iKON parted ways with longtime agency YG Entertainment in late December. At the time, YG Entertainment announced that the agency and group had “mutually agreed” to end iKON’s exclusive contract, following a “long and careful discussion” with the group’s members.

The following month, iKON signed with 143 Entertainment. According to News1, iKON are reportedly preparing to release a new album in April. Neither iKON nor 143 Entertainment have yet to confirm or deny these reports.
