How Did WINNER Get Such A Powerful Fandom?

1. [+7546, -791]  First of all, their songs are great.

2. [+6463, -443]  All the things they did before debut played a huge part, of course.

3. [+5734, -658]  I wasn't a YG fan but I became one after watching WIN.

4. [+5387, -642]  You just can't stop listening to their songs!

5. [+5060, -688]  'I'M HIM' is daebak!!  It's different from other rappers.  It's so fresh. I'm really looking forward to more from them in the future~  Song Mino, you're the best~

6. [+773, -80]  Stop mentioning EXO on Winner articles...  Do you really have to cause trouble?

7. [+756, -109]  All the members have something special to offer and they all have unique personalities.  They don't have the typical good-looking face rather they look very charming.  It was really cool seeing how they all sincerely ran forward to chase their dreams on WIN.

8. [+737, -126]  Basically, they're hot and have their own definite character.  On top of that, their songs are amazing.  'Empty' is a song that I loved right when I first heard it while 'Color Ring' is a song that I want to keep listening to over and over.  

9. [+688, -85]  They actually had a lot more fans before their debut but because YG kept playing around with their debut date, a lot of them left.  All the fans who stayed by their side for a year are really amazing.

This is so true. The songs haunt you for the rest of the day so you just keep listening to them. Truly a great album. Good Job Winner !!

BUT THEY CERTAINLY ARE CONVERTING A LOT OF FANS NOW AFTER DEBUT.... TO THE "INNER CIRCLE"

I hope they continue to do well. They deserved it.

EE said...

Im actually curious about that!
Considering WINNER style of music is not "typically" YG style, i wonder how many SM, JYP, Cube (etc) fans who don't like YG music are becoming ICs?

rhiaresa said...

WINNER deserves every achievement and recognition they're getting!!~~
And ICs finally have a official light stick...

Anyway, the ones who left are probably back (I hope) or were only there for the initial hype. *shrug*

ninikai said...

It's no joke! I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Because when I stopped listening to it, the songs just keep popping up in my head. And I had to listen to them again. The whole album is an addiction. But it's like I cant skip songs because the album is entirely gold! Bobby and B.I deserve credits too. The title songs were really amazing!

this..some Bigbang or 2NE1 fans that kind attach their song feel not interested in Winner music..not their cup of taste
but in another side..Winner brought new fans from YG by their musics...
so YG didn't lose fans..he gains more fans actually..from another genre music

bitbig2 said...

i hope the W shape has bigger size than the stick...because it just look bit weird with those shape... :(

rhiaresa said...

Yea it looks great with a bigger W

rhiaresa said...

I think so

the accidental pro said...

how many groups use blue as light color? I kinda dont like dark color. Bigbang's yellow lightstick really stand out in kpop concerts and especially MAMA2012 when the fans zone are full of SJ's sapphire blue.

kk said...

+ they are pabos

rhiaresa said...

I think it's just Super Junior but they might add like the word "pearl" to make it a different type of blue.

LOL Yoonie and Jinwoo hyung pic here...aigoo pabogateun leader and mathyung..

soluizb said...

My bb 21 light sticks need to be propped up so definitely appreciate it's ability to stand lol
It kinda looks like a trophy so ++
Kinda look like a champagne glass too. . Classy

just saw a post on AKP, & WINNER has A LOT of fanboys. that's great. that screams more CF's for them because they actually have fans buying their masculine stuff. this is just great but i kinda expected it because their album is pretty masculine or natural.
Female fans adore them & male fans respect them. I think the older fans will come to adore & respect their musicality too, WINNER's future looks EXTREMELY bright from here on. right off the spot, they managed to capture both sexes' attention. YG marketed to perfection here tbh. so few groups can even appeal to both sexes, even girl groups have trouble attracting female fans.
WINNER's bound to walk the same influential path as BB did, the BB fashion, WINNER will follow. I'm not saying they're the same but their ability to appeal to male fans has & will up their influence beyond music & whatnot. both sexes buying their stuff is just great. ahhhh!! I'm excited.

titan-kun said...

I saw the stats. Its more or less 40% male and 60% female fans

macy_12 said...

it's quite impressive that it isn't too lop-sided but somewhat good #'s for both sides.

bitbig2 said...

bigbang's one be stand out because it shape i think...so people easy to recognize those crown shape is belong the kings..hehe...

It was because of Nam Taehyun.

I was a Mino biased at first because basically I thought he was so hot and thought that he was so charming and stuff... but when YG told Taehyun, who used to be that other dude who had a weird hair do in which now I think is totally hot on him, that the way he sings isn't as if he's the lead vocal which in all honesty pissed me off so bad (curse you YG Lol)

When I saw NamTae cry... I was getting teary eyes. You know cuz I get him at that time. That moment where you put your all in to something and then you just get shit on? I felt him... I understood him. I wanted to hug him and protect him. And then I became his fan... I realized how funny he is, how vulnerable he was although his cold feature can be a little deceiving at times, realized how chick he was and yet so clumsy and derpy, how cute he shyly covers that tissue stuck in to his nostrils, how silly and amusing his expresions when he was stirring his food, how sweet and honest his voice is when he sings, how he pour his whole soul in to dancing and in to writing songs. I unconsciously noticed everything and fell in love..

Is it possible to fall in love to an idol? Lol past me would say "Pfft yeah right" but that's the point of the word 'past' I can't say that anymore. I didn't even want to say these things... this is fckn not me Hahah. I didn't want to sound stupid and delulu Hahha. But idk that's just how it is. I'm an Inner Circle because of him.

I grew to love Jinwoo, Kangie, Hoon & Mino (even more) because of him. I would've been a BGold all through out if it wasn't for him, instead I'm a fan of both.

oh

CatTheNappeunGigibe said...

So, I didn't read all of your post (Don't be mad, lol) but I stopped at the part when you said that you used to be Mino-biased and now you are a Nam-Stan. The sane exact thing happened to me.
Mino was all hot and tanned and talented, and then Nam just comes out and stops my heart....... It was all downhill from there.
I was first a VIP, GD-biased. Now I add being a Nam biased IC to my list of YG Family obsessions.

I'm happy i get to know winner.. life is lovely with them around.. i miss them.. looking for their comeback soon..

MMMOO said...

WINNER's album is probably the only album (not counting my goddesses MAMAMOO) that I have on repeat without skipping any song <3

MMMOO said...

actually, in real life it looks better than in pictures. :O
