Moving On

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while. I’m not sure if any of my followers are still active BUT as you probably have guessed, I’ve decided to move on. As is my personality, I would like to put some closure to something that I found very dear to me at certain points in my life. iKON and the fellow iKONICS I've met during the course of me being active here was and is still a very good memory. That won’t change.

But why am I leaving?

I realized that even though iKON is very close to my heart, I’ve come to dislike YG Entertainment as a whole. They are not the YG that we knew during Big Bang/2NE1 era. They are now just a board of directors whose only goal is to make money and this saddens me because I feel that they are undervaluing all their artists and really just dimming their light. All the media play, the internal fandom fights created by YG itself, blatant disregard of their other artists... it drew me away from the fandom. Music is something I'm very passionate about and this I why I got drawn to iKON in the first place. But I couldn’t stop comparing them with other artists because it almost feels like there’ s a certain filter being placed. And this filter is about making money and how to be more profitable.

Please don’t get me wrong, I still await for iKON’s new releases (I fangirled when LS, Killing Me, and Goodbye Road came out) and will passionately listen to their music but not the same as before. I hope those who is still “alive” on this website understand this.

THANK YOU to all and may we see each other somewhere else~ 

Cheers and Double B fighting!

Hello everyone who is still here! 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but, yes, I’ve been AWOL for quite some time now and it’s not really because of a lack of iKON updates (but yes it is somehow the reason partially), it’s because for the past few months I’ve been travelling all around Europe. It was a good journey and one I’ve learned so much from but fret no more -- I AM BACK and so are our boys! Woot!

To be honest, I don’t know how I want to shape this blog or what else I want to do with it. It’s been solely focused on Double B and I don’t see that changing much butttt I really want to do more with it. So, if you have any suggestions, drop me a message.

To those still here anyways.

Cheers!

I cannot tell people enough that idols are human. They are living, breathing, human beings who have dreams, have hard times, laugh, and cry. In fact, I feel that idols perhaps have one of the hardest times out there. As idols, they are expected to both be able to sing and dance. They should be always perfect, always happy. They are expected to be looked down upon and prove themselves when already they have given more than enough. Idols need to be able to do everything yet they don’t get the respect they deserve.

Some people put them on a pedestal, while some look down on them - when really, all of them are just human, just like you, just like me.
