I just saw the title. It made me chuckle. Of course Eric smokes. Who doesn't know they smoke. It's nice to see that he's not doing it now during the drama, hopefully he stops all together. Dongwan. I like him showing support for leader.

They are cute and just so loveable. It's interesting to see chreography for Smile Again because Hoon spent time tweaking the dance. Dancemaster Hoon! I don't get how he doesn't get public recogniton from the almighty YG for this, but I would rather not, because it would look like YG is taking credit for cultivating Hoon's talent. They really are doing everything for themselves. I'm glad people help promote them- MPD, Nii, Jtbc with Bandaland. I really don't want them promoting at the same time. If said group is so popular let them have their own limelight. Why make it like they're the group that lost so needs more help being promoted. They seem to have lots more face time on tv compared to Winner who spent a year in the dungeon before their first album, then another 2/3 years for a project that has only resulted in 1 mini out of four. It's E X I T, and it's already April. A third of the year has passed already.

Hi guys!! *enthusiastic hello handwaves* it's been a while. I'm on lurker mode. I love the posts. I'm following the boys on Instagram but I always come here for the extra good stuff. Winner in suits=Handsome, manly, suave. It's nice seeing good things and I am excited for Half moon friends. Jtbc usually has a good track record with their stuff. They like to experiment and let the people on the show be themselves. (Shinhwa Broadcast. They did their own thing.) Winner is going to be shown in their natural habitat=loving dorks. Winner is the next best thing from kpop for me since (til now because they're still active) Shinhwa. I hope they stay together for a long time. The good thing is that if they left/had to leave YG, most/all the songs were made by/contributed by the members. The songs more than less belong to them. They won't have to fight about song rights and ownership. YG might throw shade, but he always does that anyway. Back to lurker mode. Hope everyone here is doing good. Have a good morning/day/night depending on your timezone.

I don't get YG's special/unique promo at all. He's projecting and setting a schedule for practically 4 single/mini album promos, their comeback promo offically started with Inki but they performed on Mnet first. When did they actually comback? And his grand plans will probably get shafted because YG never sticks to his schedule. BB had MADE series, how is EXIT a unique or special promo tactic. MADE was a single/album release with a full album at the end but MADE ended up a mini album. Who knows how many songs will actually make it onto EXIT thought Winner probably wrote more than 50+ songs. He failed at BB's promo and their songs all felt rushed with the new album released during a tour. It doesn't make sense. YG doesn't need to praise Winner for their stuff but he can at least acknowledge them. Don't throw shade or take credit where it isn't due. The boys worked hard to make music. Jinwoo trained a long time to debut. YG just can't acknowledge a group he put together being successful because they didn't need his "helping hand" Besides that stuff, I'm glad the boys came back and I love how Hoon is so honest and making fun remarks concerning Incles. Though he's not the SNS king and flirty/cheesy Yoon towards IC, he knows the fans well.

*thumbs up* I like how it tells a story. All the songs are good. I'm enjoying everything about this comeback. On to mcountdown! And a live (prerecorded) performance.

I thought I missed it

Ahhhhh. The song is heaven to my ears. I love it. It's Beatles meets pop. I love the theme as well. Winner being dorks and having fun is the best. I have the biggest smile on my face. I'm already falling in love. I love concept of British pop?/rock vibes. Ageless beauty Jinwoo is gracing us with his presence. I want what he is drinking.

The video is great. It really is a surprise. After all the covers we finally get to hear Winner singing the song. It sounds good. I like the arrangement. I love that they're experimenting with genres that work for them. I love this comeback because I'm anticipating everything and am awestruck by everything Winner does.

Happy Birthday!

Welcome new members. Another Dongwan fan! I love him on ILA. He's a busy body. He needs to pick up a drama or movie. I need actor Dongwan in my life.

Just comeback on time! Feb. 1st come fast.

Extreme fandoming. And considering Shinhwa does troll each other and fans as well. We see a small protest with the members sporting orange but man. Kpop fans are dedicated fans.

Haha. I love the Minwoo part.

Happy Birthday! March is going to be around the corner and then we'll spazz away to Shinhwa and their comeback.

Hmm. Maybe it was a contract issue or something related to practice/event commitments. Hiro and LDH pretty much give free reign to their artists more so the men than women but the girls are not restricted like other companies.

Go Hyesung. I like the chreography. No more awkward Hyesung. He's showing off his skills.

My fear for 3JSB is that they'll be lumped in with Exile. Omi and Ryu are a good duo. Their music suits the whole group and is mainstream even if it's part of the trend than something different like Hanabi and their ballad songs. I know I enjoy their songs and that it suits them rather than the stagnant sound Exile has been stuck in.

Hyesung! Vocals are on point. The chreography is intricate and fun to watch.

*thumbs up* (on my phone) This is the attitude I'm going to take with WINNER. I can't wait for Feb when they officially kick of their promo.

I find it lonely with only one singer. Most of their groups are mostly duos. Reina has a strong voice but as a whole the group hasn't shined since Erina left. I know they're suppose to be the ballad group but I liked it when they mixed it up. They're still amazing to watch and their chreography is still on point. It's just that they're doing a soft, fluid style than a hard hitting one.

They're going to be fine. With all the members and their diverse taste in music, fashion, everything, I think they'll have something spectacular to show us. They aren't bound to superstar/high fashion status like BB, not bound to YG style hip hop like Ikon, not pop art/Andy Warhol/Teddy style like 2NE1 (whose styles work for them). They have established themselves as monster rookies through their music and I trust that they will be able to deliver Winner style music. They still have so many more styles to show us. Daesung and especially Dara are not "hip-hop" but both groups have done songs and styles to suit their respective members. I wonder if the next release after the official release in February will be on a members birthday too. Like a present for their fans because that would be Winner style promotion. They're always considerate and concious of IC.

%*=¥#&%;÷ what did we just watch? I wasn't expecting the video but....damn, everything is perfect.

HAPPY New Years you all (though it's almost 2am Cali time). We were (almost) the last ones anyways. Have a good 1st of the year. Don't mean to jinx their promo. I'm waiting for the 11th patiently. WINNER comeback pending IC!

I just can't wait anymore. I need to hear them singing, rapping and see them dancing. I'm just glad that there's been no news of a delay.

^ so handsome. They're awesome representing the fandom color. I want their orange fan-good sweater from The Return era.
