1. [+212, -41] iKON just doesn't have their own color... I remember when Big Bang first debuted with their "we're not an idol group!" concept and started singing songs like "dirty cash!!", everyone was like ????... they had no song that could gain them fans or anything and they were on their way to flopping before they changed up their image with songs like 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru' which hit daebak. Winner is doing well with sweet, medium tempo songs that strike a chord with the public in the mid twenties age group but iKON's songs are like... "rhythm ta! uh yeah! rhythm ta!" and "we're a band of bees! yeah!!" ....?????? And that song 'Apology' just reeked of it being stowed away for years before being passed on to iKON... iKON's just a group that can never get a concept for themselves. They set themselves up for failure when they dissed other idols before debut... you think people can relate to a rapper like that who's suddenly rapping lovey dovey songs? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+184, -40] They've never won #1, right?

3. [+143, -13] Remember YG started working them in Japan and basically threw away their Korean fanbase so their fandom boycotted all their merch and DVDs? They lost a lot of fans to stream their songs up on the digital charts so it's going to be a struggle for them unless their song is amazing.

4. [+41, -5] I honestly did see a few of their stages and there was just too much going on... They cared more about copying Big Bang's gestures and acting like they were playing it all cool on stage before actually showing how good they are at singing and dancing... and they need a cute member to really rake in the fans but all the members look a little too tough to be approachable... they're not even all that handsome either. Their chemistry just isn't there...

5. [+38, -13] I wonder what Bobby thinks of BTS now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ sucks for him for running his mouth like that in the name of hip hop

6. [+35, -4] YG can't escape the Teddy style of music, it all sounds the same;; their songs sound the same as their sons from 10 years ago. Black Pink feels like 2NE1's songs with different singers... I bet YG will sound the same in 10 years again too... so boring and predictable;;;

7. [+29, -10] iKON never gets anywhere for how much YG pushes them

8. [+26, -6] Can't shake the feeling that this group was haphazardly put together since they were made with the eliminated members of Winner after all...
