iKON delivered a power-packed dance performance during their recent concert in Japan, but it is B.I's on-stage tumble that has gone viral on social media. The idol slipped and fell on stage but fans are going gaga over the way he handled the situation.
The K-Pop group was performing their set during their concert in Japan on Feb. 11, Saturday, when B.I. slipped over his jacket and fell on his back after losing his balance. Slipping and falling on stage would be embarrassing for many, but not for B.I.
Being the true professional that he is, the idol shrugged off the incident like it never happened as he smiled and continued rapping while lying on the stage floor. B.I's fellow group member Bobby TT then came over and started rapping with B.I instead of helping him out. The cool manner in which B.I. handled the fall now has the fans going crazy.
While some lauded B.I's speedy reaction and smoothness, some sang praises of his on-stage chemistry with Bobby TT. Some netizens even went as far as saying that the slip and fall was scripted and part of the choreography.
Thankfully, the idol was not hurt by the fall. In September, B.I was forced to miss out a couple of performances during iKON's Japan tour after suffering an injury, Hello Kpop reported.
B.I. faced a lot of backlash from fans at the time of his debut. Netizens expressed their anger over B.I's father's embezzlement charges that destroyed several families across Korea. In 2014, B.I's father was found guilty of misappropriating funds and giving false information in the stock market, according to Koreaboo. His father, Kim Jung Joo, had embezzled funds to the tune of $2.1 million USD, prompting netizens to protest against B.I's debut because of his father's past crimes.
