Есть по крайней мере две группы с таким названием: 1). Австралийская готик-рок-группа 2). Корейская попcня 1) Ikon является одной из старейших австралийских групп, исполняющих готик-рок. Коллектив был создан в 1991 году на руинах команды Death In The Dark, включавшей вокалиста/гитариста/клавишника Криса МакКартера, бас-гитариста Дино Молинаро и вокалиста Майкла Карродуса. Позже к ним присоединилась барабанщица Маурика Моллелла, вскоре после чего квартет приступил к концертной деятельности по клубам Мельбурна. В 1992 году на собственном лейбле МакКартера, Nile, вышел релиз "Why". В феврале 1993 года Моллелла покинула группу, и очередной сингл "The Echoes Of Silence", изданный также в качестве миньона, пришлось создавать с использованием драм-машины. Вскоре с группой подписал контракт немецкий лейбл Apollyon, выпустивший в 1994 году полноформатный альбом "In The Shadow of The Angel", за которым последовали компиляция ранних композиций "A Moment In Time" и новая студийная работа "Flowers For Gathering". В 1997 году было принято решение отказаться от услуг Карродуса, а все вокальные партии начал исполнять Крис МакКартер. Дуэт записал очень успешный диск "This Quieth Earth", но еще до его выхода об уходе заявил Дино Молинаро, решивший сосредоточиться на своей основной профессии. В 1999 году МакКартер набрал новых музыкантов: гитариста Энтони Гриффитса, ударника Дэвида Бёрнса и басиста Валериоса. К сожалению, по вине менеджмента пришлось отменить запланированный на этот год тур. Тем временем на Apollyon увидел свет сборник "Dawn of the Ikonoclast 1991-1997". После создания сингла "Lifeless", в начале 2000 года, в Ikon вернулся Дино Молинаро. В таком виде квартет реализовал еще несколько синглов и полноформатный альбом "On the Edge of Forever". Группа много гастролирует, причем не только по Австралии - команда с успехом выступает на нескольких европейских фестивалях. В 2004 году ряды коллектива покинул Энтони Гриффитс, сформировавший собственный проект The Redresser. Новым же гитаристом стал Клиффорд Эннис. Еще раньше выбыл Бёрнс, что, однако, не помешало коллективу совершить ряд турне по Европе и записать мини-альбом "Psychic Vampire", а затем и полноформатник "Destroying the World to Slave It", изданный в мае 2005 года компаниями Equinoxe Records для Германии и Static Sky Records для США. В начале 2006 года заявил о своем уходе Эннис, а в турне в качестве гитариста отправился Эштон Корниш. Шестой альбом, "Love, Hate and Sorrow", был выпущен в 2009 году. Чуть позже были отсняты два клипа и один DVD. Были получены лестные отзывы, а фанаты группы называли "Love, Hate and Sorrow" самым мелодичным творением за всю историю коллектива. В 2010 году Ikon набрал самый сильный состав, поскольку вернусь Эннис и Бёрнс. В таком виде коллективом был дан концерт вместе с H.I.M и Christian Death. В честь 20-летия группы был объявлен тур по Европе, а также концерт на фестивале Wave Gotik Treffen. Помимо этого, были переизданы альбомы "Shadow of the Angel" и "Flowers for the Gathering" в формате бокс-сет. Все это было издано на лейбле Echozone. В дальнейшем были переизданы "This Quiet Earth" и "On the Edge of Forever", а в 2012 году состоялся выход нового альбома под названием "Requiem", куда вошли различные ремискы и неизданные треки. 2) iKon (Hangul: 아이콘), stylized as iKON, is a South Korean boy band formed in 2015 by YG Entertainment.
