South Korean artiste B.I is set to captivate audiences with his first solo concert in Malaysia on June 30.

The B.I 2024 Hype Up tour will begin at 6pm at Mega Star Arena in Kuala Lumpur.

B.I, whose real name is Kim Han-bin, gained recognition after debuting as the leader of K-pop boy band iKON in September 2015 but left the group in 2019.

In 2021, B.I debuted as a soloist under the label 131, which he also founded, with the album Midnight Blue (Love Streaming). Proceeds from the album were channeled to World Vision to support children in crisis.

With two studio albums and four EPs under his belt, B.I has staged headlining tours from Asia and Europe and performed at major music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Rolling Loud.

In 2022, B.I's collaboration with American rapper Soulja Boy and South Korean artiste DeVita, BTBT, was named by Time magazine as one of the best K-pop songs of 2022.

A talented songwriter and producer, B.I has over 100 songs registered under his name in the Korea Music Copyright Association.
