B.I. on ‘WIN’: charismatic on the show and cute behind the scene?
[OSEN=박현민 기자] B.I., who is arousing much attention with his remarkable talents on YG Entertainment’s survival program ‘WHO IS NEXT: WIN’, is yet again drawing attention from the public with his hidden charms.
His newly revealed charm is completely different from what he has been showing on the program, which was all about being a serious and charismatic leader of Team B—cute and bubbly. The behind-the-scenes revealed on Daum Portal Mobile App was filled with his cute and vivacious charms, which grabbed the attention of the public at once.
B.I., a then 14-year old boy rapper who left the audience awe-struck back when he was rapping for MC Mong’s ‘Indian Boy’, is now a grown-up leader of Team B on ‘WIN’. As the leading member, he is once again in the center of the public attention.
He has positioned himself as one of the most memorable contestants on ‘WIN’, and Yang Hyun Suk (founder of YG Entertainment) once commented, “He is an absolute well-rounder who is excellent in rapping, choreography, and music in general. He is going to be the 2nd G-DRAGON.” The ex-contestant of Superstar K, KANG SEUNG YOON, also complimented his talents by commenting, “He always hurts my pride.”
In the behind-the-scenes that was revealed on Sept 20, Team B members (B.I., Kim Jin Hwan, Bobby, Song Yoon Hyung, Koo Jun Hoe, and Kim Dong Hyuk) were competiting against each other in a quiz session to get chocolate as a prize and do a comical dance as a dare.
B.I.’s usual charismatic self vanished, while a bubbly and playful character replaced it. In a competition against Kim Dong Hyuk, the ‘brain’ of Team B, B.I. got the highest number of questions right and won chocolate.
And rivaling against Song Yoon Hyung, the king of comical dance, B.I. once again revealed his playful and alluring comical dance.
WIN is aired every Friday from 10p.m. on Mnet and 11:20p.m. on tvN. It is also drawing huge attention from abroad and has been airing in 10 different Asian countries from Sept 17, including on STAR TV-related channel V and East Asia’s CJ E&M channel M.
Youku, the largest video-sharing website in China streams the show exclusively. Episodes 1 and 4 raked in 1 million viewers already, proving its extreme popularity. Korea’s Daum portal site will provide replay and behind-the-scenes services while also streaming it live.
