Winner talks about Block B, OP has squishy feelings

[INT] 140823 Segment from Winner’s Interview about Block B



#. The group that Winner won their very first #1 against was Block B. Song Mino especially has a deep relationship with Block B. This is because he has an attachment with them like no other as they dreamed the same dream, and at one time prepared for debut together with a few of the members.

On the interview day, Song Mino choked on his words from rush of emotions while speaking of his relationship with Block B’s P.O (real name Pyo Jihoon), and shortly thereafter made known his strong friendship with him.

Q. Winner went against Block B for their first win candidacy, how did you feel about that?

(Song Mino) It’s a drama, the story of me and Jihoon (P.O). We were friends since we were young, and we both liked rap since high school. This was the time before I started dieting. We lived together and auditioned together, but then I lost a lot of weight and got in. We thought that we would both get in if we auditioned, but only one person got in and the other one got rejected. So we promised each other, “One day, let’s meet on the same stage”, and we happened to meet on “MCountdown” as nominees for #1. We held each other’s hands tightly and spoke to each other through our eyes while waiting for the reveal for #1.

(Kang SeungYoon) Before the winner was revealed, I saw the two guys (Song Mino and P.O) and I felt a lump in my throat. Regardless of the fact that we were competitors, I was touched that Zico hyung came to us after we won and gave me a hug.

(Song Mino) We went to the Block B hyungs after we won to say sorry but they sincerely congratulated us.

(Lee Seunghoon) I saw them for the first time, but they even congratulated our other members. I’m thankful because they congratulated Winner’s #1 the most sincerely among the people there.

So damn touching and precious <3

also this, lmao i noticed its there in the text but putting it this way it makes me think a little bit. Not about 'bitterness' but how block b seems to genuinely like winner? Idk, it feels like the other groups might be a little afraid of approaching the boys? ;; either way, their relationship with block b is precious ;;

winner said block b were the only ones to sincerely congratulate them, lol i can totally imagine the other groups bitterness

it makes sense since Mino and P.O. have been friends for ages and Mino used to train with Block B. Idk if other groups are ~afraid of them tho

The quote is:

"I’m thankful because they congratulated Winner’s #1 the most sincerely among the people there."

Most sincerely, not the only ones. I do think the other groups are worried ot approach them. Idk why tho.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

That posh look tbh. Jk KSY was already a star before WINNER so maybe the other rookies look at him as a senior.

[pbutterlion.livejournal.com]

the quote on the tweet doesnt say the only ones to ever congratulate them! but im wondering if they seem unapproachable to other groups...

[adenar.livejournal.com]

bom mentioned that other girl groups don't tend to approach 2ne1 so i wonder if it's a yg thing?

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

big bang has friends within kpop, 2ne1 just never had the opportunity to get on variety or these other idol-participation activities (bc yg thinks they wouldn't be good which is bullshit bc they would've eventually learned; also he wanted them to be seen as exclusive)

[ckino (from livejournal.com)]

I wonder about that too when i read that before but then again the boys looks weird so people probably feel akward to approach them.
Imagine a bunch of tall attractie guys but one keeps flailing all over the place, one looks lost, one have a weird droppy eyebrow & looks annoyed most of the time, another one encourage the flailing one and proceed to join flailing and the leader keep bowing 90° to everyone.

This gif is going straight to my stash.

that's what i thought when i first saw it lol

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

I read this on tumblr earlier, and it made me so happy. I love when kpop groups support each other.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

won't lie got tears in my eyes reading thing. so happy they got to fulfill their dreams together!!

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

This. I'm so happy it's come full circle - Winner won and Block B was happy for them, now it's the other way round, everyone loves each other. More of this, please. (Now if only we can stop pitching female groups against each other, that'd be great too.)

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

Ugh people love making women be each others biggest enemies, then love talking about how "catty" women can be. Female solidarity must scare them.

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

I have a dream. And in that dream, 2NE1 and SNSD will be promoting at the same time, and the numbers are rattling and, lo and behold, one wins, and they fall into each others' arms, weeping with joy for the ones that won, and with regret for the ones who lost.
And there is much rejoicing.
And the next one is a tie and everyone parties together.

So beautiful my precious

let's cry some more

the day Mino debuted with BoM


these guys are too much </3

[kjesta.livejournal.com]

Noooo, not that video! This shit was so hard to watch the first time, and I didn't even know who Mino was or why everyone was crying.

Re: let's cry some more

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Aww, no. And then they disbanded...what kind of life.

Re: let's cry some more

[hippodameia.livejournal.com]

Not trying to hijack your post, but here's a longer clip with English subs and a fuller explanation if anyone's interested...



It's really unusual to see Block B so out of it, especially Mr. Stoic Leader Zico.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this! gawd now I'm drowning.

RE: Re: let's cry some more

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't have watched this as now I'm bawling.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

OMG T___T

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Mino and PO's relationship is really precious. You can tell they're close friends when they hugged like that the other day but now it's confirmed. I live for adorable friendships tbh.
