Winner's promotions are always met with bad timing?

During debut days, Park Bom's drug scandal broke out and they were dragged in. They lost a member, rearranged the group, and hit daebak with Really Really, but TOP's drug scandal broke out. At the end of that year, they said Winner will have 3 comebacks a year but Kush's drug scandal broke out. Jinwoo has to enlist so their upcoming comeback could be their last album as a group, but Seungri's scandals are ruining the atmosphere.

Pann: Idol group that has the worst timing of all.

1. [+349, -33] Hey, it's not about bad timing. It's about having a sh*t agency ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+181, -20] I always forget that Winner is in YG and then I go, "Oh right, they're from YG..." I personally feel bad for them.

3. [+101, -15] Wow, the fans must be so pissed off.

4. [+79, -40] Song Mino's gynaecologist controversy was legendary, too. Why did you exclude it ㅋㅋ Are you sure it's only about bad timing?

5. [+40, -5] They're also really unlucky. They were quite popular in China despite no Chinese promotions. When they were about to do well, China's hallyu ban took place and it blocked their way ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+37, -12] But if you watch fancams at award shows, they don't look YG so they're not unlikeable. Others will also find them likeable. As time passes, people's perspective will be the same.

7. [+31, -1] They're hard-working kids who say they don't want to be shameful singers to their fans. I know their agency is problematic but please don't say that to bash the group.

8. [+24, -1] It wouldn't even be enough if the company was supporting them properly but they're throwing dirt at the group.

Minor aspects of Winner's 'Baby Baby'

Winner's 'Baby Baby' is one of the rare songs with 6/8 beats. Most Korean songs including idol songs are 4/4. 8/6 and 4/3 are extremely rare. The song was also a minor genre 'blues', but they still chose it as their title track.

-

Pann: The song with a unique record among title tracks

1. [+92, -11] Winner is a unique idol group because out of the five members, three members are really good at composing. It's not like they let a veteran composer do most work, they're the main composers and they even rearrange their music. Taehyun composed Baby Baby and it's approved by music experts. Even Yang Hyun Suk is thrilled to release the digital track of Song Mino's 'Mom'.

2. [+94, -9] Wow, I'm a fan but I didn't know that the song was 8/6 beats. God Namtae, God Taehyun.

3. [+91, -9] I recently found out that it was solely composed by him. I also like Sentimental but I also hope Baby Baby would be more recognized ㅠㅠ

4. [+45, -0] Honestly, when the song was released, I was hoping that they'd promote Baby Baby more ㅠㅠ The music video is +19, so... They promoted Sentimental more at the end. The songs in E album are all good! Namtae's title tracks are really good, I hope he stops being worried ㅠㅠ I felt bad when he said he was worried about his title track not doing well.. It's good!

5. [+44, -0] What's more amazing is that Taehyun composed, wrote, and rearranged the song ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+41, -0] It honestly needs to be reevaluated... I'm indeed a fan but it's not easy to see a song solely composed by an idol. It's also their second album, he must've worked so hard and felt pressured ㅠㅠ Why do they need to be called a flop just because they didn't last long after hitting the roof with a blues song? Winner and Taehyun, you guys are still doing well~

7. [+39, -0] A male idol hit the Melon roof with a 8/6 beat blues song ㅠㅠ

8. [+38, -0] I personally prefer Baby Baby over Sentimental ㅠㅠ It's really good, it makes me want to drink alone in the night. It didn't stay long on the chart because of its minor genre, but they won #1 and it's a big achievement. The fact that they made the music video +19 makes me upset but I'm proud of Winner.

9. [+38, -0] Nam Taehyun's cool

10. [+37, -0] What's more upsetting is that Taehyun used to be so confident but he lost his confidence. The song could've been buried due to its minor genre and +19 music video, but it still managed to hit the roof and won #1. At an event in Incheon, the MC asked, "How did you manage to capture people's attention?" and Namtae answered, "I didn't capture much." He's not confident anymore. He was also worried on Actor School ㅠㅠ

Anggota WINNER Cerita Masa Sulit Mereka Sebelum Debut

Anggota WINNER bercerita soal masa-masa sulit mereka sebelum debut sebagai idol.

Pada 23 April kemarin, JTBC menayangkan episode perdana program 'Half-Moon Friends' yang dibintangi oleh anggota WINNER.

Episode perdana ini dimulai dengan perkenalan para anggota WINNER. Kang Seung Yoon lalu bercerita, "Aku rasa pertama kalinya aku muncul di televisi ketika mengikuti program audisi pada tahun 2010." Ia berbicara soal kemunculannya dalam program 'Superstar K2'.

Ia melanjutkan, "Setelah itu, aku memutuskan untuk menjadi trainee di YG Entertainment tapi aku tidak bisa melangsungkan debut. Terkadang aku menyesal dengan keputusanku, dan berpikir kalau aku bisa langsung debut jika masuk agensi lain."
Nam Taehyun juga bercerita, "Aku mulai mengikuti audisi di tahun ketiga sekolah menengah. Aku juga melakukan pekerjaan paruh waktu di pom bensin, toko kelontong, restoran, bahkan jadi pengantar parcel."

Sedangkan Kim Jin Woo, "Aku terkadang tak mampu menghadapinya (masalah), karena tidak ada satupun yang bisa diajak berbicara."

Terakhir Mino, "Ketika aku berusia 17 tahun, aku menandatangani kontrak dengan agensi sampah. Aku tinggal di ruang bawah tanah yang dipenuhi dengan kecoa dan hanya bisa makan tahu," kisahnya.

Walau melalui kesulitan tersebut, kini anggota WINNER bisa menunjukkan prestasi dan karya mereka sebagai idol YG Entertainment. (www.kpopchart.net)

Bukan Irene Red Velvet, Fans Temukan Bukti Mino WINNER dan Chanmi 'Produce 101' Berkencan?

Mino WINNER kembali diterpa isu sedang berkencan, kini giliran Heo Chanmi 'Produce 101' yang dikabarkan tengah menjalin hubungan dengannya.

Baru baru ini seorang netizen membeberkan beberapa bukti yang mereka spekulasikan sebagai bukti dari kencan Song Minho WINNER dan Heo Chanmi 'Produce 101'. Padahal sebelumnya, nama Irene Red Velvet juga sempat terseret tengah menjalin hubungan dengan Mino.

Penggemar tersebut menjelaskan, "Aku tahu kalau sejak debut, Mino telah bertemu sebagai senior dan junior di kelas vokal dengannya, pergi ke gereja yang sama dan berkencan kekeke. Mereka telah lama memulai kencan," ujar netizen tersebut tanpa keraguan.

Berikut pemaparan lengkapnya:

1. Mino berhubungan dengan Chanmi melalui adik perempuannya di Instagram.

2. Botol 'Coca-cola' yang Chanmi unggah adalah milik Mino yang ia dapatkan dari perusahaan minuman tersebut. Belakangan mereka juga saling mengunggah foto dengan latar yang selaras.

3. Chanmi melakukan cover untuk lagu WINNER 'Sentimental'.

4. Sepupu Mino, #Gun menfollow Chanmi. Dari sekian banyak peserta 'Produce 101' hanya Chanmi yang di follow oleh #Gun.

5. Brand satu-satunya yang di follow oleh Chanmi adalah merek topi yang selalu disukai oleh Mino. Jika dilihat, Instagram tersebut hampir separuh menampilkan foto-foto dari Mino.

6. Orang yang banyak di follow Chanmi rata-rata teman dekat Mino seperti Zico, Incredivle, Taewoon dan lain sebagainya.

7. Bukti terakhirnya yang paling mencenangkan adalah pada album debut WINNER, Mino menuliskan "Khusunya untuk Chan Mi noona," yang semakin mengkuatkan dugaan bahwa Mino telah lama berkencan dengan Chanmi 'Produce 101'.

Heo Chanmi 'Produce 101' sebelumnya sempat menghebohkan penggemar dengan pengakuannya yang hampir debut bersama SNSD saat ia tampil membawakan lagu 'Into the New World' pada acara survival tersebut.

Walaupun tampaknya Mino dan Chanmi saling mengenal namun mereka tidak saling follow di Instagram. Netizen berspekulasi bahwa mereka ingin menyembunyikan hubungan mereka. Akan tetapi itu justru membuat dugaan penggemar semakin kuat terhadap isu kencan keduanya.

Hm, bagaimana menurut kalian? (www.kpopchart.net)

Winner Jinwoo comforts a crying student

"I'm in grade 12 and I live in Hapjeong-dong. 2 weeks ago, we got our grades for mock tests in March. My grades weren't as good as I expected and it made me very upset. I didn't want to go home so I went to a Starbucks alone at late night. I stared at my grades and cried in a corner seat. I sensed that someone was staring at me. He had his face and hair covered so I couldn't tell who he was. I thought he was looking at me because I was crying. When I was done crying, I packed my stuff to leave. He approached me and it was Winner Jinwoo! I was so surprised and I stuttered. He asked me why I was crying. I told him that I was in grade 12 and it was very stressful. He told me I'll do well and comforted me. He was with someone, I think they were his friend. Does this count as an anecdote?"

"He comforted me and gave me his autograph on my stopwatch. He cheered for me."

The stopwatch with his autograph

Pann: Idol who comforted a crying grade 12 student

1. [+66, -1] He's my ideal type. His looks aside, his personality is so kind and innocent. He's naive sometimes but that's what I like about him. He's too kind and it almost makes him a fool. He's also handsome.

2. [+58, -2] I really like him because he's kind but it makes me worried ㅠㅠ I feel like he'll be scammed by bad people ㅠㅠ He's way too innocent and kind, I'm worried about him ㅠㅠ Innocent Jinwoo... I'll always protect him by his side ㅎㅎ

3. [+52, -1] He's seriously kind and seriously handsome. I think he'd feel sorry when he jokes around because he's too kind like that ㅠㅠ

4. [+27, -0] Jinwoo-ya, you're too kind. You're an angel, the definition of innocent. You shouldn't be too kind like that ㅠㅠ The world isn't as kind.

5. [+21, -0] Wow, he's really kind... I knew he was kind but he even asked a stranger and worried about them...

6. [+20, -0] Jinwoo looks like a prince from a fairytale. He's too perfect. And he doesn't even get old ㅠㅠ

7. [+19, -0] Jinwoo-ya, you're doing well. Be confident ㅠㅠ

Seungyoon to Jinwoo: "When I saw you crouched with a hoodie in a studio, I felt like my heart was ripping apart because you looked like you wanted to hide yourself. It really doesn't make sense that someone with a handsome face like you wants to be hidden. You deserve to be loved. Find strength, hyung."

8. [+18, -0] I don't know much about Winner but this post made me impressed ㅋㅋ Maybe because I'm retaking university entrance exams ㅋㅋ He's cool

Winner's intense fansign in a rainstorm

A rainstorm came during a fansign. It was very windy and Seungyoon fought against the wind with a cushion (picture above)

Fan accounts:

"It was a disaster ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everywhere was soaked by rain and the tent was shaking so hard. Fans' umbrellas flipped and it was a mess. The fans were worried about the members ㅋㅋ "We're OK!! Just let the members avoid the rain!" ㅋㅋ I saw a fan giving her scarf to a member"

"Mino: It's raining, guys.

(Rain starts pouring)

Seungyoon: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Thanks for coming to see us in this weather

Fans: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ We love you!! This is how much we... (wind) Guys!!! Get in the car!!"

"When it started raining, the fans told the staff, "We can get wet but please don't let the members get wet. They're babysitting a baby, they shouldn't catch a cold.""

-

Taehyun shouted, "Guys, get into a building!!"

They had to make the fansign private and changed the location

At the new location, the members and fans were much closer. Seunghoon hid his face shyly.

Pann: Winner had a fansign with a rainstorm

1. [+160, -2] He gave his hair to a fan ㅋㅋ

(Jinwoo allowed his fan to take one hair)

2. [+154, -2] Seungyoon is fighting against the rain with a cushion ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Taehyun's love and worry for fans are as expected.

3. [+144, -2] Seunghoon is so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+67, -0] Winner and fans were worried about each other ㅋㅋ Fans shouted, "Guys, don't get sick! Get in the car! We're OK but they shouldn't get wet!" Winner shouted, "Guys, get inside! Share an umbrella!"

5. [+63, -0] I went to watch and I was there for 6 hours in a rain. Before 20 minutes, they opened the side gate. It was so annoying but they looked awesome!

6. [+61, -0] I don't know if it's Winner or the fans that are nice in the first place, but all of them have a beautiful heart.

7. [+60, -0] Inner Circles are so nice... It's also nice how Winner is worried about their fans but the fans talk nicely. I hope Winner lasts long.

Winner gives out their concert tickets to an education office for free?

"I'm the OP who wrote about Winner's concert tickets. I live in Gwangju and there was an announcement from the Education Office of Gwangju... The concert was said to be held at Kim Dae Joong Convention Center. It was a group field trip with 1 teacher and 3 students. They said first 450 people will get free tickets."

-

Pann: Idol who even gives out their tickets to education office

1. [+180, -60] What's this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this Open Concert or National Singing Contest ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Their reputation as idols is ruined ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

2. [+160, -39] Can someone come up with a proof then? I never heard about this anywhere. I went to Gwangju Education Office website but I didn't find anything. My bias also had a similar rumor before. If you're going to post something like this, also post a proof picture of a ticket.

3. [+133, -27] Where's your proof?

4. [+127, -22] Show us a proof

5. [+82, -21] I'm not a Winner fan but how can you believe this without a proof?

6. [+71, -22] I went to Gwangju Education Office website but I didn't find anything ㅋㅋ

7. [+67, -24] I live in Gwangju and my school also got those concert invitations ㅋㅋ But there's barely any Winner fans in my school, so only a few students chose to go just to see some celebrities. I think it was at 6PM on Sunday at Kim Dae Joong Convention Center.

8. [+59, -40] Is there really no Winner fans? Please go to their concert, they look so pitiful.

9. [+50, -18] If it's true, it's really shocking. They're even giving away tickets to an education office. Why are they even holding a concert then?

10. [+43, -3] It's true. My heart breaks as a Winner fan... Here's the proof since people are demanding for it.

"Field trip of cultural art experience"

Winner and Red Velvet get hate for not bringing public-friendly songs?

Pann: Winner and Red Velvet get way too much hate for not bringing public-friendly songs

1. [+193, -12] Winner has been around for 3 years but they've only released one album 'Empty'. It's an emotional ballad, which is a disadvantage for idols to gain fans. They only promoted for 2 months. All they did in three years was guest on Weekly Idol. They're literally holding on with the fans they gained on WIN. But Sentimental was #1 when it was released and it's still in top 20. I don't understand why people say it's a flop.

2. [+183, -9] On Actor School, one of the cast said, "Sorry to say this but why is Winner's song not charting high?" Taehyun said, "Oh, us? Yeah... I wrote the title track so I'm quite concerned about it these days." He looked like he was blaming himself and I felt bad watching him. Don't bash them for their results, it's the most hurtful thing for the singers. Red Velvet's song is also good, what more can they do? Drama OSTs and other digital monsters are all out there, they're doing fine.

3. [+175, -10] They're pursuing the music they want to do, is this something to get criticized? What's wrong with not getting good results? It's Winner's first comeback but they were #5 on Gaon's monthly chart and #3 for physical sales. Red Velvet's rank also keeps increasing.

4. [+60, -1] It's true that Winner had Winner TV before debut. But do you know how many years fans had to wait since then? We had to wait for 2 years. During the time, light fans left and some fans were disappointed that Empty and Sentimental aren't pop-ish songs that Winner pursued on WIN. But Winner still managed to be #5 on digital chart in February and their fans donated 100 million won at a recent concert. Winner is still doing relatively well.

5. [+55, -5] I'm an SM stan and I don't like YG songs because they aren't my type. But I like Winner's Sentimental and also liked Empty and Don't Flirt. So Winner is the only likeable YG artist for me. It's not like I hate or like other YG artists though.

6. [+47, -1] Honestly, Winner's blues genre is just unfamiliar, the song is still really good. People just don't listen because blues is an unfamiliar genre. The quality is amazing.

7. [+44, -0] Winner and Red Velvet's songs aren't factory-manufactured hook songs. In Winner's song, every sound has its details. You can't compare them to factory-manufactured hook songs.

8. [+44, -8] They can fuck off. Public-friendly? If you want something public-friendly, then go listen to Brave Brothers or Shinsadong Tiger. What's the point of creating high quality sounds and quality music videos when everything is judged by digital ranking? Korea's Music Awards nominees weren't even top 100 on Melon.

9. [+41, -0] Winner and Red Velvet's songs are much better than typical autotuned idol songs.

10. [+38, -1] Then they can listen to electronic songs. Both songs are high quality, they just don't appeal to the public.

Pernah Sebut WINNER dan BTS Idiot, K.Will Kembali Jadi Perbincangan

Solois K.Will kembali menjadi perbincangan di kalangan netizen terkait pernyataan kontroversialnya terhadap WINNER dan BTS.

Netizen di situs Pann kembali memperbincangkan kontroversi yang ditimbulkan oleh kecerobohan K.Will dalam mengeluarkan candaannya selama siaran.

Saat menjadi salah satu pembawa acara dalam program musik MCountdown, K.Will melakukan wawancara bersama WINNER yang tengah melangsungkan promosi debut mereka.

Dalam wawancara tersebut, K.Will meminta WINNER untuk melakukan versi imut dari 'Empty'. Namun setelah Song Mino melakukan apa yang diminta, K.Will menyahutnya dengan berkata, "Itu lebih terlihat seperti cacat mental ketimbang lucu."

Walaupun berniat melontarkan candaa, yang begitupula disambut tawa oleh anggota WINNER kecuali Seunghoon, namun penggemar menganggap bahwa candaan seperti itu tidak pantas.

Tidak hanya WINNER, BTS pun pernah menjadi korban dari lelucon K.Will yang terkesan pedas ini. Dalam salah satu program radio, K.Will mengatakan kepada anggota BTS, "Tidak bisakah kalian diam? Kalian terlihat seperti idiot."

Pernyataan kontroversi tersebut memanas di tahun 2014 dan kini kembali diperbincangan oleh kalangan netizen di situs Pann, dan menimbulkan berbagai komentar negatif seperti,

"Wow, itu benar-benar membuatku jijik"

"Hul ... Betapa bodohnya orang itu"

"Dia selalu terkenal karena memiliki mulut yang kotor ha ha ha... bahkan di 'Real Men', dia tidak bisa mengucapkan satu kalimatpun tanpa memaki ha ha ha..."

"Membuktikan bahwa ia adalah orang yang bodoh" dan lainnya.

Bagaimana menurut kalian mengenai kontroversi K.Will ini? (www.kpopchart.net)

Lagu WINNER Gagal Puncaki Chart Musik, Ini Kata Taehyun

Taehyun mengungkapkan pendapatnya mengenai kegagalan album WINNER di chart musik.

Pada 17 Maret kemarin, program 'Actor School' di tvN menayangkan episode terbaru mereka.

Program ini dibintangi oleh Taehyun dan juga komedian Yoo Byung Jae. Ketika Yoo Byung Jae bertanya kepada Taehyun soal album WINNER, Taehyun berkata, "Aku khawatir akan banyak hal. Aku menulis lagu itu seorang diri dan merilis lagu baru setelah sekian lama, tapi semuanya tidak mendapatkan sambutan yang cukup bagus."

"Sejujurnya, bahkan saat ini aku tidak bisa berkonsentrasi. Aku ingin kembali ke studio rekaman," ujar anggota WINNER ini.

Pada bulan Februari lalu WINNER memang melangsungkan comeback dengan merilis mini album 'EXIT: E'. Walau sempat memuncaki chart musik, hanya dalam beberapa hari lagu tersebut harus kalah saing dengan lagu-lagu lainnya.

WINNER sebelumnya sudah dikonfirmasi mengakhiri masa promosi dan akan membintangi program variety show bertajuk 'Half-moon Friends'. Usai membintangi program ini, WINNER baru akan melanjutkan promosi mereka dengan merilis album 'EXIT: X'. (www.kpopchart.net)
