Hola halo guys, first of all I want to say sorry because I haven't post anything for months. I got really busy in my last year of high school, I just finished my national examination so I kinda "free" for now. Okay, so today I really want to talk about my new favorite boy band from YG family. Yes, they are iKON. The group was first introduced in 2013 through the reality survival program Who Is Next: WIN as Team B, which consisted of B.I, Bobby, Kim Jinhwan, Koo Junhoe, Song Yunhyeong, and Kim Donghyuk. Team B, and their adversaries, Team A, were both formed from trainees of YG Entertainment. Since Team B lost to Team A, they lost the opportunity to debut as Winner.
At first, I really want team A to win, because Jinwoo's sad story about his dad (idk probably around second episode) I was like, "YG should debut team A, team B is still young, they can wait". Although it changed after I watch the next episodes. Both of teams were working so hard for this survival competition, but team B was a bit better than team A. Every time I watched team A performances, I was like "oh man, they are too ordinary" (don't hate me, just trying to be honest) but team B performance always left 'something' that 'wow' you and the judges think the same too. Team B kept win all the monthly evaluation but they lost at the second proper stage and the next stage. Team A really rocked the stage and their song way much better than team B at that time.
This is my opinion, I really think that YG wants to debut team A in the first place. Two members of team A already known in public because of K-pop star season 1, if you watch WIN, you must know about it because they keep saying it over, over and over again. Even the leader of team A already have a proper debut as soloist. Of course team A the way more popular than team B, and this really disadvantage team B because the winner would choose by fans vote. Second, team B wasn't well introduce on WIN show, some of people says "because they don't have story to tell yet", but that's not right. Do you know how hard it is to sacrifice your youth doing a cruel survival show with unfair treatment? nope, you never know until you be the one who play the game. Well, at least YG (or mnet) can introduce them properly even though they don't have stories 'as many as team A' to tell. Third, if you watch the mix and match ep. 1, there was statement where YG says "I'm glad that they (team b) lost so they can learn more'', see? YG never wanted to debut team B in the first place, he wanted team B learn to be stronger by doing a cruel survival show. He wants to debut team A and introducing their potential trainees (team B), so both of them got the popularity. Probably right now you think that I'm hurtbutt or something, but I really want you to know that someone cares, not me but someone.
After team B lost I have to say that I kinda hate Winner (team A), but not anymore because they are working so hard right now, so they worth it. ^^
Watch team B's last performance on WIN, and you will cry like a baby ;_;

In June, reports had begun circulating over yet another reality survival program involving Team B. Two months later, YG officially launched the concept of Mix and Match to the public, confirming Team B's participation.
More details about the show were announced during the official press
conference held on September 2, along with the introduction of the new
trainees, Jung Jinhyeong, Jung Chanwoo and Yang Hongseok.
The format of the show would involve following iKON, YG Entertainment's
upcoming boy group, on their road to debut. In addition to a new name, Yang Hyun Suk also revealed that B.I, Bobby and Kim Jinhwan
were set members of iKON, leaving the remaining 3 members of Team B to
battle for one of 4 places alongside the trainees. iKON's official
line-up would be determined by a voting system, with 30% by the judges,
made of YG artists, and 70% by the viewers during the course of Mix and Match airing.
Voting began in and throughout October, starting with official
fanmeetings held in Japan, China and Korea on the 5th, 11th and 17th, followed by the on-site voting during the third and final match by both attendees on the 22nd, and ended with online voting held between the 30th and 31st.

Although actually YG did this for team B's sake. This is my opinion, YG wants to debut Team B after the attention that they got on WIN, in sort they're famous enough to debut, but remember the statement he (YG) made on win which the loser won't debut at least 4 years later or the worst will disband, makes him can't debut them easily. So, YG have to make another survival show to debut them, but it can't be like the previous one and finally YG come out with idea "rearrange" the group which actually he wants Team B + 1 new member. Why can I say this? It is because:
- The way to choose the members is fan voting, so basically the original member of team B is more popular then the rest of them (except for chanwoo, lol)
- YG knows team B's fans loyalty, so there's no way we would choose the new trainees than the original members
- The new trainees are really new, like for 2 months or 2 weeks (hongseok) they have joined YG. Of course their skills are below the original members (my opinion). I believe YG has trainees that the way better than chanwoo, hongseok, and jinhyeong, but YG chose them because of "the potential" they have. Yes, they have potential not skills yet. (But the end of the show, hongseok decided to leave YG and join Cube Ent)
love this performace the most :)
