Each member of iKon chose a keyword describing the new album -- they included “growth” and “challenge.”

“‘New Kids’ was a turning point. Before the song ‘Love Scenario,’ lot of people judged iKon only as a hip-hop group, but now I feel like we are acknowledged (and) loved by all ages,” said Bobby in the video.

B.I. added, “‘New Kids’ is iKon because the repackaged album conveys iKon’s intentions for every album in the series. We all had different thoughts but participated in making albums with all the same attitudes of youth, wildness and freedom.”

The K-pop band also released a music video titled “I’m OK” on Monday.

The upcoming repackaged album features 23 songs, all selected from the band’s most popular songs from the “New Kids” album series since 2017.

The offline release date is Tuesday.
