iKON Under Fire For 'Rhythm Ta' Lyrics That Criticize Other Idols

While most people are very pleased with iKON's official debut, others think the rookie group may have gone too far with some of their lyrics.

According to reports, iKON is under fire for some of their lyrics in their recent single "Rhythm Ta." Specifically, some netizens are calling them "careless" for saying that other idol groups are unlike them and tend to cause "problems."

The lyrics of the song in question are as follows: "We're not picky. About the time and place for instance. We're not pretentious. Idols are problems these days."

In response to the lyrics, some K-pop fans online felt the group was too new to make such a bold statement.

"They shouldn't be like this already," said one commenter (via Allkpop).

Perhaps the lyrics in "Rhythm Ta" are no surprise considering member Bobby's previous lyrics during his time on "Show Me the Money 4." According to Soompi, Bobby came under some fire for talking negatively about idol rappers who lack talent.

Despite the minor fire for the "Rhythm Ta" lyrics, iKON's debut half-album "Welcome Back" is otherwise being met with enthusiasm. "Rhythm Ta" in particular topped 11 international iTunes charts upon release on Oct.1. Meanwhile, their other songs "Airplane," "Today," "Welcome Back," "M.U.P," and "My Type" all landed in the top 10 of various digital charts in Korea.

iKON will continue to promote their "Welcome Back" album this week with a performance scheduled for "Inkigayo" on Oct. 4.
