WINNER Shoots Album Cover: YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk Clears Calendar To Prepare For Debut

It's been a big week for viewers of the 2013 reality show "Who Is Next: WIN."

On Tuesday, less than 48 hours after the losing team from the television program, (which pitted two teams of aspiring pop stars together for the chance to become the next YG Entertainment boy band), still known as Team B, wrapped up a pair of surprise return performances onstage at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, the label announced the winning team, now known as WINNER, is preparing for the release for their debut album.

"Recently we had a meeting on the music video," YG Entertainment CEO and co-founder Yang Hyun Suk told the Korean publication TV Report on Tuesday.

"It will be filmed soon. Currently, they are photographing the album jacket. We are trying out different concepts to produce the best content."

The K-pop music mogul claims he is currently clearing his schedule to make sure WINNER's debut is successful.

"Getting the first step right is important," Yang said. "I am devoting all of my energy [to WINNER's debut] and preparing for it with great caution. We want to give the fans something great."

The YG CEO also explained this was also his reasoning behind delaying the WINNER album, which was originally slated for release in February.

"The expectations for WINNER's debut album are quite high among the fans," he said.

"The delay in release meant breaking a promise to them. The fans are very enthusiastic about WINNER, so they have a great interest in them. I feel bad, but having them debut with just an average album would let the fans down even more."
