iKON appeared on radio show “Kim Shin Young’s Hope Song at Noon” to talk about their latest comeback with “Dive.”

Having watched the music video and listened to iKON’s third mini album “i DECIDE,” DJ Kim Shin Young stated, “This album really reflects iKON’s color well. It’s a song that can be enjoyed by a wide age range, even those in their thirties and forties,” and continued to praise the group as she said, “The music video was so cool. It looked like a Hollywood film.” Bobby surprised everyone when he added, “Only the background is CG. We really had wires strapped to us and actually jumped.”

The members also talked about the new mini album being Donghyuk’s first time producing a song, the fifth track called “Flower.” Donghyuk said, “It was the first song I’d created for the team so I was happy with it, but I wanted to know the other members’ reactions and I wasn’t very confident, so I asked for their opinions quite a lot.” He went on to say, “I was only able to do it because the song received a positive reaction from the other members,” and humbly added, “I’ve never thought of myself as a genius.”

Donghyuk explained, “I wanted to play the song for the members because they are very objective with their assessments. Everyone sets aside their personal preferences and listens to songs in detail. Jinhwan doesn’t usually say when something is good but he said that he enjoyed listening to the song on his own, and that made me feel like it was a success.” Jinhwan added, “That’s right. I usually voice my critiques more than I do my praises.”

The members also shared behind-the-scenes stories of recording their new album. Junhoe said, “The vocal range for the new songs were quite high. The range was higher than we’re used to, so it was difficult recording this mini album.”

Finally, Kim Shin Young recommended Donghyuk to be a radio DJ and he said, “I’m young and I’m really confident about promoting iKON. Please put your faith in me!”
