WINNER fans plan to close their wallets to protest what they feel is a delayed comeback from their favorite idol group, reports Soompi.

WINNER's official fan club INNER CIRCLE warned that they would be boycotting the WINNER's DVD (2015 WWIC in Seoul) because of how the label's "failure" to handle the group's comeback.

"We are going to boycott since YG has acted on its own and delayed WINNER's comeback," said the fan club on October 30.

INNER CIRCLE has filed an online petition which explains the boycott as well as their reasons for taking such a drastic action.

The fan club complained that YG has been pushing back the group's comeback and lack of new songs. They also recalled how WINNER's debut was delayed from October 2013 to August 2014, and fans now worry that the comeback will be similarly pushed back by almost a year.

Other fans reportedly are siding with INNER CIRCLE, showing their sympathies on how badly the WINNER fans miss their favorite group.

"Honestly, if the WINNER fans are boycotting, YG should know this is serious business. YG, please think about what benefits the agency and how you can grow your fandom," said another fandom, reports Soompi.

But despite the raised threat of a boycott, YG Entertainment chose to keep mum about the situation. "We have nothing to say about this issue, and we are still planning WINNER's comeback," the company reportedly said.
