Yang Hyun Suk told Star News on October 22, "After working on the album a bit more as soon as 'MIX & MATCH' ends, iKON will make their official debut this coming January... In the case of WINNER, they prepared a debut album instead of a single, so it took them 10 months after their survival program 'WIN' ended last year to make their debut in August."

The YGE CEO further detailed, "Like how 2NE1 first came out in the past, iKON will make their debut with a single followed by continuous releases of new singles so the time it takes them to prepare for their debut will be less than WINNER's... Another reason that iKON can make their debut soon after 'MIX & MATCH' is because they have B.I, who has already been confirmed as an iKON member and has made a lot of songs up until now... Even after their debut in January, iKON will release as many singles as possible and will have a lot of domestic activities throughout the year."

The three members who are currently confirmed to be in iKON are B.I, Bobby, and Kim Jin Hwan. 'MIX & MATCH' will also be holding their final match at Korea University, Seoul today at 8 PM KST.
