    All About WINNER: The Boy Group Who Impresses Everyone With Its Music

    Known for their potential to create high-quality music recognized by the general public, WINNER has earned the nickname “Trust & Listen” and astounded the Korean music scene with their every release.

    Composed of Yoon, Jinu, Hoony, and Mino, the boy group has displayed their stability in the competitive world of K-Pop and their flexibility and diversity in terms of their music — not confining themselves to a four-cornered space, but going beyond corners and experiment beautifully on their art.

    The members of WINNER have also actively participated in the production, composition, and songwriting for their albums that tackled various subjects including love, everyday life, and hope.

    Before 2014: The Pre-Debut Era of WINNER

    Prior to their debut, Yoon, Jinu, Hoony, and Mino participated on Mnet’s WIN: Who Is Next? as Team A, together with former member Nam Tae Hyun. The boys competed against Team B, whose members went on to debut as iKON with Chan Woo.

    After three rounds of performances and public voting, Team A went on to win the competition, earning the name “WINNER”. The boys then served as the opening act at BIGBANG’s Japanese dome tour and star in their reality show WINNER TV. They also appeared as guest performers on 2NE1’s All or Nothing tour including the tour’s Manila leg. In addition, the boys joined their fellow YG artists in YG Family Power World Tour.

    2014: Guess Who’s Next — WINNER Makes Highly-Anticipated Debut

    After the release of a number of teaser images and videos in anticipation of their debut and the holding of a showcase in the form of a launch party, WINNER made their official debut on August 17 through SBS’ Inkigayo and with the album 2014 S/S and songs “Empty” and “Color Ring”.

    They then became the fastest group to win on a music show after securing first place on M! Countdown. Their album also earned the top spot on Gaon chart and Billboard World Album chart.

    Their debut year was met with great success as they secure rookie awards and other citations in South Korea and abroad.

    WINNER also released a Japanese version of 2014 S/S: Japan Collection and embarked on a Japan tour.

    2016: Return With EXIT:E and Final Release As 5

    Following their 18-month hiatus, WINNER came back with an extended play EXIT: E with had “Baby Baby” and “Sentimental” as lead singles.

    The EP debuted at the top of Gaon chart and at the second spot of Billboard World Album chart. In addition, its lead singles went on to achieve an all-kill status — topping all eight major music streaming platforms. “Baby Baby” also became the most streamed song, among Korean releases, for the first half of the year on QQ Music.

    That year, WINNER went on their first ever nationwide concert tour.

    2017: WINNER’s Fate As Four

    In November 2016, Nam Tae Hyun left WINNER and YG Entertainment, leading for the boy group to reform into four members.

    WINNER made their first release as a four-member boy group with the single album Fate Number For with “Really Really” and “Fool” as lead singles. They once again proved their status as digital monsters with “Really Really” placing number one on Gaon. The song also debuted at the third spot of Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.

    2017 also saw the boys come out with the single album Our Twenty For which also includes the singles “Love Me Love Me” and “Island”.

    2018: Going Everywhere with a Wolrd Tour

    The following year, they released their second studio album Everyday with the single of the same title. It was also in 2018 when the boys’ embarked in their first ever world tour Everywhere including Philippines as one of the tour’s stop.

    Before 2018 ended, WINNER released the single album Millions which featured the single of the same name.

    2019: Crossing Paths with WINNER with New Album and Tour

    WINNER kicked off their 2019 releases with the extended play We, led by “Ah Yeah”. The EP topped Gaon with over 129,000 copies sold. They followed up We with their third EP titled Cross, released ahead of their upcoming Cross Tour which will once again see WINNER back in the Philippines for a concert on January 25, 2020 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

    Celebrating their fifth debut anniversary this 2019, Yoon, Jinu, Hoony, and Mino have indeed come a long way since being named the winning group in the survival reality show WIN: Who Is Next? and earning their name as WINNER.

    Since then, the boys have successfully made their mark as one of the most in-demand boy groups of their generation through their chart-topping releases including their debut single “Empty”, “Really Really”, “Everyday”, “Millions”, and more. Most recently, WINNER returned with their highly-anticipated comeback with their third extended play Cross which features “So So” as its lead single.

    Known for their high quality music and versatility as musicians, the boy group has been recognized by various award-giving bodies in South Korea and overseas. In 2014 and 2015, fresh from their debut, the boys took home the New Artist of the Year at the Gaon Chart Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Mnet Asia Music Awards. Last year, the Golden Disc Awards also awarded them the Digital Bonsang for “Really Really”.

    It was also in 2018 when Yoon, Jinu, Hoony, and Mino staged their first ever solo concert in the Philippines through their Everywhere Tour at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last November 10, 2018. Not only did they greet their Philippine Inner Circles with the various astounding performances they prepares, they also made tons of beautiful memories to cherish forever as they endowed fans with hilarious skits, touching messages, a lot of “Salamat” and “Mahal kita“, and of course, a promise to come back to the “City of Love, City of Music, and City of Pleasure” as Mino said.
