15 Photos of iKON Heating up the GUDFEST Stage, Looking Cool Even Without Hanbin (B.I)

Performing with six members, K-Pop boyband iKON remained powerful on the stage of GudFest 2019 on the first day, Saturday (11/2/2019) at the Helipad Parking Ground Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Senayan, Jakarta.

Hysterical screams from thousands of predominantly young female spectators erupted when Bobby, Donghyuk, June, Jinhwan, Chanwoo, and Yunhyeong greeted their iKONIC fans who had come to the concert area since the afternoon.

Jinwan also greeted his fans. "Jakarta, are you all ready?" he exclaimed.

The song Sinosijak opened the performance of the South Korean boy band at around 10:00 PM WIB.

As iKONIC sang the opening song, they were immediately greeted by a sea of red lightsticks in front of the stage.

Killing Me and Rhythm Ta are the next songs they perform. Without being commanded, the fans immediately shout fanchant, which is a special greeting shouted by fans when their idol's song is played.

Being present without Kim Hanbin or B.I, their leader who left a few months ago, does not make the other six members lose their fangs.

They still energetically perform Love Scenario, Jerk, and Dumb and Dumber.

"This is our last song. We have to have fun until it's over! Who has a water bottle?," Bobby asks while raising a bottle of mineral water. Then Bobby and his friends pour water onto the audience when the song Happy Birthday plays.

"Darkness enveloped the concert area, as the stage lights went out, iKON members bid farewell to the audience.

As if unwilling to part, the iKONIC fans shouted "We want more! We want more!".

"We don't want to leave now. Do you guys feel the same?" said Jinhwan from behind the stage. The lights were turned back on as the iKON members returned to the stage.

Don't Let Me Know became the last song they performed in the first appearance of iKON boyband without Hanbin, which had shaken the K-Pop world.

Although only performing 9 songs, iKONICs looked very happy and satisfied with their idol's performance that night.

In addition to iKON, the first day of GUDFEST 2019 was also enlivened by performances from Marion Jola, Dizkorea, Sir Dandy, Denisa, Oslo Ibrahim, Syahravi, Playlist, and the British band, New Hope Club.

Indeed, iKON's performance was highly anticipated by their fans. Some even came early in the morning for their idol.

The sacrifices of the iKONICs who queued since early morning were finally paid off when they saw their extraordinary idol's performance.

Not only watching Bobby iKON and the others perform, but iKONICs also hunted for freebies prepared by the fanbase.

Interestingly, there are also iKONICs from Japan who came to GUDFEST. They don't mind the distance as long as they can meet their idols.

It turns out that iKON is happy to be back in Indonesia. They feel like Indonesia is already their home.

"Thank you for your love, thank you," Bobby said goodbye to the iKONICs before singing his last song at GUDFEST.
