[Instiz] Why Jinwoo drank so much coffee during his trainee days

"Jinwoo always used to either put coffee mix into a tumbler or bought a lot of canned coffee.  But you know that you start to feel a bit sick when you drink too much, right?  So his friends told him to stop drinking that much coffee because they were worried for his health.  
The reason he drank coffee was not only because he needed it due to lack of sleep while practicing... It was because coffee, unlike water or other drinks, made your stomach 'feel full' which allowed him to save the time he could to go eat so he could practice instead.  When people went out to eat, he would stay alone and practice.  When people went home, he'd stay back and still keep practicing [...]"

[1] "Gosh Jinwoo ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Even on 'WIN', he worked so hard to the point that his hyungs and dongsaengs would ask him how he could go on practicing without any sleep ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

[2] "This hurts me ㅠ thank you for debuting"

[3] "(Comments discussing about the source of the post)  I heard it was someone he trained with?"
--> I heard it was from someone he was preparing to take auditions with not someone he trained with

[4] "Jinwoo's just so... when I watched WIN, he always tugged at my heart strings.  I'm so glad things worked out for him"

[5] "Oh Jinwoo... I promise that for all the hardships you've been through, you'll receive double the blessing"

[6] "He's really awesome.  He's so hardworking in life that it makes me question what I'm doing wasting time with mine..."

[7] "I love Winner and I love Jinwoo but I never believe any fan accounts or anecdotes that don't have any proof"

[8] "Winner, please make a comeback already!"

[9] "It seems that a lot of people think Winner members were born with a silver spoon in their mouths but they've gone through a lot to debut ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ"

[10] "That's too badㅜ But that determination to practice is what made him who he is now"

It's not that far from the truth. During WIN, all the members said that jinwoo got the least amount of sleep, he was always the first one to come & last one to leave.

Winner should really have a comeback by now..... sigh YG schedules are so messed up

namutehyon said...

Omg where is this from? I didn't know about this till now. But even if this is not true, I do believe he's the most hardworking and struggling based on WIN.

But at the same time, how can you expect these people to have proof? It's not like they can take photos of Jinwoo and his coffee just in case they need to post proof for when they post a fan-account later on when he gets famous...
Anyway, it's not hard to believe because anyone who knows Jinwoo knows how hardworking he is :( I miss him!!!

Like Seunghoon said "I wasn't born with anything, my weapon is hard work and determination."
Winner is a group of extremely talented individuals. While being in YG gives them some benefits it's foolish and dumb to think that they did not work for it.

Chunny said...

Just watch WIN even he lack than the other member but he really is a hardworking person that's why he can catch the other. I still find him as a mysterious person

cigaretteplease said...

I believe it bec he confessed to putting extra hours in training bec he was scared of getting cut off and also from testaments from KSY etc. This makes so sad. Could it be that it makes him feel full so he can have more time to practice AND also to save money on food? idek

YANOMOM said...

OMG MY PRECIOUS T__________T
he's so hardworking but pls stay healthy~

princekyung said...

I admire his hard work... I hope he takes care of his body now though and has proper meals and sleep!!! It's really important that he does especially how physically draining being an idol is ):

princekyung said...

I thought YG gives them allowances as trainees?? :(

princekyung said...

apparently it's an account from someone who used to know him when he was training/practicing? Im not sure

kwonpearlee said...

Imjado baby ㅠㅠ

cigaretteplease said...

most probs the company gives them allowance but somehow i have the impression of jinwoo scrimping on money so he can have extra for training clothes and shoes to keep up with others. lolz what is this fan fiction bs

Mr. Kanji said...

Wasn't Jinwoo the longest trainee in their batch from WIN? I forgot how many years it was but I admire him for persevering through it all

Beyoncékween said...

Is this why there are so many fanfics where jinwoo is a batista?? Lol

Jinwoo really works hard you can it in the latest nii fanmeet he has so much confidence now in win i felt like he used to be really timid and was the only member who lacked stage presence but he looks so refreshing now that he has confidence
Honestly he's finding his own charm and i feel so proud that ive watched him breaking his shell from win to their debut till now he has improved so much and it's clearly visible

Hell-o said...

Even if its not true, I still feel bad for him. People might say that other trainees are doing the same thing just like him. But if you watched WIN then you'll know how much he's struggling and fighting for what he's achieved now with winner. Watching him improving day by day just make me feel proud of him.

wwinning said...

Jinwoo-yaaah~~ Please TT^TT this kind of news breaks my heart </3 please eat well TT^TT you already prove yourself that you're good enough. huh? TT^TT


This news is srsly breaks my heart lmfao you can say what u want to me but ughhh. JINWOO DESERVE EVERYTHING!!!

cigaretteplease said...

Beyoncékween said...

Seriously when will winner comeback? I feel so bad for them they're quite older than regular rookies and yg is just putting them in the dungeon

hikari17 said...

My baby T-T I feel like he still lacks confidence in his abilities and it hurts.

Guest said...

If anything, they worked EVEN harder than most idols BECAUSE they got into a big three company. The competition at YG is intense, and for them to come through and debut means that they must've worked their butt off to get selected.

wwinning said...

He deserves the whole wide world! I hope people will realize that Jinwoo is really working hard to improve himself (during his trainee days up to now) /sigh/ this news makes me sad Jinwoo-yaaah~~ TT^TT

Guest said...

Enough with this dungeon bullcrap. It hasn't even been a year since they last released music. For a group in their first year, they did MUCH better than Bigbang in their first year. I don't care if they delay for another year, I just hope they release a bomb song that eats up the charts that "Lies" did for Bigbang. That's what they need the most right now. That's what takes a group from 0-100, no matter how old they are.


I think they're fine for now. It's not like they are sitting on their ass home 24/7, they are most likely working on their comeback in which case it is even more important for them to work on their music rather than come on some dumbass variety show and act like stupid idiots making jokes to please a few fan girls. Sorry if I come across as rude.

[9] "It seems that a lot of people think Winner members were born with a silver spoon in their mouths but they've gone through a lot to debut ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ"

Fckng true.

wwinning said...

YG himself is messed up lol

Beyoncékween said...

You do know winner might only have 5 years together to make a name before they start going to army? While most rookies have atleast 8 years
Yes they can still be winner after jinwoo or hoon enlists but it's the same as seeing them together
You wont understand

wwinning said...

200% agree TT^TT

BoomBom said...

As of now, I'm rooting for WINNER to comeback Next year... YG's messed up @$$ has said he'll debut IKON & New GG...then 2ne1 will make a comeback after CL's solo debut in the US... so where the F*k does he think he'll fit in Winner? I'm so pissed at him rn... Their debut promotion was the worst and now he wants them to make a cb after September (after Bigbang's album is released) and ONLY have a couple of months of promotion before the year end awards?


He's a messed up person rn.

bbisback said...

yes as u can see its not been a year.. but other rookies that debut at the same year as winner already hv 23456 cb.
and u should know bigbang on their early debut day, they have proper promotion and release lot of music. 4sure bb also do lot of variety show... but if u compare what winner do now.. it so pathetic. they still rookies..and lot of people focus on them..but what yg did??nothing.. incles got zero news from them.. they still new and they need to build a strong fandom first.

I still remember during WIN he said "if im not working hard and doing my best, im afraid that I will make 4 people's life". he always do his best not only for him, but for other. Jinwoo is an angel. I never calling celebrity angel, but Jinwoo deserve to be called like that. He is very humble. He put other peiple before himself.
Fighting Jinwoo, im praying for your success

guest said...

ia with you, because compare to other trainee during WIN, especially in Winner he is the one who come from average family. Taehyun, Seunghoon seems a son of rich family. Mino's parents are employee, and I think that Mino maybe already make his own money at that time, and SeungYoon already rich because his fame from SSK2 and make his own money. They wear nice clothes and use expensive gadget. SY wear Chrome Heart, and Taehyun's love for branded clothes.
meanwhile Jinwoo seems like "commoner". his father is a fisherman from small island. no matter how much his father get from fishing it still would be harder for him to keepup with his traineemate's lifestyle if he didnt collect his money by himself.

cigaretteplease said...

mte. the other trainees wore designer clothes while jinwoo almost always wore the same things.

positive said...

i have a soft spot for hardworking but less talented people because i can empathise with them^^ it's hard... this one does seem a bit excessive but oh well... he's still very hardworking

Kim Hanni said...

Keep healty..!

ygBIATCH said...

I've always admired Jinwoo for his determination. He's always said that he ain't one of strongest vocals and that he doesn't want to be the cause of winner's (team a at that time) failure so he always worked hard to improve.he's really strong willed and devoted person and that's exactly why he's my bias. I hope that now he's having a break instead of practicing.

psychopathetic said...

Omg doesn't he get diarrhea every now and then? I salute ppl who cab drink coffee without needing to shit so much haha. Still I admire that endurance.

FudgeBoi said...

Thank u to the new admin ur awesome keep up the goodwork fighting!!!!!!!/

guest said...

not 5 :( they only have 4 years to promote.
this year JW is 24, he will goto army when he is 28. after that seunghoon will be following.
they need a comeback. if YG cant let them comeback with mini/full album atleast let them release a single like 2NE1 did in 2013. they have potention to become very big boygroup :(

guest said...

Cube's girlband CLC already have a comeback, and Gfriend which was debut in January will make a comeback in June :(
Is it really hard for YG to give Winner comeback?

tbvh said...

I'm not sure why there's this weird misconception that Winner members were well off before debuting. I see below someone insinuated that Yoon and Taehyun came from wealthy families. Let's set the record straight: Yoon made money off cfs and endorsements predebut but he comes from a single parent home and his mom had a LOT of debt. He has stated many times that he used all his earnings to pay those back. Taehyun also comes from a family where his mom and grandmother raised him. The kid had a billion part time jobs -- because he was the man of the house -- that doesn't scream "wealthy" to me. To be honest I think a lot of these kids struggled and saw their talent for music as one of the only ways to provide for their families.

As far as trainee days go - I dont know much about how the company system works. I'm sure the kids get allowances but I'm also more than certain that a lot of the designer clothes they wore, especially during WIN were sponsored. They obviously couldn't afford most of that. Also even after debut, there's a running joke with incles because so much of the expensive clothing they wear that is sponsored by them gets recycled. The boys will wear Gucci for ELLE magazine and then proceed to switch and mix and match these same clothes for months between members lol. The clothes are obviously donated/gifted with the responsibility that members be seen in them and so we see a lot of the same outfits over and over, just different members wearing it.

Just to clarify some of the misconceptions about the boys. ^_^ they've all struggled and worked really hard to get where they are.

tbvh said...

You have big misconceptions of their wealth lol

Beyoncékween said...

Taehyun has a single mother
He also worked part time here and there for money taehyun's family are not rich just usual avg middle class family
Seunghoon left busan and he didn't really get any money from his parents when he did that even he had to live in cramped rooms with others and work his ass off in kpop star
At most both were from avg middle class family only mino among all of them seemed to have a family that was financially able support him

guest said...

But dont you see Taehyun and Seunghoon home in Winner TV? their house is very expensive in Korea. you cant buy those house if you just middle average. And Taehyun loves expensive brand clothes since he was younger. For Seunghoon, since I saw his parents during KS season 1, I know that he's coming from average (rich) family. and dont forget that he wore braces before. maybe Seunghoon did that because he want to make his dream come true with his own. he moved from Busan when he was 19, maybe he thought that he was too old to asking money from his parent.
