‘Solo Comeback’ YOON, “Signing with YG→Debut as WINNER, No Regrets”
[스포츠조선=백지은 기자] YOON of WINNER revealed his thoughts on making his solo comeback.
On ‘YOON [The Prequel]’ video uploaded by YG Entertainment(hereby YG) on the 14th and on the 15th, YOON had time to look back into his past 10-year journey of music.
YOON stated, “Many people wondered, ‘YOON in YG? Does that make sense?’. All the agencies that wanted to sign me after ‘Superstar K2’ told me they can make me succeed right away, but I didn’t want to. I thought it’s important to release music after I’m ready. That’s why I became a trainee of YG”.
He continued, “There were times I’ve regrated when I was learning and practicing genres and dances, I was unfamiliar with at the time. However, I don’t regret at all anymore. Because of those times, I am who I am today”.
He also added, “I was supposed to work on my solo album while shooting ‘WIN’, but I couldn’t. I enjoyed the time practicing with our members, and had to focus even more after I became the leader. If I go back in time, I will probably do the same and give up on my solo album”. He revealed his affection towards his team by continuing, “We’ve grown more through the short competition than we’ve grown through years of practice. We were eventually acknowledged for our group song, and I never regret. The moment we became WINNER is the best scene of my entire life”.
YOON will make comeback as a solo artist this month. It will be his solo comeback in nearly 8 years, and will be his first-ever official solo album.
There are high expectations on his solo comeback since he’s the one who’s created hits such as ‘REALLY REALLY’, ‘LOVE ME LOVE ME’, ‘ISLAND’, and ‘MILLIONS’, and since he was the youngest member to become king on MBC ‘King of Masked Singer’.
It is said that YOON is personally putting in his efforts on not only the writing, composing, and producing of all tracks, but also the MV since it will be his first-ever official solo album. The people are paying keen attention to the musical world YOON will present not as a member of WINNER, but as a solo artist.
