iKON kicked off its Asian tour “iKON 2018 Continue Tour” at Linkou Stadium in Teipei on Saturday, following its Seoul performance in August.

Amid ear-splitting cheers from the Taiwanese crowd, the group kicked off proceedings with its classics “Bling Bling” and “Sinosijak.”

The group performed both old and new songs, such as “Killing Me,” “Cocktail,” “Only You,” “Love Scenario,” “Freedom,” as well as “Only and Only” and “Holup,” B.I and Bobby’s solo tracks, respectively.

For international fans, the members used both English and Chinese, while also performing popular Chinese song “Peng You” and “Love Scenario” in Chinese.
In Chinses, the members said, “We really love you. Your support always gives us strength. Thank you so much, Taipei fans.”

Just over a month after sweeping the K-pop scene with “Killing Me,” iKON will return to the scene with a new EP “New Kids: The Final” on Oct. 1. The album will be fronted by lead track “Goodbye Road” and feature three new songs “Don’t Let Me Know,” “Adore You” and “Perfect.”

It will be the final installation of the group’s “New Kids” series, which began in May last year with “New Kids: Begin,” followed by “New Kids: Return” and “New Kids: Continue.”
iKON will continue its Asian tour in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Jakarta and Hong Kong through October to November.
