Is it safe to say the name Bobby is more popular now than iKON?

he is a little more well known in certain hip hop scenes, but neither him or ikon are in a place where they could be considered successful since they don't chart and barely sell

Yes.

he was super popular predebut

Let's see lol

well yes probably

Maybe. I hear the name Bobby more than I heard B.I and someone has to have name recognition in the group lol.
