YG Entertainment shared a music video teaser for iKon's third mini-album "I Decide" with the song "Dive" on 3 February after a series of photo teasers with all six members featuring orange and black concepts for the comeback. The album's main idea, "I Decide", is about enthusiasm and the willingness to determine as well as devote yourself to the way you should go.

The video, which shows the band's members walking against the backdrop of a red sky and a tense sound with an echo, catches one's attention by representing iKon's true aura. The full MV will be out on 6 February, together with the release of the album.
The album will consist of a total of five tracks and in four of them B.I is credited as a composer. This will be the first release after the second EP "New Kids: The Final" in 2018 without B.I, who left the group and agency due to allegedly taking drugs. Nevertheless, the former member participated in producing the upcoming album and it was ready before B.I's departure. The agency and members decided not to cut out the parts with B.I due to the efforts put into the album not only by him as a composer, but by all the others, too.
Despite the agency's decision to leave the former member in the credits, some fans are dissatisfied with this.
"PARTICIPATED" i know for sure B.I made that album but YG is a rat so i think they tried to edit the song to fit with the 6 members.

I'm still mad & sad but at least they are giving Hanbin credits HE DESERVE 😒
ps; the logo is ugly & too common
seven slashes is superior 👑

I think YG doesn’t have to come out with these statements. I think every iKONICs know that the songs in this new mini album are made by Hanbin. The only thing that YG needs to do is to give him a proper credit. That’s it. iKONICs will be happier with the credits. https://t.co/d3oqh0Hueq

At the same time, there are fans who fully intend to support them at all costs.
Hanbin is a genius! I can’t wait to hear the song! It doesn’t sound like it’s going to be country/hip hop but it will be. Y’all better stay tuned and check out iKON’s comeback on the 6th! #iKON_iDECIDE #iKON_DIVE pic.twitter.com/bEWP2KYXhz
