Junhoe expresses his dissatisfaction with Bobby since five of the iKON members have yet to launch separate careers.
This year, iKONICs have been well-fed with a plethora of material from the top third-gen K-pop group.
In fact, iKON announced a reality program and hinted at a group return by the end of the year after participating in the brutal survival show Kingdom.
The boy group’s reality programs are popular with fans because they feature unparalleled mayhem when all of the members come together.
That’s precisely what occurred in iKON’s Type: One Summer Night. Junhoe or Ju-ne used it as a platform to vent his dissatisfaction with his profession and solo chances.
The idea behind this continuous variety program is for iKON to embark on a healing journey while having fun.
It also requires them to be open and honest with one another to have meaningful discussions. The guys did discuss solo debuts in episodes five and six.
Junhoe also conquered his phobia of water and heights by riding a water slide. Fans clapped for him, noting that he said in the episodes that he wanted all of the members to pursue individual activities. In this week’s shows, he expressed his worry once again.
iKON tells tales that have never been told before
With the premiere of episodes nine and ten on September 17, fans have started tweeting about Junhoe and his agency, YG Entertainment.
The guys became serious since it was the penultimate episode of the 12-part program. iKON revealed previously untold tales, with Jinhwan, aka Jay admitting that he didn’t want to change but rather remain the same with the members as they grew older.
Donghyuk, aka DK, remembered how kind the senior members had been to the younger members when they first met when they were 16 years old.
iKON was also assigned a goal to anticipate each member’s eating preferences and place late-night food orders.
Yunhyeong alias Song claimed that it would be simple since everyone knows what they want.
The last two episodes will show whether or not this is correct. However, in this week’s episodes, Junhoe had an open conversation with Bobby.
Junhoe’s frustrations
Junhoe shared a room with Bobby during the trip. He also said that he had been frustrated many times recently.

“There were many things I wanted to accomplish, such as write a book or a musical, but the chance never came,” he said.
“I feel compelled to act right now.” Bobby consoled him by telling him that he was doing well at the time.
The remaining iKON members do not have solo careers, except Bobby and former iKON leader and leader B.I aka Kim Hanbin.
Fans have observed that Junhoe, Donghyuk, and Jinhwan have expressed their desire for all members to pursue individual endeavors.
However, their agency, YG, has refused to comply. And it seems that, like the fans, the members are upset as well.
