No iKON members trained under a different entertainment company before joining YG Entertainment 🌟. However, some trainees who were initially part of the group’s lineup did move to other companies after being eliminated from the final lineup 🚫. For example, Hongseok, who was a trainee with iKON, left YG Entertainment and joined Cube Entertainment to become a member of PENTAGON 🎤.
All the current members of iKON started their training at YG Entertainment and stayed there until they debuted as iKON in 2015 🎉. After their debut, they remained with YG Entertainment until they left the company in 2022 to join 143 Entertainment 🚪.
The members have been focusing on their new journey with 143 Entertainment, and some are preparing for military service, like Song Yunhyeong, who will enlist soon 🚫. Despite the changes, iKON continues to be active in the music scene, releasing new music and performing for their fans 🎵.
