WINNER invited to China’s Most Popular Holiday Show

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment’s new boy group WINNER proved their high popularity in China, being invited to the country’s most popular holiday season entertainment show.

WINNER is invited to “2014-2015 Hunan Satellite TV’s New Year’s Concert (“Hunan TV New Year’s Concert) that will be held on December 31 at 7:30pm at Guangzhou International Sports and Entertainment Center, to perform “empty” and “Just another boy”.

“Hunan TV New Year’s Concert” is a special end-of-year show that wraps up the past year and celebrates the new year, which is live-broadcasted nationwide in China. It is also one of the most popular shows in the country, which recorded the highest viewership rating last year.

Notably, WINNER’s appearance in the show is drawing a big attention, as WINNER is the first-ever foreign artist appearing in the show in which usually top Chinese stars perform.  WINNER has stood on the stage of YG Family’s China concert or China concert of 2NE1′s world tour but has carried out no official promotion in the country. Considering that, WINNER’s appearance in the show is very exceptional.

Meanwhile, WINNER will meet Chinese fans at “Worker’s Gymnasium” on January 10, at Shanghai “Grand Stage” on January 17, at Shenzhen “Bao’An Gymnasium” on January 24 next year, by holding “WWIC 2015″

Damn, YG spending all this money to inflate Winner's success. Slay a bit!

These fumes

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

Effortlessly slaying

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Lol the title. EXO will also be there.

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

i'm guessing EXO isn't considered a foreign act because they have chinese members and promote in mandarin

[srybutno.livejournal.com]

lmao @ this article like are they for real

[150daysoffall.livejournal.com]

bitterness all over this post smh

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

EXO and Zhang Liyin baby will be there too, can't wait!
Now I want a Zhang Liyin duet with Chen again for this show.

I'm happy for them, I hope they are gonna be great performances! :3

Congrats to winner. Esp given they've not promoted in China. Yg really wants those album sales. I just hope they do well.

[marsinblue.livejournal.com]

yess, spread your charm around Winner =)

[wasamin.livejournal.com]

Yg Stans lmaooooooo

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Wow, congrats.

Oh the bitter in this post. No one cares who else is going cause they didn't just debut in August...which is why it would be a big deal. Unless other rookies are going....?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Gurllll...my thoughts from your lips lmao...they can't let Winner, freshly debuted in August, live?

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

QQ Music (they recently made a partnership deal with YG) must have been pulling some strings to make this happen. But congrats for Winner! This is a huge opportunity for them. I just wish they performed Go Up or old version of Smile Again instead of Just Another Boy.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

LOL EXO stans staying pressed.

[wasamin.livejournal.com]

U ofc wld kno a thing or two about being pressed ;)

[ckino (from livejournal.com)]

Lmao

Surprised at the level of bitterness in the comments. I don't think I've ever seen that in a WINNER post before.

[nolza.livejournal.com]

winner posts are usually peaceful but this'll be sm stans congregating to fume over the lack of exo mentions i expect (why people expect the official yg-life site to mediaplay artists other than their own i have no idea)
they're so easily threatened lol... they can just make their own exo hunan post tho

[areebyee.livejournal.com]

Lol exo stans pressed over a newer group, I feel old.

[airyclouds.livejournal.com]

LOL random as fuck that they got in but it's great exposure for WINNER and YG to do the appearance. The real criticism is from C-netizens, they don't know the group appearing since they haven't promoted in China. I don't think people are pressed at the "lacking mention" of EXO, it's the article full of LOLs like they are the first to do this appearance. EXO is apparently gonna attempt to sing in Canto for the Andy Lau tribute too. Hope there's some cute interactions between the two groups again.

Are Kim SooHyun and Lee MinHo on Hunan's special? I thought they might appear at the other two. Nana is at one of the others as well I think.
