6 songs fans wish to hear on iKON's festival setlist

The recent iKON festivals familiarized us with iKON's usual, almost traditional setlist, mainly composed of their hit songs SINOSIJAK, RHYTHM TA, B-DAY, BLING BLING, FREEDOM, and LOVE SCENARIO, with the newest addition BUT YOU we just discovered as the perfect song for encore. While these songs are well loved and are perfect for festivals for its fun and energetic sound, but fans can't help but to wish for spice and a little change to the setlist, especially as there are songs that haven't been performed live since and songs that we haven't heard live for a while and are deeply missed, and some others just have their own personal favorites. This only proved iKON's discography is an entire gem. As such, fans took social media to express what these songs are which we compiled in this list.


1. DRAGON

The song we can label as the most requested, DRAGON easily became the crowd's favorite with its hard, majestic sound which is identical to the colors of iKON who are as strong, rock-solid, and as fiery as a dragon making iKON the dragons of the industry. A flex song if listened to well, DRAGON surely makes us feel indestructible with every listen making it seem that we can fly and ascend to the sky as if we have strong wings like dragon's, making it the perfect hype song on any festival stage. Bobby deserves to be called a genius for how a masterpiece DRAGON is.


2. AT EASE

Why festivals need AT EASE in its setlist is because it's a song that can make us and any concert grounds burn in endorphin and energy just like how its lyrics go. AT EASE is another hip-hop track from iKON distinguished by its hard rap verses and rap-like singing. AT EASE is this iKON song that may not be an actual crowd's favorite but is proven to be 100 times better when heard live, which deserves every chance for a live stage. If we are being honest, even if you can't find yourself an AT EASE enthusiast the live version (especially the live band) just slaps hard, making it deserving to be on this list.


3. AH YEAH

Another hip-hop track, AH YEAH is the song needed to fuel that adrenaline rush and fire a concert ground needs. The song started with a brusque percussion that eventually rolled to a more rock-ish sound, making it another member of iKON's hip-hop hype tracks playlist. AH YEAH sits with RHYTHM TA and BLING BLING as that song that best describes hiphopkon.


4. FOR REAL?

Festivals don't only need hype party songs but also soft-tempo tracks which we have FOR REAL? as iKON's newest representative of the genre. A soft hip-hop track, FOR REAL? has the same genre as LOVE SCENARIO and MY TYPE which as a festival setlist provides that quick refreshment and a breath of fresh air.


5. FLOWER

FLOWER is also a good choice for a festival setlist for that dose of ballad and serenade. A truly fan-favorite, FLOWER showcases iKON's emotional vocals and skillful blending, perfectly capturing the emotions needed by the song as well as the hearts of iKONICs. FLOWER also marks the debut of Donghyuk as a songwriter and producer which makes this song extra special.


6. WORLDWIDE

Might not be a total fan request, but I'm also a fan and WORLDWIDE makes me specifically jealous of jkonics for this exclusivity, as WORLDWIDE can only be heard at Japan concerts. The electronic-dance track noise music, as the title suggests, is a declaration of world domination done in a funky way. Regardless, with the song's essence, we can all agree that iKON needs to release an English version of this and declare world dominance in the universal language.

This is only a comprehensive list, and I'm sure iKONICs has personal favorites they wish to hear that is not on this list. This drives us to the conclusion that the only way to hear our own favorites is through a 3-hour-long or more iKONCERT. 

So, iKON world tour when?
