At the press conference for \'Mix & Match\' held on September 2, Yang Hyun Suk announced that the new group will be called

iKON. He said, "Instead of iCON, I replaced the C with K to represent K-Pop... I hope iKON will become a group that represents Korea." 

B.I, Bobby, and Kim Jin Hwan of Team B, who lost the chance to debut on last year\'s survival show \'WIN: Who is Next\', have already been set as iKON members. Yang Hyun Suk said, "Team B\'s leader B.I, Bobby, and Kim Jin Hwan are already fixed members. The system will feature the other 6 who will compete with 2 being eliminated." He further revealed that he intends for iKON to debut in 2015.

The 9 featured in \'Mix & Match\' include Team B\'s B.I, Bobby, Kim Jin Hwan,

Song Yoon Hyung, Kim Dong Hyuk, and Goo Joon Hee as well as 3 new trainees Jung Jin Hyung, Jung Chan Woo, and Yang Hong Seok. The 4 that will join B.I, Bobby, and Kim Jin Hwan will be determined by judges votes (30%) and viewer votes (70%). Yang Hyun Suk has stated that he does not have any plans for the eliminated competitors to debut under YG.

i cant bring myself to Jin hwan \'s voice tbh althou i kind of like his personality. his voice isnt either lead vocal type or backing type. it will be hard to make a song that suits his voice

OMG!!! I\'m soooo excited but I thinks it\'s not yet time to squeal 

If it\'s YG, by means of 2015 it will probably be on December or 2016. Every YG stan knows

and when WINNER and IKON engrave their names in the MUSIC industry,, BAnG YEDam will start his journey as a singer!!! .. =)

I miss Yedam voice. His voice is incredible. We can find a lot of good singers but it\'s hard to find a singer with voices which can touch your heart. The moment I hear his singing in KPOPSTAR2, it directly touch my heart. I can understand what BoA, JYP and YG said.

That\'s gotta be one of the coolest names in kpop, looking forward to it!!!

This is fckng sad for original team b if one/2 of them got eliminated

I know iKON isn\'t going to debut for another few years a la YG\'s usual tease and troll method, but I feel like this is a little too soon especially since Winner just debuted and they are very much still rookies in the business. I know companies are always forming new possible groups with their trainees, but that\'s all hush hush as a big company secret. Guess the new trend is to tease your trainees until the public gets tired of them and of waiting. I\'m side-eyeing you too SM with the Rookies. 

Ooohh! 2015! You know what that means guys?! They\'re going to debut probably around Christmas 2015 or 2016 :P

Joon Hee needs to debut man ! Is voice is so sick and he is young and bright !

 I cant wait to see the YG Family photo next year

This has to be so stressful and tough for the rest of Team B and also for the new trainers... what some people wouldn\'t do for the money.

I guess I\'ll just have to throw all of my weight onto Junhwe! You can do it baby

also regarding YG showing favors to BI and BObby ,, ,---- its all because BI has extraordinary song writing skills/talent. and if you watched WIN, you can tell that BI has something he only has--he has this certain charm that i cant name.  and even if i was in the soes of YG,,, i will never let go of BI,. singing and dancing talents are given but songwriting skills --- not everyone can do it. .. as for BOBBY, he proved himself in "show me the money" --- so why let go of him right>>...

WTF is wrong with people saying YG it\'s too soon to debut another boy group you should debut a girl group first. 

Hell, it\'s obviously his answer to never ending fan requests, hate and question about when Team B is gonna debut. Whats the difference between debuting another group whether its a boy or girl group? It\'s still a group under them. He sees its more feasible to debut a boy group that the girl group. Deal with it.

true true true.. .and i think he\'s more careful in debuting girl groups specially that not many girls can pull off hiphop/yg style.

Actually, a girl group called UniQ is going to debut after Lee Hi\'s comeback, I don\'t understand why people are complaining?

B.I, Bobby, Kim Jin Hwan, I was sure they will be in the new group even if they weren\'t already confirmed members, because they are the best in Team B.

so what\'s the point to put the three of them in another survival program..they have suffered enough 

WAAAAHHHHH!!! i just searched who are the new trainees and guess what------they are all vocalist and JUNG CHANWOO - he is the actor who always play the young lee min ho  (in boys over flowers and in the heirs) and he will be the youngest contender .... i hope he\'s really good in singing.  3 vocalist contenders - that is what team B is lacking last year in WIN.. waaah... i have this feeling that they will be more famous than winner if they play their cards right. BUT i do love winner.. i just hope that iKON will be different from WINNEr in terms of musicality. =) omg YG.. way to go!!! 

bobby and BI are going to be thne new group! im happy for them because they deserve it!

i was voting like crazy because i want winne to debut! and this now..... i hope you had the same courtesy for winner if they had lost instead!

WTF is this fuss about.. Why digging about what would YG do when if Team A lost blahblah blah..they won, they debuted, they are popular now. Done. And let\'s move on
