"B.I. plans to go beyond the 131 label's representative artist and lead the company's vision and direction as a producer in the future," 131Label said on the 28th. "It leads 131LABEL, envisioning not only production but also artist operations in general."
B.I expressed his sincere determination, recalling the past time when he ran with his fans. "Since releasing my first solo album "WATERFALL" on June 1, 2021, there have been many practical difficulties, but thanks to the fans who trust and love my music, I was able to come this far.""I'm here now because I had that time" he said thankfully.
"I've been a solo artist for more than four years, and I've been able to endure through difficult moments because of the fans who have always been around me. "Based on those times, I want to interact with fans deeper and longer through music," he added.
B.I. oversees the planning and production of 131LABEL, and has become a central axis not only as an artist but also as a creative community. In addition to planning to save the artist's color, it will draw the direction of 131LABEL as a brand.
B.I. continues to make a remarkable move as a global artist as well. Starting with Seoul on May 17 last year, he toured major Asian cities such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Macau from June to July last year, and continued to meet with fans in 14 European cities including Berlin, Frankfrut, Vienna, Tilbürch, London and Paris in September and October. And in April this year, the tour was successfully completed in Oceania, including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Auckland. In addition to the world tour, in March, he attended the Global Street Fashion and Culture Festival 'ComplexCon Hong Kong' as a representative Korean artist, further solidifying his position as a global artist.
Meanwhile, B.I. withdrew from iKON in 2019 for drug dosing and terminated his exclusive contract with YG Entertainment?C. The court ordered three years in prison, suspended for four years, 80 hours of community service, 40 hours of medication lectures, and an additional 1.5 million won. However, B.I. has continued its activities without self-reflection, releasing an album six months before the ruling was finalized.
