YANG HYUN SUK’s 2 reasons for “WINNER’s debut, more pressure than ever” (Interview)

1

YANG HYUN SUK explained why he is devoting more energy into WINNER’s debut (consisting members KANG SEUNGYOON, LEE SEUNGHOON, SONG MINHO, KIM JINWOO & NAM TAEHYUN) than any other artists.

YANG, the founder of one of the biggest Korean entertainment agencies, YG, told Star News that he is feeling more pressure than ever about revealing WINNER officially as the first boy group since BIGBANG 8 years ago.

It’s surprising because the comment comes from a star-producing machine, YANG, who was the major contributor to making 2NE1, BIGBANG and PSY global stars. It’s even more unexpected because it seems like every WINNER member has already gained much popularity.

Then why is YANG feeling more pressure than ever?

He explains, “As YG’s BIGBANG and 2NE1 rose to global stardom, many foreign music-related people and fans’ interest for YG is growing. They are focusing on WINNER, the first boy group since BIGBANG, so this puts more pressure on the debut than when it was BIGBANG.”

He continued, “Even before their debut WINNER attracted 8,000 fans in Osaka Japan last November. Japanese fans’ interest are extended from BIGBANG to WINNER even before the debut, so this adds to the pressure on WINNER’s official debut.

He added, “The theme song of the film “Frozen”, titled “Let It Go” is sweeping music charts recently, and this means Korean artists and agencies must work harder to produce better music. I am included in this, and this again adds to the pressure of WINNER’s album.”

YANG is feeling more pressure than ever for the following 2 reasons: global attention is on YG and WINNER, and there is a clear demand for good music to satisfy the needs.

But he is also determined to produce quality music with WINNER to brush off all the worries and pressure.

YANG said, “WINNER is working day and night on the album, and I am doing my best to support them. They also understand how important their debut album is.

He added, “WINNER will be showing their real colors to the fans by including their self-composed songs. The alum release date is scheduled to be the end of this month, when Mnet’s WINNER TV ends, but it could be postponed if the completion is delayed. We will put in the time needed to make the album perfect.”

WINNER, who already received many offers from major brand advertisements, is building curiosity in the music world about how good their debut album will be.

Honestly, I'd rather have a good delayed album than a weak one that comes out right on time? As long as they keep us informed about when and why (which can be a problem with YG).

at least in this interview he's putting the pressure on him more than on the boys.

"Interview junkie" seems about right. Seriously, why are there so many interviews with him?

As for Winner, there is indeed a lot of pressure on them and I'm not sure they can meet the high expectations. On the one hand it's nice that they're already well-known (look at the fact that they already have cf deals and that Winner TV is popular) but on the other hand it means that there's hardly any room for failure. Big Bang had much less pressure and so they could steadily develop; they weren't that popular at first but I think that helped them grow and have a more solid basis for their big break-through when it came.

Well, we'll see how it goes. I hope the songs (especially their self-composed ones) will be nice.

Actually there isn't that much interviews! It's only that millions articles are coming out based on one or two interviews he did, Reporters know fans and watchers on YG are going to eat it up.

Everyone seems to dislike YG but at the same time everyone also seems to be obsessed with him... can't help but feeling he'd be pleased.

I just need this album to be perfect; I don't mind waiting for a little while (and giving a little bit of that attention to akdong who also has to debut???) so that the album isn't just a rush.

A wait wouldn't be too bad if we got WINNERTV season 2 in return. hint hint.

sure! I totoally agree with you! I think AkMu have to debut before kpop star end. I don't think there will be delay

I'm okay with this as I never expected their album to be released in February considering how they started working on it only after Win ended and the boys also had plenty of other schedules than just being in studio.

Eh. I dont mind waiting, YG just needs to stop it with his stupid announcements and his setting of time frames that dont really take effect.

I believe in Winner especially after hearing their original work in WinnerTV! But am really honestly afraid that they'll be mismanaged too.

I take issue with this:

Epik High anyone? If you're going to include Psy, then you should include Epik High. And what about Se7en? He was the beginning you bastards. #stillbitter


The alum release date is scheduled to be the end of this month, when Mnet’s WINNER TV ends, but it could be postponed if the completion is delayed. We will put in the time needed to make the album perfect.”

LOL saying what we already know. Won't see these guys till summer if YG has his way.
edit: Let me clarify. The summer of 2016.

I think it's because Epik High didn't debut with YG, so it's not like he made them stars, lol. And I don't think Se7en is gonna get shone in a good light for quite some time o.o; ...

Oh, I didn't know that lol.

And yes, I know that's what the author is doing--so the above commenter doesn't need took too deep into that, I was giving examples of why people may not have been mentioned.

I can understand that kind of pressure. But you know...they are their own group and not just BIG BANG's replacement so...gotta let the bird fly. Don't keep them cooped up for too long.

Will be looking forward to them either way!

I don't mind the album being delayed but don't announce anything unless it's been finalised. Simple.

Also obligatory "dishonour on your cow" YG

All I got from this was "Four for you, Winner, you GO Winner, and none for 2NE1 or maybe none for Winner, too, if I forget."

I just think the man should relax, because winner fans and yg stans would lebel the album as masterpiece doesn't matter the content of what they realise, they can afford the group to be labeled as fail since they are the heads of the companny is stardom. Heters gonna hate. All this pre presure and media play is unnecessary and only is nice to build the fans is fear so they stan hard when the final product "someday, faraway" get out.

i wish epik high realise something this year but i see there is no media play for them yet.
