YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk Reveals WINNER's Debut May Be Delayed

Fans are expecting to see K-Pop boy group WINNER's to have their debut this February but it seems like they are in for a disappointed after what YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk has to say.

Yang Hyun Suk shared his feelings about WINNER's debut saying,"As the YG label's WINNER's sunbae(senior artists) Psy, Big Bang, and 2NE1 get more spotlight overseas, naturally the anticipation and interest in YG's music from foreign music insiders and fans increased. The foreign interest in YG is now on WINNER, so I feel a bigger burden than the sunbae YG artists in debuting WINNER."

He continue saying, "Even though WINNER hasn't even officially debuted yet, 8,000 fans came to the fanmeeting they had in November in Japan's Osaka. Because of the effects of the YG sunbaes, Japanese fans have a high interest in WINNER even before they debut. Because of this, WINNER's debut album release is even more burdensome."

He also explained, "Lately in Korea, the Disney animation 'Frozen's OST "Let It Go" has taken over the weekly music charts. If you think about it another way, it means that Korean artists and producers has to make better music. I'm included in that, and that also adds onto the burden of WINNER's debut album."

He also shared that even though the agency felt they are burdened, WINNER boys are giving their best effort and works hard on every details about their debut. Yang Hyun Suk said, "The WINNER members are putting their everything into their debut album, staying up all night in working on the album. I'm also supporting them to the fullest. WINNER members themselves know how important the debut album is. WINNER will include self-composed songs in this album to show fans their color. We were aiming to release the album right after the end of 'WINNER TV' at the end of this month. However, the finishing touches are taking longer to make an even better album so it might be later."

YG Entertainment really produced polish artists and hit chart music. Maybe they are up with something big for WINNER boys debut!
