[benihime99.livejournal.com]

WINNER officially announced that they will be making a debut in South Korea in August, and in Japan in September.

WINNER’s agency YG uploaded on its official blog on August 1 a teaser video clip. The members showcased themselves as a classy idol group, breaking away from their old rookie trainee selves.

After holding a Launching Show on August 6, WINNER will unveil their tracks on August 12 while releasing an offline version on August 14.

This will be followed by the “2014 S/S -Japan Collection-“ that will be held in Japan on September 10 through YGEX. In celebration of this, WINNER is to conduct a “High Touch & Talk” event at Namba Hatch on August 27 and at Shinagawa Stera Ball on August 28.

WINNER will also be launching “WINNER 1st JAPAN TOUR 2014,” a tour in Japan. After releasing their debut album in Japan, they kick start the tour at ZEPP TOKYO on September 11 and will move on to ZEPP SAPPORO on September 23, ZEPP FUKUOKA on September 28, ZEPP NAGOYA on September 30 and October 1, ZEPP NAMBA on October 3 and 4, and lastly at ZEPP TOKYO on October 10 and 11. They are scheduled to travel across 5 cities for 11 performances.

this is all very good beautiful but a tracklist would be lovely

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Tell me something we already don't know Yg.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

So, what time is this debut for EST?
I know for me it'll be sometime tomorrow but I dunno if it'll be in the morning or at night D:
I need to know whether to sleep or not, lol.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

The show is 5 pm kst I think

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that...I searched up a converter and put the times in and it said August 6th @ 4am?
So I can sleep tonight at least, Lol.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's like 10 AM here so I'll be up. Good timing tbh.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Oooh! 10 am is not bad at all. 4 am is just awkward. The sun isn't even up yet at that time. XD

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

The launch show is private anyway so I don't think we'll get info till hours later.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

I felt like they were setting it up for like a live stream or something. Only a few people there at the actual event and everyone else is home otherwise why would they be giving out the time for it so publicly? I have no idea. YG is trying all kinds of things this year. Can't keep up no more. Too old for this.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

It's also 10 am for me and I'm happy I don't have to stay up all night lol

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Ikr, for once it's working out for us europeans.

Also Onions I'm throwing my hat in the ring for the MV post.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I'll probably lose, I'm on vacation. I mean, the last 2 Winner posts on Omona haven't been mine, I'm slacking off smh
Watch out for Zulu, he's the devil, I still don't know how he got the teaser post hmmmm

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Shinee stan, probably got links to Lucifer from taemin.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

If Zulu gets Taemin's solo MV post (which will probably be out before Winner's MV), then it's confirmed and I'm calling a priest, he needs an exorcism

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

its 12 midnight, so it'll be 11am EST for you.

i always get confused by the day, tho. does 12AM mean the midnight it turns to 8.12 or the midnight that all day was 8.12. aigoo, they need to make it like 11:59pm for dummies like me.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

oh, if you're talking about the debut show, and not the video like i thought, then it'll be 4am-5am EST depending on when the show is.

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah, it's 4am August 6th, I gather. So, now I know when to sleep. XD

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I think it's 12 AM this time so 12th August means 12th august.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Looking at this their schedule for August and September is kind of insane

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Funny isn't it, after dragging his ass YG is all of sudden rushing everything to make it all fit in a month.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Rather than funny my immediate thoughts were as follows: Who is coming back in Korea in September, who is promoting in Japan in October, what are the YG Fam Con dates, and when are Team B and Pink Punk debuting..because all of the promos are consolidated because he must be planning other events.

We are still expecting Psy, Epic High, Lee Hi, AkMu, 2NE1 fall mini, Daesung Korean Album, Taeyang Japanese tour, and Big Bang's comeback

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Rumours are that Lee Hi and PSY are up next.

Epik High, AKMU and BB after that probably. Idk if 2NE1 will make a comeback now.

Team B will be filming their show and Pink Punk have been seen alot coming in and out of YG so I'm assuming there's something going on there. I don't think YG is gonna delay Pink Punk too much now, probably debut late this year/Early next year.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

wow they are really going for Japan. UGH WHATEVER JUST MAKE THEIR DEBUT COME FASTER

winner's debut:

[ckino (from livejournal.com)]

😄》😍》😚》😮》😯》😐》😧

[kai-minami.livejournal.com]

at this rate maybe we can stan Team B by the time they're all legal

[vvipforseungri.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna no at this

yg please don't fuck up their korean debut like sm did red velvet. how about we ascertain whether or not winner are still relevant in korea before shipping off a group full of mediocre japanese speakers to japan. i'm still in doubt about their kor releases atm okay.

[vvipforseungri.livejournal.com]

oh and the idea of a tour less than a month into debut is ludicrous to me. at least we're assured that it's gonna be a full length, though

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

+1 to both comments.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

SIGH SIGH EXASPERATED SIGH.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

The members showcased themselves as a classy idol group, breaking away from their old rookie trainee selves.

RME @ classy. shut up lol.
they"re still goofballs just how i like them.
(icu YG trying to make them a group of TOPs or something)

and what, no music show schedule? :/

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

MTE @ group of TOPs.

i've been watching this group from a distance because i REALLY want to be impressed with their debut. YG better stop fucking up long enough for these boys to actually make something of themselves.

[kitty9163.livejournal.com]

I know they have established a fanbase in Japan already but a Japan tour at the beginning of a debut? Wow

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

so what happens at the launching show if the songs aren't released until a full week later???

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

what kind of 15 second korean debut. they need to wait on a japanese debut and come out big in korea first.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

MESSY.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

Can YG stop releasing the same article over and over again?

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i hope they'll be releasing a full album (like akmu). they need the material if they're going to tour. though fans are probably going to enjoy them doing covers too.

but the concept is like a touring fashion show?

[teacharmer.livejournal.com]

Soooo Random thought/question.. Winner's mv is out on the 12th, and the Red Velvet vid was on the 3rd so who is whose sunbae? What is considered the official debut the mv or the start of the group?
