WINNER (Hangul: 위너) is a South Korean boy band formed in 2013 by YG Entertainment and debuted in 2014. It currently consists of four members, Jinwoo, Seunghoon, Mino and Seungyoon. Originally a five-member, Taehyun later departed from the group in November 2016.

The group was formed through the 2013 reality survival program WIN: Who is Next, where they competed as "Team A" against other trainees from YG Entertainment for the chance to debut as the first YG boy group in eight years, since the debut of Big Bang. At the conclusion of the program, the name "WINNER" was given to Team A after they won all three rounds of public voting.

What do ya'll think we are in store for WINNER's and possible solo releases in 2019?

 

[Rukia]

Hello gals and lads. I was just about to make a WINNER artist thread. Good thing I found this one. I will be spamming here from now on

What do ya'll think we are in store for WINNER's and possible solo releases in 2019?

They said they wanted to comeback twice this year just like last year but it looks like that won't be possible now with the delays and Jinwoo's enlistment. I'm guessing they're gonna comeback once and then hiatus sigh and solo promotions for Seungyoon. Those are the things I'm almost certain with at least.

They've been teasing Jinwoo's album since last year but they're really running out of time so I don't know how that works. I guess they changed their mind that's why his solo (and Seunghoon's) will be put in their next full album instead. I hope we get MVs for each. Mino also expressed his desire to comeback with another solo album this year.
