B.I’s recent interaction with a member of his past group, iKON has gone viral online.
When iKON debuted in 2015, the group’s lineup consisted of seven members — Jay, Song, Bobby, DK, Ju-ne, Chan, and leader B.I. Controversies in 2019 led to B.I leaving the group, and the remaining members continued promoting as six.
Since then, fans have expressed a desire for the group to reconcile, though past statements have made that seem unlikely, at least with certain members.
However, fans were able to experience a healing moment ahead of B.I’s enlistment.
B.I is currently on his The Last Parade tour and began a set of encore performances, including a date on March 1 in Seoul.
During the concert, fans noticed that Jay (Jinhwan) was in attendance, seated on the second floor of the venue.

During the show, B.I actually spotted Jay in the crowd and waved, with Jay waving back and yelling “B.I, fighting.”
Jinhwan shouted "B.I, fighting!!!" 😭

Though there have been some other minor instances of the idols mentioning each other, this is the most direct interaction in public that many fans have seen since B.I’s departure.
Along with B.I acknowledging iKONICs (iKON’s fanclub name) in the crowd, many felt that this moment had been a long time coming and were emotional.
