After the announcement of the arrival of his first child on August 20, 2021, fans of Bobby from iKON have had very little time to process the fact that the 25-year-old rapper and member of iKON will now be a married man and a father. Fans received a hand-written note from Bobby, posted on Instagram, where he revealed his true feelings and what he was going through.

Bobby told iKONICs that he was sorry he was overwhelming them by sharing such a shocking piece of news. He also apologized that as IKON's member, he was unable to tell them any sooner because he was worried how they would react. Bobby then continued that he had decided to tell fans and followers the truth because he felt a strong sense of responsibility to be a good father.

Bobby is finally a father

On September 27, it was revealed that Bobby has welcomed his first child who is a healthy baby. But, as promised, he is handling his fatherhood as a private matter, and he has made no announcements about the gender of the baby. Bobby is reportedly very happy as he welcomed his own child. Bobby has been very public about his love for children, which was made known to fans with the lovely relationship he shared with his nephew from his Instagram posts about the child.
