Popular rookie group iKON will go live on the V app at 4 p.m. on Thursday, for the third episode of their special game tournament show “Welcome Back.”

The first match was held on Oct. 4, with Jinhwan and Chanwoo playing a Korean tongue-twister game where the contestants had to pronounce a word repeatedly while emphasizing a different syllable of the word each time. Chanwoo won the first round.

In the second match, which was held on Oct. 18, Bobby and Junhoe played a game of slap-match, where Bobby won.
