[FULL MAGAZINE INTERVIEW] 170420 #WINNER for HIGH CUT Korea May Issue

WINNER’s beginning was different from the start as they were born through a reality program, “WIN: Who Is Nextâ€. In the first week of their debut, they won three #1 crowns on music shows with their title track “Empty†and swept up all the rookie awards that year. The public fixed their eyes on the monster rookie that had skills, visuals, and the star quality and WINNER always put out results that met expectations. But a long hiatus followed which was unprecedented for a rookie group. A sudden piece of news that fans received during the hiatus was not about their comeback but about a member leaving the group. They became 4 members from 5 and they changed the formation of their choreographies and they adjusted the vocalist parts and they had to work hard to fill up the one empty spot. The result of this came in the form of their single album “FATE NUMBER FORâ€, which was released on April 4th, 1 year and 2 months after their previous comeback. The moment the album was released, it recorded first place on iTunes Charts in 21 different countries and was featured in Apple Music’s “Best of the Weekâ€. The fact that the public’s response to “REALLY REALLY†and “FOOLâ€, which are total opposites of each other, are addicting is just a bonus. WINNER is at their peak.

Great interview as usual! Seungyoon being the ever supportive leader he is and praising Jinwoo singing and composing songs that suit his members, Mino dragging himself with how much heavy his voice sounded in the past, Hoon making it known he wants to dip into fashion more and have his own clothing brand in the future (I swear this man can do everything) and Jinwoo overflowing with his newfound confidence which he got through contemporary dancing. I love how honest their answers were, they came a long way and you can tell they grew closer to each other. Happy their cmb was a success and hoping for much more in the future!

I really loved how MINO said that he can tell what the other members are thinking just by looking at their faces. LOL. How cute.

 

I am happy for Yoon and his music. I hope he continues to grow!!

 

Yes I am glad MINO changed his tone to a more natural one post-smtm thank goddd. LOL.

 

I am excited to hear Hoon wants to make his own clothing brand in the future like how Tyler the Creator has his own.  I always thought this and I am all for it. Boy had great experience designing for freshfruit and Nii. 

 

I am so happy Jinwoo seems so much more comfortable and confident. I am all for ACTOR Jinwoo and future CF KING. 

[diggy]

i never get bored reading their interviews, eloquent, honest and it always left me wanting more. you really can see their personalities in their segments. 

 

special shoutout to kim jinwoo the kdrama trash who likes to lie in bed and play with his phone. he's all of us.

I love love love this interview. There are some personal stuff right there too. There are also some group questions.

I think with the way he executed every interview this well, I'm so confident they're going to be big.

I am glad Seungyoon started to feel confident about his talent in composing again. It's been long since we listen to his composition. FNF is literally his baby and it's gaining so much attention right now.

 

Mino, being honest and pure and everything as usual. He's always one among members who is more upfront about their struggles, their inhibitions, anything. It's a casual read when it's Mino. It's like reading lyrics lol.

I am also happy that JinHoon getting more and more recognition for their talents now. Seunghoon will forever be the realist person on earth. I like that way he said, that he didn't listen to the song often cause he's gonna listen to it after release anyway. Lmao. Sassy.

And Jinwoo, finally. Rise Jinwoo's vocal Rise.

 

It's safe to say that FATE NUMBER FOR has done them justice so far.
