iKON reached a milestone with 3 million subscribers on Naver’s V Live and uploaded a brief thank-you video in response.

“We have finally reached 3 million subscribers,” the band began. “We are going to make even more videos and contents on our channel, so please stay tuned for more and continue to love and support us.”

The seven-member act came out with “New Kids: The Final” on Oct. 1, marking the band’s third release of the year and the finale in the “New Kids” series, which began with “New Kids: Begin” in May last year.
