Before debuting, the members of iKON participated in two survival shows: “WIN: Who Is Next” and “Mix & Match” 🌟. In “WIN: Who Is Next”, they competed as Team B against Team A, which later became the group WINNER, and although they lost, it was a significant step in their journey 🚀.
After that, they appeared in “Mix & Match”, where they competed with three new trainees to finalize the lineup for iKON, and this show ultimately determined who would debut as part of the group 🎤.
These shows were crucial in shaping the group and preparing them for their debut, which happened in 2015 🎉.
