Kim Han-bin (Korean: 김한빈; born October 22, 1996), known professionally as B.I (Korean: 비아이) is a South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and dancer. He debuted in the South Korean boy band IKon under YG Entertainment in September 2015. On June 12, 2019, he departed from the group due to drug allegations. During his time with the group, he played a significant role in the production and songwriting of their music, and is credited as the sole record producer for all of the group's releases.[3][4] His contributions to iKon's second studio album, Return, for the lead single "Love Scenario", earned him the prestigious "Songwriter of the Year" award at the 2018 Melon Music Awards.[5]

In 2021, he debuted as a solo artist under his self-founded label, 131, with the charity single album Midnight Blue (Love Streaming) and full-length charity studio album Waterfall.[6][7] Cosmos, the first half of his second studio album was released in November 2021.[8] In 2022, he launched his global album project Love or Loved, starting with the single "BTBT" in May,[9] followed by the EP Love or Loved Part.1 in November.[10] B.I released his second studio album To Die For on June 1, 2023.[11]

Early life

[edit]

Kim Han-bin was born on October 22, 1996, in Cheonan, South Korea.[12][13]

In 2009, B.I made his first appearance by featuring and participating in promotions for MC Mong's single "Indian Boy", including live performances and accompanying the rapper to the TV show You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook.[14][15] He also appeared in the music video for the song and had a cameo appearance in the music video of another song by MC Mong, "Horror Show".[16]

B.I joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in January 2011.[17]

Career

[edit]

2013–2014: Career beginnings

[edit]

After over two years of training, in 2013, B.I participated in Mnet reality survival program WIN: Who Is Next as a contestant under Team B.[18] However, his team's opponent, Team A, won the program, so B.I, together with the other members of the team, continued as a trainee under YG Entertainment.[19] In 2014, B.I and his label-mate Bobby competed in Mnet's Show Me the Money 3,[20] during which B.I released his self-written digital single "Be I", which became the first single from the show to top the charts.[21] This was noteworthy as he was only 17 years old and still a trainee at the time.

While B.I was still competing on Show Me the Money 3, it was announced in September 2014 that Team B would return to compete on another survival program, Mix & Match.[22][23] This show eventually led to the debut of Team B, with the addition of trainee Jung Chan-woo, under the group name iKon.[24] In October 2014, B.I was featured in label-mate Epik High's lead single "Born Hater" alongside Beenzino, Verbal Jint, Bobby, and Winner's Mino, and they performed the song together at the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[25][26]

2015–May 2019: Leader of iKon

[edit]

B.I made his debut as the leader of iKon under YG Entertainment on September 15, 2015, with their warm-up single "My Type" (취향저격),[27] followed by lead singles "Rhythm Ta" (리듬 타) and "Airplane" on October 1, 2015.[28]

Throughout his leadership tenure, B.I played a significant role in the production and songwriting of iKon's music,[3] This includes the group's full-length studio albums Welcome Back and Return, as well as the compilation album The New Kids, and singles and EPs such as "#WYD" (오늘 모해), New Kids: Begin, "Rubber Band" (고무줄다리기), New Kids: Continue, and New Kids: The Final.[29] He is credited as the sole record producer for all of iKon's albums.[30]

In December 2018, B.I was awarded the "Songwriter of the Year" award at the 10th Melon Music Awards for his contributions to iKon's second studio album, Return, and specifically for his work on the lead single "Love Scenario" (사랑을 했다).[5] Deemed one of the "100 greatest songs in the history of Korean pop music" by Rolling Stone in 2023,[31] "Love Scenario" topped the South Korean Gaon Digital Chart for the year 2018,[32] and received several awards in South Korea, including the Melon Music Award for "Song of the Year",[33] the Golden Disc Award for "Song of the Year",[34] and the Seoul Music Award for "Best Song".[35]

While serving as the leader of iKon, B.I released one non-promoted solo track, "One and Only" (돗대), as a B-side from iKon's album Return.[36] In December 2015, he and fellow iKon member Jin-hwan joined the cast of JTBC's Mari and I (마리와 나).[37] He was also featured in label-mate Psy's studio album 4X2=8 in June 2017, on the track "Bomb" along with Bobby,[38] and on the track "Mollado" (몰라도) from Seungri's debut studio album, The Great Seungri, released on July 20, 2018.[39]

In 2019, B.I was cast for JTBC2's variety show Grand Buda-guest.[40] He was also featured on label-mate Lee Hi's single "No One" (누구 없소), and co-wrote and co-composed the track "1, 2" (한두 번) from her EP 24°C.[41][42]

June 2019–2020: Departure from iKon and YG, hiatus

[edit]

On June 12, 2019, following drug allegations, B.I left the group iKon and terminated his exclusive contract with YG Entertainment.[43]

Despite his departure from iKon and YG Entertainment, B.I was still credited with writing and composing four out of five songs on iKon's 2020 EP I Decide, including the title track "Dive", which was released by YG Entertainment on February 6, 2020.[44]

On September 28, 2020, B.I was appointed as the executive director of IOK Company.[45]

This was followed by B.I's release of a charity single album, Midnight Blue (Love Streaming), on March 19, 2021, through B.I's self-founded label, 131 Label, an affiliate of IOK Music. The label's name was inspired by the shape created when the letters "B" and "I" are combined. The debut single album contained three self-written songs, and an animated music video for lead single "Midnight Blue" was released on the same day.[48] All tracks had been previously released, partially, as demos via B.I's SoundCloud between 2020 and 2021.[49][6]

On May 7, 2021, 131 Label announced the release schedule for B.I as a solo artist. This included a global single "Got It Like That" featuring American artists Destiny Rogers and Tyla Yaweh, released on May 14, 2021, and his first full-length studio album, Waterfall, released on June 1, 2021.

He performed a live band version of his song "Nineteen", which was originally released on his album Cosmos.[63]

In April 2022, B.I announced his global album project Love or Loved.[64] He launched a pre-release single in collaboration with Soulja Boy titled "BTBT", featuring DeVita, on May 13.[9] Also in May, B.I's label 131 unveiled the record production and songwriting team White Noise Club, which includes B.I and other South Korean producers Millennium, Sihwang, Padi, and Kim Chang-hoon.[65] B.I later featured on Padi's digital single "Handsome", alongside South Korean rappers Nucksal, Kid Milli and Gaeko.[66]

B.I at his first fan meeting in Singapore on August 7, 2022

From April to August 2022, B.I performed "BTBT" and some tracks from Waterfall and Cosmos through a series of offline fan meetings in Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok and Manila.[67][68][69][70] On June 26, 2022, he held his second online concert, BTBT Performance Online Fancon, which was exclusively streamed on LiveOne.[71] During the event, he unveiled two unreleased tracks from his upcoming EP Love or Loved Part.1, "Tangerine" and "Endless Summer".[72]

On June 27, B.I released the digital single "Lullaby" with Chuu as a collaboration with Dingo Music.[73]

B.I announced his resignation as an executive director of IOK Company on October 11, 2022. Following his departure, his label 131 confirmed that it would operate as an independent label.[74] The label had undergone a rebranding earlier in January 2022, from 131 Label to 131 (One Three One), or simply 131.[75] It had also signed its first artist besides B.I, Reddy, on September 30, 2022.[76]

First part of B.I's global album project, the EP Love or Loved Part.1 was released on November 18, 2022, featuring the pre-release single "BTBT" and a new lead single titled "Keep Me Up".[77]

Following the release of the EP, B.I held his first standard in-person concert as a soloist, titled L.O.L: The Hidden Stage, in Seoul on December 10, 2022. He performed a selection of songs from all of his albums, and was joined on stage by special guests Lee Hi and the Epik High trio.[78]

On February 3, 2023, B.I's record label, 131, announced that he would be stepping down from his position as the head of the label in order to focus on his music work as an artist and producer, while the label would be managed by a team of entertainment business professionals. The label also announced a change in B.I's release schedule for 2023, stating that his second full-length studio album, the continuation of Cosmos, would be released first, so as to express his take on "love" to a full completion. The second part of his Love or Loved project, with stories about "loved" in the past tense, would be released later on.[79]

On February 10, 2023, B.I and the record production and songwriting team White Noise Club produced A Tempo, the debut EP of the South Korean R&B singer-songwriter Soovi, as a part of their "New Voice Project". B.I contributed to writing and composing two of the songs, including the title track "Missing You".[80]

In March 2023, B.I embarked on the L.O.L: The Hidden Stage tour. The tour included six stops across Southeast and East Asia, with local special guests joining him on stage at some of the shows. It concluded on May 20, 2023, with an additional concert in Bangkok.[81][82][83]

B.I collaborated with Sik-K and Reddy for the single "TTM" that was released while he was touring, on April 27, 2023.[84] In an interview with Esquire Korea, B.I shared that he was inspired by a scene from the movie Taxi Driver, in which the protagonist repeatedly asks "You talkin' to me?" in front of a mirror.[85]

B.I's second studio album, titled To Die For, was released on June 1, 2023, including the lead singles "Dare to Love" (featuring Big Naughty) and "Die for Love" (featuring Jessi). Through an exploration of love and resistance, the album brought to a close the project about youth that B.I had started with Cosmos.[86]

On July 10, 2023, the newly created agency Grid Entertainment announced that 131 had become their first affiliated label.[87]

In July 2023, 131 announced B.I's first concert tour in Europe, Love or Die, with 16 stops across 14 countries in September and October 2023.[88] The list included countries where South Korean artists rarely perform, such as Luxembourg, Estonia or Finland.[89] Most of the dates were sold-out and Rolling Stone UK gave the concert in London a five out of five stars review, describing it as a "masterclass of live performance" and "one of those one-off perfect, euphoric night's out that are impossible to recreate, but ingrained as a core memory forever".[90][91]

The release schedule for the second and last part of B.I's Love or Loved global album project, Love or Loved Part.2, was revealed shortly before the beginning of the tour.[92] Prior to the release of the EP, on November 10, 2023,[93] the title track, "Loved", became available on October 27, 2023.[94] Another single from the EP, "4 Letters", was released on September 30, 2023.[95] B.I also unveiled the title track on the stage of Lollapalooza Berlin, on September 10, 2023. He was the first South Korean artist to take part in the German edition of the festival.[96]

The EP consisted of five original songs written in Japanese, with two lead singles, "Kowai" (怖い) and "Wish You Were Here", and guest appearances of rappers Sky-Hi and Chanmina on B-side tracks.[97] "Kowai" had been made available in advance, on February 23, 2024.[98]

B.I's second tour in Asia, Hype Up, was announced in March 2024.[99] Seven concerts are scheduled from May to July 2024 in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Macau,[100][101] following the opening concerts in Seoul on May 17 and 18, 2024.[102]

On May 20, 2024, B.I released the global single "Tasty", for which he worked with a team of North American producers including Malibu Babie and Vaughn Oliver.[103]

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style

[edit]

B.I has mentioned "Shake Ya Tailfeather" by Nelly, P. Diddy and Murphy Lee, "Song Cry" by Jay-Z or Eminem's "Lose Yourself" as the songs that brought about his dream of becoming a rapper, when he was at primary school.[104][2] But while hip-hop and R&B remain major influences on his music,[105] he also looks up to the "not too elaborate but still very beautiful" music of the Beatles.[2] Rather than "lock[ing] [him]self into a certain genre," he stated in 2022 that he was intent on exploring as many as he could, always trying to "experiment with new sounds," and "make the boundaries more blurry."[105][106] Thus, the songs "Savior" he composed for Lee Hi (September 2021) and "Alive" (November 2021) were inspired by jazz,[107][108] "Endless Summer" (November 2022) by tropical music and EDM,[109][110] "Cosmos" (November 2021) by 1980s rock and doo-wop,[111][112] "Illusion" (June 2021) by lo-fi,[113] and so on. Even though his songs usually highlight electronic sounds,[114] he has acoustic tracks as well, such as "Remember Me" (March 2021).[115]

Similarly, B.I explained in 2021 that he wouldn't oppose rapping and singing, as they were simply two ways of "expressing the message of [his] music."[116] He actually sings more than he raps in his album Love or Loved Part.1 (November 2022).[104]

In 2018, B.I discussed the process behind his songwriting, admitting, "Because I don't have much experience, I typically draw a lot of my inspiration from movies or dramas. I'm also the type to draw inspiration from things like poetry". He explained that it was a way of "making up for things I'm unable to experience or feel for myself". When asked what type of music he wanted to make, he stated, "There are just two things. Music that people can relate to and music that draws imagination. Aside from that, the reason that I compose and make music is simply because it's fun. My hobby doesn't feel like work just yet".[117]

Songwriting

[edit]

Drug allegation controversy

[edit]

On June 12, 2019, it was revealed that B.I had allegedly attempted to purchase marijuana and LSD in 2016 from an undisclosed female dealer, and used the former. He was also accused of evading police charges.[145] Following the reports, B.I posted an apology on his personal Instagram account. He acknowledged some of the allegations, explaining that he was going through "a hard and painful time and wanted something to rely on", and announced his departure from iKon.[43] A few hours later, YG Entertainment confirmed that he had indeed left the group and terminated his exclusive contract.[146] His appearances on television series Law of the Jungle, Grand Buda-Guest, and Stage K were edited out by the networks prior to their broadcast.[147][148][149] The dealer was revealed to be Han Seo-hee, who was involved in drug issues with former label-mate T.O.P and received four years of probation in 2017.[150]

In September 2019, it was reported that B.I had admitted during police questioning to violating the Act on the Control of Narcotics in 2016.[151] In February 2020, results of a drug test conducted on B.I were released, revealing no detection of illegal drugs from a sample of B.I's body hair sent by South Korea's Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency to the National Forensic Service.[152]
