"He showed and had a bad influence on our generation but couldn't stop my love for him. You know, he knows what he did wrong but don't make this kind of competition," continued Bobby.

Bobby feels that BI deserves a second chance because he is a good person. He also admitted that he was annoyed when he found out that BI chose to leave iKON and left them when he was at the peak of popularity.

"I mean, he neglected iKON or me or Chanwoo, DK, Song, Jay, June. but after all the hatred I felt for him, he made that decision because he didn't want to be a burden for iKON," he explained.

I chose to forgive him and show love to my brother. I don't know if we can collaborate but I still love him," he said.

According to him, fans don't need to fight to side with iKON and BI because everyone has their own way. This is Bobby's response to fans who choose OT7 which means iKON with 7 members compared to iKON with 6 members.

She has her own life and iKON has iconics to make them feel love and happy. We do what we do. Love is key to everything," said Bobby.

"Don't make OT7 or OT6 or anything else. I'm not trying to be political. I just want to tell you what I feel. Stop this fight," he said in the comments column.

BI chose to leave iKON on June 12, 2019. It was revealed that he had tried to buy drugs from someone. YG Entertainment denied that they did a urine check every two months.
