iKON just released their debut half album and it's already explosively popular, just like their warm-up single. So it seems like the public can't help but compare the rookie group to their popular sunbae group Big Bang.
Recently Yang Hyun Suk sat down to talk to Ilgan Sports on how he feels about the comparison.
Yang Hyun Suk said, "Big Bang have steadily put in the effort over the past 9 years to become a top global group, and they are just now enjoying their fruition. You cannot compare iKON with them."
Lastly, he added, "I hope that iKON work even harder and walk the road that their sunbaes have paved for them. But with that in mind, I don't want to give them any excessive burden. Fans would probably feel uncomfortable about the comparisons as well."

He added, "Both teams are in YG Entertainment and there are similar points between them such as that they release self-composed music. So although we're thankful that they're receiving interest, in the perspective of the producers, the fans, and the members, the comparison is uncomfortable. I think that kind of comparison or competition is unnecessary and not right."
