WINNER talks about their future songs, iKON, and their dream dates



"Our first album had a lot of songs that were sentimental and emotional so we're currently working on making songs that are more exciting and powerful.  We're just starting to wrap up our album promotions.  There will be more chances for us in the future to perform on stage."

When asked about their thoughts on iKON's upcoming debut, WINNER replied, "It's thrilling.  Whenever we look at them, they're like a mirror that Winner can look back on and reflect upon." 

They shared their dream dates listing, "Maldives, Sapporo, a spontaneous trip, a trip for broke people..."

1. [+673, -55]  iKON and Winner in YG.  Having both of them in the same company makes me happy as fan ㅋ

2. [+622, -49]  Both iKON and Winner will definitely become big as they work in harmony.  Can't wait

3. [+485, -38]  Wishing for both of their success!!!!!

4. [+463, -45]  I like both iKON and Winner....... my wallet's slowly opening up

5. [+405, -74]  Seunghoon you're so handsome!  Come and be noona's 

6. [+246, -10]  I worked as an assistant staff a few months ago to help with filming.  There was a time where I worked alongside Winner and they did their greetings so diligently.  They said thank you for even the smallest things and helped with the clean-up afterwards.  There wasn't much for me to do because of their help.  I thought they would be snobby and cold since they're from a big company and have had a lot of experience with filming but they're honestly nothing like that.  I'm not supposed to write this sort of stuff but I'm doing this anyway for the first time.  I'm wishing for their continued success.  There's no way that these kind of kids won't succeed.  They're a group that I'd like to have a chance to work with again

7. [+160, -4]  Winner has this star quality 

8. [+158, -5]  A powerful and exciting song? ㅎㅎ I'm looking forward to anything Winner does

9. [+143, -8]  Winner makes you anticipate them more and more!  Will support you 'till the end!

10. [+136, -4]  There's no member that gets left behind.  My eyes are drawn to each and every one of them.  Yang Hyun Suk has an eye for matching people together

So true. Winner is such a well-balanced group... dunno about the last part of this comment though (reference: MIX & MATCH) but yeah Yang CEO's been doing a great job so far so we'll see

duck said...

YG needs to stop shoving ikon questions into EVERY Winner article/interview that comes out. It's so obvious. It's not even about the WIN experience anymore, it's just plain mediaplay and tbh, most ICs are tired of it.

guest said...

Of course you would assume YG shoved and iKon question in. Winner genuinely likes iKon and ICs really need to stop complaining about every little thing its far more annoying then the mediaplay

titan-kun said...

I wanna give that person a kiss & hug lol

hannaxxy said...

I honestly think Winner will become big.... Can't wait to see more from them. Hopefully they won't have such long periods between each comeback;;;;;; 3420994034_00fb4580_EB8BA4EAB099EC9DB4W.gif

cheyanne said...

Get that love Winner!!stay humble!!the way how Knetz love you hopefully yg can see that and appreciate you more...

-- said...

iKON wishing you all the success and supporting you in every step.

Millie said...

We will only have to endure it until Ikon debuts 😏😏

titan-kun said...

Yg...IC get the notice. iKON is great rme. Once is ok but to ask that every single time? This is me when i read that lol Im more interested to know what WINNER thought bout their sunbaes though.

hannaxxy said...

I don't think it's entirely YG doing that. I feel like it's also the journalists who want a little bit more publicity for their article by asking these sort of questions and then allowing them to use both WINNER and iKON's names in the title of the article... iKON was only asked once for the whole interview and yet their name was used in the title..... that's just how the media works

gummyb3ar said...

In almost every interview for the past year, WINNER has been asked about Team B/IKON. Sure, it might be expected since they competed against each other and are from the same company, but it has become a bit excessive. Sorry, I don't want to keep reading about WIN or how fond WINNER are of the other boys. Sometimes they spend more time talking about the others than they do themselves. That's no no.

HaileyLove said...

Can't wait for their future songs. Taehyun is wrecking up my bias list. Again. Lol. Let's support iKon and Winner. These kid are talented. :)

titan-kun said...

I dont hate iKON really. Who would hateba group that have Bobby? But this shoving to your face kind of approach is such a turn off

Kpopismylife2010 said...

I really like Winner. On Win I was Team B biased from the beginning but after my team lost I decided to give Winner a chance and I fell in love.Seeing their fans being annoying when it comes to Ikon is really upsetting. It's almost like IC are never going to give Ikon a chance they are just going to continue to blame everything on them. I wish more IC were more supportive of Ikon like Ikon fans are supportive of winner. We are all apart of YG family so there is no need to fight. Peace and Love

Haha said...

Can ICs and ikon fans get along?? Instead of being bitter that one groups doing something the other isnt, can't we just genuinely support them as friends from the same company? Is that so hard?

Hallie said...

Get in line... Gosh, I've been here since Kpop star

Hallie said...

I also feel uncomfortable just to think about it as an IC. Please.. not sure it's YG's responsibility though... Whoever wants to put these things up, please stop.

Hallie said...

'cause they are boys over flowers xD

JJ said...

They put a question in about both teams to get more clicks for their articles. Assuming YG's bias is effecting every article and every journalist is really just silly. I'm also not sure why one question out of the many questions they asked becomes such a problem. When iKon debuts they will have questions about WINNER as well

duck said...

it's obvious that it's mediaplay when YG pre-screens the interview questions (as any company would for a rookie group) and EVERY DAMN INTERVIEW asks them about ikon, what they think of ikon, how they feel about SMTM, etc.... It's not about disliking their friendship, it's not about ICs vs. ikon stans, it's about a sense of respect for the group who has debuted, moving on and letting Winner discuss their careers without mentioning one specific group (that JUST had their lineup settled?) Obviously the two groups will be tied together and compared for life but I think it's time to let Winner answer some new questions....there's lots of things I'd rather hear them talk about then what they think of ikon.

duck said...

I'm not sure if you understand the way korean companies work and that no interviewer has direct access to a rookie group to ask questions freely...representatives and staff from the company is always there, reporters are often given a list of questions they *can* ask, and most of the time all questions need to be pre-screened (as to not as ask anything too risque or something that would cause a scandal.) So perhaps I'm wrong and YG isn't "feeding" reporters these questions...well the company is approving them which is basically the same thing. I think that needs to be clear. So frustration with YG is seemingly justified by some of us.

guest said...

Rookie groups always answer the same questions or similar questions. Exo's been answering the same questions forever.

Hallie said...

Well said. Let's not forget about the reporters too. It's like benifits to both sides.

duck said...

I'm not trying to start anything big here but it's completely unbalanced of you to say that ikon fans support winner and winner fans don't support ikon...I see quite more of the latter tbh. Everyone sees what they want too and is exposed more to their bias groups of course, but I've noticed a large amount of Winner hate accounts created on twitter by ikon stans tbh...

Millie said...

U must haven't seen the hate Winner got after Win finale...

Butter Bacon said...

I honestly hope they do not come out with something that's all swagger. It's nice having a yg group that's accessible. They're at their best, in my opinion when they do things like that officially missing your cover they did during Win.

And thank you YG, for making sure your people know how to show proper respect to anyone.

swinter101 said...

Big Bang, 2ne1 had to go through the same process this is how they market their artist there is nothing wrong with it. It actually also help with Winner image because it shows they are not arrogant winners

Millie said...

Well, few interviews => no big deal
Every freaking one => no thanks

gummyb3ar said...

Sorry mate. I never mentioned YG, his supposed bias, or this being the case with "every article." Your eyes must be tricking you. I merely expressed my distaste of the others being brought up in the majority of their interviews. I'm sure IKON will be asked about WINNER as well, but I'd be against that as well. If it becomes overdone like it has with WINNER, I'd also wish they'd stop being questioned about WINNER too.

If you don't feel the same way and think it's no big deal, that's absolutely fine. Different opinions and feelings are actually ok to have, don't you think?

titan-kun said...

IA with you but while its true that few might be ikon stans but some are not even a fan of ikon. i read one account praising ikon to heaven then bash/insult winner saying winner are famous because winner rip their shirt and all. I lol until i feel empty inside LMAO that person obviously got Winner & iKON mix up. So I believe its legit to say those people are not fan for either of them. Troll love to stir shit & its working :/

swinter101 said...

You do know how winner debut right?? Of course they are going to talk about it, even BB had to talk about their show when they debut. For 2ne1 it about being called the female BB and how GD was their producer.

Millie said...

Ah that's why I said fews are ok =.= oh well, that's how I feel, if u do not agree then it's ok

chyeah said...

Ive liked seunghoon since he was born! (Lol im joking and besides im a mino stan, but seunghoon is gorgeous and precious sob sob)

duck said...

it's hard to wrap my head around the difference though - you're talking about a newly debuting group (like 2ne1) being asked about their seniors...that seems like a legit question. But when you continuously ask a new group about what are technically the trainees at their company...that's frustrating. There's a big difference. I see your point and I'm not saying I don't see some validity in it...there's always going to be comparisons and inner-company "family" talk...and yes the teams competed together. But ikon still hasn't debuted. Winner answering questions about the seniors in their company makes wayyyy more sense to me than this. I see your point about it not making them seem like "arrogant winners" but it's been addressed. Enough times.

Amanda Rachel said...

I don't think it's YG but I'm very pissed with the journalists that keep asking bout either Team B, Double B or iKON quests in 'every single WINNER interviews'. Why can't they focus only on WINNER for just once. They have to understand not all fans like both group. I bet next year will be iKON time to get this kind of thing from the journalists.

forreal. unlike Double B & the Chipmunks...

Avinnn said...

YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID BUT NEW HAIRSTYLES IS A NO NO FOR NAMSONG

Namtae and Mino better keep their hair as is because it looks fab right now and it's kind of like their signature hairstyle (especially Namtae omg 5:5 hair part). People have been saying that Hoon looks good in blonde which is meh okay. Seungyoon should have his hair like in his Stealer mv and Jinwoo should just spike his hair up like when he met GD in Winner TV.

Hallie said...

That boy is MINE, too

OMG, are you me?

Guest said...

??????
ikon fans are not supportive of Winner. Dont delude yourself. The ones that support both are the OT11 clan, and by definition they support BOTH, which is not "ikon fans supporting Winner."

Im always amused when Bstans portray their fandom as a poor victim that never does anything rude. Selective reading indeed LOL

*****
WINNER looks like perfection as usual in this photoshoot <3 And of course they are really humble and sweet. WINNER LETS GO UP.

bndeuij said...

He is my bias!!get that love Lee Seung Hoon! >3<

JME said...

is that comment really necessary?

babypotato said...

No it's not that hard. I am fine with both of teams. I consider myself an IC tho. I never like team b from the start and don't feel like need to like them even now. And note to my IC chingudeul, even you don't like iKon doesn't mean you need to hate them and nagging over and over again. As long as both teams produce good songs. That's what really matter.
And dear ICs please don't care too much of YG too biased towards iKon or else. We need to trust Winner is going to be big.
I trust them!

tbvh said...

kinda hard to ignore it when the headlines on this WINNER article (now picked up on soompi, akp and other international news outlets) is all about ikon. That's what fans have a problem with. The article asks them about their music direction and what style they like to go in and the new album and the headline most are using: WINNER'S THOUGHTS ON IKON (which was a sentence...) Overall it's media bs.

ygBIATCH said...

gahd, why do you always assume that it's a yg doing when an ikon question pops up? i know that the guy's biased as hell but he ain't GOD & he ain't controlling all the medias out there ya know!
i know that it's annoyin, cuz it annoys me too as an IC, but I ain't gonna blame the ahjussi for everything...

ygBIATCH said...

ahhhh i can't wait for winner's comeback & ikon's debut >< both will gonna slay my poor soul TAT

R.Thompson said...

Kin woo is looking like a 90's kid.. Love it

Stardust said...

I think those journalists aimed for controversial moments .. Like maybe they want to find winner's bitterness or jealousy or maybe bitching about iKON and made headlines about it .. Boo, they're targeting the wrong people ... Don't be pissed pls, boys answsers were awesome and sincere as always ..

Hyottie said...

Is that taehyun that seunghoon's kissing? lol

Millie said...

Let avoid insulting each other

guest said...

i'm Jinwoo biased but when I saw Hoon in person, dang that eyes nose lips
