Controversy[]
Drug allegations and departure from iKon[]
On June 9, 2019, it was revealed that he had allegedly attempted to purchase marijuana and LSD in 2016 from an undisclosed female dealer. He was also accused of evading police charges.[38] B.I acknowledged the validity of the allegations, explaining that he was going "through a hard and painful time" and wanted something to rely on, but denied taking any drugs.[39][40] Following this, B.I announced his departure from iKon, and terminated his exclusive contract with YG Entertainment. His appearances on television series Law of the Jungle, Grand Buda-Guest, and Stage K were edited out by the networks prior to their broadcast.[41][42][43] The dealer was revealed to be Han Seo-hee, a former female idol trainee, who was involved in drug issues with T.O.P and has received four years of probation in 2017.[44][45] In February 2020, results of a drug test conducted on B.I was released and delivered a negative result. This was after South Korea's Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency sent a sample of Kim's body hair to the country's National Forensic Service for examination and no illegal drugs were detected.[46]
On May 28, 2021, B.I was indicted without detention by the violent crimes department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, for violating the Act on the Control of Narcotics.[47] His first hearing was held on August 27, 2021,[48] where the prosecution demanded a sentence of 3 years in prison, as well as a fine of 1.5 million KRW (approximately $1,300 USD) on the charges of three accounts of illegal marijuana usage and one account of purchasing illegal LSD in 2016. [49] On September 10, 2021, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced B.I to a probationary period of 4 years, including a fine of 1.5 million KRW, 80 hours of community service, as well as 40 hours of drug education courses.[50]
Artistry[]
Musical style[]
B.I's music is generally hip hop, but he also incorporates R&B, pop, soul, and acoustic into his songs.[1] In 2018, B.I opened up about the process behind his songwriting. He admitted, "Because I don't have much experience, I typically draw a lot of my inspiration from movies or dramas. I'm also the type to draw inspiration from things like poetry." He explained, "It's my way of making up for things I'm unable to experience or feel for myself." When asked what type of music he wanted to make, he stated "There are just two things. Music that people can relate to and music that draws imagination. Aside from that, the reason that I compose and make music is simply because it’s fun. My hobby doesn’t feel like work just yet."[51]
Songwriting[]
B.I is credited with writing and composing all the songs in his debut studio album Waterfall and his first single album Midnight Blue (Love Streaming), that he released as a solo artist through 131 Label X IOK Music.
B.I is the former leader of the K-pop group iKon, and is credited with the production and songwriting for all the releases under the group, such as their full-length studio albums Welcome Back and Return, their compilation album The New Kids, as well as their singles and EPs #WYD, New Kids: Begin, New Kids: Continue, Rubber Band and New Kids: The Final. He wrote and composed 4 of the 5 songs in their EP i Decide.
For his work on Return, B.I won Songwriter of the Year at the 10th Melon Music awards, becoming the youngest awardee at the age of 22 and also the only male idol to receive the award. B.I received multiple distinctions due to the immense popularity of iKon's hit single "Love Scenario" including Producer of the Year at the Gaon Chart Music Awards. This success led B.I to become the highest earner through music royalties in 2018. On January 22, 2019, B.I became a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA).[52] As of July 2021, the KOMCA has 75 songs registered under his name.[4]
