Apparently, Mnet's hasn't given up on Kingdom (not that I thought they would after all that fanfare), and they actually managed to get IKon to participate.
At this point, I think iKon is seriously gonna amass the record for the "group with most survival programs".
While I do think this is a win on Mnet's part (iKon isn't a small group no matter what anyone says, even if they've taken a hit being locked in a dungeon for like 2 years now), I have mixed feeling about iKon's participation: this could propel them up again, but I think there were other things YG could do to strengthen them. Things that didn't involve another freakin survival program.
Though, it could be a good opportunity to showcase what they're all about without Hanbin.
(And, in any case, they are a much more interesting option than 2/3 of the groups people speculated about).
Any Ikonics around here? What do you guys think?
PS. Apparently, BTOB is also in talks (and considering their recent scandal they might want to utilize the opportunity). This Kingdom thing may actually participate to be Kingdom and not just mid-tier groups competing with each other.
