No, iKON has not disbanded.
While the members concluded their exclusive contracts with YG Entertainment on December 30, 2022, after seven years, this decision did not signify the group's disbandment. The members collectively chose to continue their activities as iKON.
iKON's Journey After YG Entertainment
Following their departure from YG Entertainment, all six members of iKON—Bobby, Jay, Song, DK, Ju-ne, and Chan—signed with 143 Entertainment on January 1, 2023. This move allowed the group to retain their name and continue their music careers together.
Their continued status as a group is evident through:
- New Music Releases: iKON has released new music under 143 Entertainment, demonstrating their ongoing activities. For example, they released their third full-length album, Take Off, in May 2023.
- Concerts and Tours: The group has continued to hold concerts and embark on tours, engaging with their fanbase worldwide.
- Active Promotions: They maintain an active presence on various platforms, participating in variety shows and promotional events.
This collective decision to move to a new agency together underscores their commitment to iKON and their fans, ensuring the group's longevity despite the change in management.
