iKon member wrote: “Hello, I’m Bobby of iKON. I have something to tell you today, so I’m writing this after a lot of thought.”
“I promise to marry the person I love. Also, I will become a father in September. I am happy to have a new family. However, I am even more apologetic to the fans who were taken aback by my sudden news,” Bobby wrote.
“I should have told you sooner, but because I keep worrying about this, I’m sorry for the delay. To all the people who have always helped and supported me, I feel a heavy responsibility because I feel like I’m putting a burden on you.
“I apologize with all my heart to those who are hurt and greatly shocked by this news of me.
“IKON members and fans who made me a person who was lacking a lot to someone who is precious for this world, I will be a person who is not bring ashamed to my parents.”
Bobby concluded: “Above all, I’ll do my best not to become a nuisance to the fans who are waiting for IKON’s activities and members.”
Despite the lengthy message, Bobby’s soon-to-be wife remains unknown to the public.
