Yang Hyun Suk feels sorry to Winner fans for short Korean promotions


"Yang Hyun Suk sees Winner as the middle child and feels sorry to their fans for short Korean promotions and focusing on overseas activities + promises that they will focus their promotions in Korea early next year."

1. [+1144, -116]  A lot of people are interested in Winner because they don't seem like they're from YG, most of them are publicly known, and they appear a lot more approachable.  It shows with the high quality of their debut album and all of the members have great talents.  To wrap it up, the five members make such a balanced group.

2. [+848, -128]  I almost threw up my breakfast after reading the title.  Why does he keep sending out new people when he can't even properly take care of the groups he has now?  Release a Big Bang album and promote Winner in Korea more.  Even if you don't make as much money here in Korea, at least let their faces be on TV often if you're going to keep media playing about them being monster rookies.  It's such a waste that only the fans know about Winner's success.  Spread great things about them.

3. [+728, -93]  Sorry?  Stop talking about other things and let Winner promote all year round since you know, they debuted first.

4. [+639, -50]  I truly hope that YG's words are sincere.  YG's words and actions have hurt me on more than one occasion as a Winner fan ㅋ But it's a relief that at least he knows about it.    Please take care of your company's artists properly and I hope you will do well.

5. [+490, -54]  How are their promotions already over, WINNER!

6. [+199, -18]  Sucks for Winner fans ㅠㅠ  They thought they would debut right away but they ended up debuting after 10 months.  They waited for them anxiously but when they finally debuted, they focused in Japan.  Now they thought they were going to promote in Korea more often but their promotions have finished.  It really sucks for Winner and Big Bang's fans who are forever waiting for an album...

7. [+171, -19]  I feel bad for Winner...  their fans are nice and hard-working if you take a look at their gallery... I hope they do better...

8. [+147, -13]  As a group, Winner gives off a warm feeling... I wish they would promote more often.   They have a lot of fans of all ages and gender!!  Winner fighting!

9. [+ 146, -12]  Let Winner promote more!  I want to see them.  You call this a promotion after their debut?  Let them promote for a year

10. [+149, -17]  Winner is one of those rare groups among idols with great talent and visuals.   They all have good, tall figures if you look at the photoshoots they've taken.  They're all visually appealing and their live singing on stage is incredible...  they've gained a lot of fans ㅋㅋㅋ I hope they let Winner promote more.

I listened to Winner's album for the first time two weeks ago and I honestly loved it. I wasn't expecting anything as I was not an avid fan or viewer of the shows YG releases on them but their music is pleasant. Others might think it might sound like Bigbang because they are in YG but its not. Kang Seung Yoon's voice is lovely. Their group has so much potential to be a top group cause from what I heard from their album, I am sure going to listen in their next releases. :)

Mr. Yang

cheyanne said...

See even knetz really feels that winner promotions are too short!!and knetz comments are all about Winner!!

beachplease said...

yg should put more effort and trust in winner. they are super talented but get the short end of the stick. theyre not promoted that well compared to other groups and only their own fans know their worth and true ability. their album was great, but i believe that they have more to show. sucks because they dont have a bunch of recognition overseas [international fans]

blah blah said...

Blah blah blah

hahahaha said...

Hahaha

koo said...

YG should just shut up tbh lol... How about you DO instead of TALK

Amanda Rachel said...

"promises that they will focus their promotions in Korea early next year."



Where & when will you put WINNER when you have iKON (January if not delay), YG new gg (forever uncertain), BIG BANG comeback (how we all wish will become reality) . All we need is ACTIONS not some spit words. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Millie said...

how about you shut the fuck up YG, ugh,
make me want to hit somebody whenever I see your face GDI

titan-kun said...

Taehyun is my bias but Im in love with KSY. I listen his solo more than Winner songs lol KSY voice is just wonderful you can listen to it everyday. KSY is a natural born artist. A truly gifted artist imo

Stardust said...

hmm .. YG's early next year means summer or autumn I guess ... KSY, Mino, Namdiva .. we're counting on you guys .. please make it happen sooner !!

titan-kun said...

People were just flipping mad. It somehow have reverse effect on iKON. The more YG promote iKON, the demand somehow back to WINNER. I pity those iKON boys since they receive hates when they do nothing wrong. They deserve a debut since they train and work hard for it but YG favoritism is revolting and just annoyed the existing fandom. I also dont like how he blatantly compete them head to head. He successfully create hype for both team but the fandoms are a mess.

titan-kun said...

I-netz prefer fast track songs so yeah...

Amanda Rachel said...

It's all YG fault. He should have made a program like One Day (2AM&2PM) then the fandoms will never argue.

ykrunkg said...

There's so much more to come from WINNER and so much more things they haven't even experienced yet. Stop being so hung up on their debut as being like the only chance they're going to get. What do you want them to do? Publish articles and articles and articles of their success? Why do you get so angry when y'all have all the receipts and screenshots of their more than successful debut? to reassure yourself? They're so busy and have so many things lined up. Enjoy WINNER and their songs. They have a lot more opportunities that will be given to them in the future.

titan-kun said...

i honestly hope the fanwars to stop. its mad and stressful tbh

ykrunkg said...

No. YG isn't responsible for fans' bitterness. Fans should take responsibility for their own actions.

Riyadh Prawiryo Att said...

One day IKON will debut i think YG will forget about winner

seungyoonfan said...

crocodile tears!

whatever1234 said...

What do we want? YG posted CL's SIA performance, so we want that of Winner's as well. YG posted Epik High's Sketchbook appearance, so we want that of Winner's as well. YG posted Bobby's featuring on the Nylon magazine, so we hope that he would at least post one of Winner's featuring (ELLE, Bazaar or Star1, heck anyone is fine).


The thing is, we are not asking YG to give Winner special treatment. The only thing we ask for is for him to treat them just as well as how he treats his other artists. That isn't too much, is it?


And yes, while we are at it, he should also stop shading Winner. And posting article about winning not just any random poll, but a freaking SIA is not just for assurance. It's the acknowledgement we think Winner deserves.


So yea, we know Winner still has a long way to go. But that doesn't mean they should be deprived of the proper treatment they deserve. Unless you are a member of this fandom, I don't think you will truly understand.

Millie said...

i'm sick tired of the outer circle telling us what to do and what not
like it's not even their freaking business, we complaint about YG, is that what concerns them, because we are throwing shit left and right to their "papa YG" and asking for a FAIR treatment for Winner?

day said...

i love winner..n i feel worry over them since WIN...

Ri said...

Agreed. YG never told the fans to eat each other alive

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

you do realize that these comments were probably written by winner fans?

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

Guys, they might have had a short promo cycle- but it was pretty successful. I'm in Korea right now, and all of Sep- all you could hear was WINNER (The whole album). Now, not so much. The only ones that I frequently still hear are Empty, Don't Flirt, and I'm Him. Right now Seoul is obsessed with Epik High and IU.

lmao said...

then where are ikon fans when they are mentioned 11 times in the same article?

bunnsky said...

I don't want to start a fanwar. I just have this thought after reading many winner's article and k-netizen comment about that. And many "not winner fans" write a good thing about them. Remember the comment when winner appeared in weekly idol? They said they're just passing by and start to like winner more than exo.

ykrunkg said...

If that's how you feel, I would never understand.

Kpopismylife2010 said...

And there it is. I was just waiting for some winner fan to bring up Ikon. And here we are~

PurpleDEE said...

do i hear sourgraping from you?

PurpleDEE said...

that's why yg needed to promote ikon more cuz they don't leave a mark...

PurpleDEE said...

but the public won't cuz WINNER's got more in them than the mismatched ikon ^^

PurpleDEE said...

cuz the promo was cut short...that's why yg evilly planned to have his next team promote for a year to ensure their stability but cut short WINNER's cuz he knows they'll outshadow his favored 1's team.

commedesfuckdown said...

Ikon has to debut, and Bigbang needs to comeback. Winner isn't the only artist in YG. They literally just finished album promotion and concert tour, they're probably preparing for the year end shows now. Boys gotta rest a little after new year, and they can go back to new album.

Kaila said...

*rolls eyes* you better Do what you say tho. I'm tired of your incessant trolling

Mushie said...

why you gotta hate on ikon though? like those kids went through hell and are still going through it and yet they keep getting backlash? they haven't even debuted. can't we all just be nice and chill the fuck out. like whats the use in being mean? they're like brothers and everyone needs to stop acting so petty. if you're actually hating on either or group then you clearly spend way too much time online and need to go out, get some fresh air and maybe indulge in getting a life.

Camilla Emanuella Sembiring said...

just shut up YG just shut up
I also love iKon,really, but just shut the hell up YG!
Give WINNER proper attention first and then you can do all things that you like with iKon!

ykrunkg said...

lmao I've been a YG stan since like 2NE1 lollipop days, pretty sure I've been there since the beginning of WIN. I just don't understand, I can empathize but I would never understand.

Ugh said...

It's useless for him to apologise only after everything is said and done. I don't blame WINNER fans for being angry, anyone can see they have the potential to be so much bigger, but are being limited by the fact that they're not being promoted very well at all.

R_Ic said...

CL is so beautiful 😍

myopinion said...

YG bitch. I fucking hate him. I want more WINNER! There are lottttss of good articles about winner but YG fuck never post em officially. Soorry guys, im so emo now! this is all too late! i am expecting winner on running man or more tv appearance and talk show. YG damn bias.

Amanda Rachel said...

I feel sorry for some YG stans who followed every words that YG said like they don't have any right to voice out something. Sorry, but for me, I'm spending my money, so I have the right to ask for a better treatments & managements for my YG artists. & we ask to the right person that is YG not to SM or to any other company.

Millie said...

well the article itself has like a dozen of "ikon" in it, it's not like we bring the name up out of nowhere
CL tho ... <3

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

naw, just a realist. Yall need to keep that in mind. I guess, take these comments with a grain of salt.

taibangle said...

just to preface this, i am a winner-stan.


but at least on the web front, yg's been acknowledging winner as much as the rest. they really only post official links to extra content, lol. they posted winner's sia perf and elle/bazaar bts vids on the days they were uploaded. bobby's nylon photoshoot was mentioned because nylon uploaded an fb album with extra pics. elle, bazaar, star1 didn't. if there isn't any extra content, they don't mention it. like there wasn't a post about CL's dazed and confused photoshoot either since there's no official web-content for it.

I'm the Best said...

That's the purpose of the news article. It's a form of public relations using communication with an intended message for an target audience. I'm sure YG's professional PR team keep tract of the responses as a criteria in formulating their next strategy. The responses will give them an idea of what's the public's (especially the fans) perception of the situation is and if it can be favorably change. This specific news article is to address the issue of "favoritism" among groups in the company and members in the group because it's driving a wedge among fans. And judging from the comments, the level of trust has eroded which is bad news for the PR team.

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

I was referring to the first comment. My point is, don't generalize these comments (that were probably written by WINNER fans) that all k-netz love them. I by no mean am I being negative. I do believe that they are popular. Of course, the amount of upvotes on these top comments proves that they have a good fandom. I don't disagree with you lol.

Michelle9Jaejoong4 said...

I don't get the question. My point is. Don't overgeneralize lol.

rhgoij said...

I just want WINNER thats ALL
Thanks
I will not belive it until I see it

Leasseable Lee said...

you dont know why winner won? because korea loves them!

Leasseable Lee said...

ikon fans are even worst, especially the OT6 or team B fans! They are making their own articles destroying the trainees image just to keep them. they are like the upgraded of EXO-L 2.0!!

Amal Tooq said...

i don't know how to please fans ! if they work too much they blame the company for treating them like slaves and if they don't they whine about not promoting enough . They actually had more promotion than 2NE1 and LeeHi When they first debut, but no one is pleased.

Astoooi said...

Oh, middle child. I hope it isn't a bad thing. Yeah, you know there's a middle child complex *smh*

Blah. said...

Just because someone doesn't like/have interest in ikon doesn't mean they hate ikon #justsaying
