Bobby enlisted in the military in 2024, leaving fans waiting for his signature raspy flow and high-octane energy. After completing his service and being discharged in December 2025, he didn't waste any time getting back to his roots. His first major appearance took place just days ago at a high-profile club event.

On January 3, 2026, Bobby took the stage at the 'Doberman Party.' Fan-captured videos immediately went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, highlighting his newly buffed-up physique. Netizens noted that the rapper appears to have spent his military service training hard, showcasing broader shoulders and a significantly more muscular build than before his enlistment.

Viral Reactions from the Global Fandom

The reaction from iKONICs (iKON's fans) has been electric. Comments like "He came back hotter, buff & shining" and "The military did him good" have dominated social media trends. The contrast between his pre-enlistment 'youthful' vibe and his current 'mature alpha' look marks a significant turning point in his public image as he enters this new chapter of his career.
