The Korean musician is back in the Philippines!
Kim Han Bin, popularly known by his stage name BI, is set to meet his Filipino IDs today.
The Korean rapper-songwriter will be staging a fan meeting on Monday, March 4, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City for a popular international apparel brand that he has collaborated with.
This fan event will mark BI’s return to Manila just after a few months.
Last year, the 27-year-old Korean singer went to the country for two separate occasions.
The first being his solo concert back in March 2023, which was held at the PICC in Pasay City.
The second time was the joint concert that he headlined with EXO member Baekhyun and SOMI at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City in June 2023.
BI began his career in 2009 after featuring in MC Mong’s ‘Indian Boy.’
He then went on to debut as part of iKON’s original line-up in 2015, and became key to the group’s successful hits like ‘Rhythm Ta,’ ‘#WYD,’ and the 2018 smash K-pop hit ‘Love Scenario,’ which also helped him win the Songwriter of the Year award at the MelOn Music Awards that year.
In 2019, he departed from the group amid a controversy.
In 2021, he returned to the limelight as a soloist, and has since released albums ‘Waterfall,’ ‘To Die For,’ extended plays ‘Cosmos,’ and two parts of ‘Love or Loved,’ — the second part of which was released last November 2023.
