YANG HYUN SUK Talks about WINNER’s Comeback, and “You Will Be Surprised” (Interview ②)
[마이데일리=전원 기자] YG ENTERTAINMENT’s main producer YANG HYUN SUK talked about the comeback of its boy group WINNER, who is now having a hiatus in Korea.
It has been more than a year since WINNER released a song in Korea. They are now focusing on the concert tours abroad. After releasing their debut album in August, they haven’t produced a new song yet. Of course, SONG MIN HO have recently appeared in “Show Me the Money 4” aired on a cable channel Mnet, but fans are looking forward to WINNER’s comeback.
In Saturday afternoon, after iKON’s debut concert “SHOWTIME,” Mr. Yang talked about WINNER’s new album.
He said that it is a “secret” when WINNER will make a comeback. “In the past, the fans of iKON were envious and disappointed when WINNER’s first album was released,” he said. “And now the situation is the opposite. I’m a producer. If iKON successfully makes their debut, I’m going to push WINNER to do better. The two groups are like brothers, and I will do everything I can to help both of them succeed. It’s not that I’m not favoring one group over the other.”
“WINNER’s first album was quite successful, so we are aimed at creating something new that goes beyond their previous success. We already have a plan for promotion. So I want to make sure that there is no need for the fans to be worried. WINNER have their own strengths, and we are going to make the best of them.”
“And in a very near future,” he added, “many of you will be surprised,” implying that WINNER’s comeback is imminent. In fact, Mr. Yang posted a photo on his Instagram account on Sep. 20th, which seemed to indicate WINNER’s comeback. The photo had a caption saying “Miss them?” along with WINNER’s emblem. The boy group is expected to make a comeback and release a new album in the second half of this year.
