WINNER’s Kang Seung Yoon talked about how his survival show experience affected him as an artist


An interview with Winner (Kang Seung-yoon, Seung-hoon Song, Min-ho Song, Kim Jin-woo) was held at Lotte Hotel L7 Hongdae in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of 19th.

I still remember autumn of 2010. A boy with a guitar in his dry body and a reversed voice, 'instinctively', impressed the entire nation with his presence. It was a perfect red card.

Twenty-five young men now play their music. Kang Seung-yun, who created REALLY REALLY in April last year, sought the public with the winter's tropical pop dance song "Millions".

Kang Seung-yoon commented on the work process of "Millions", "It is ambiguous to identify a certain genre, but the genre that can represent the most representative of" Millions "is Tropical. However, there are not many tropical musical sources. I switched to a guitar sound with little use of flux sync. I thought it would be a good fit because of the tropical nature of winter. "

'Millions' is a song made in the summer while preparing for the 3rd album. Kang Seung-yoon said, "I greedy the perfection, and the correction period became longer. Luckily, the direction of the arrangement with the guitar and the present time have been just right, "he said." I thought that I should be back comin 'this year, so I announced the' Millions, 'which was one of the regular three title song songs.

Not only the sound, but also the lyrics are focused on. About the lyrics of 'Millions' Kang Seung-yun said, "I deliberately intended to listen to those who listen. When I first started making songs, I started with the theme "Everyone has millions of reasons to love each other." I hope that the fans who listen to the song will be the target rather than remembering anyone. "

The starting point was also the reaction of the fans. "Every person has a different love for a person. If someone likes this, someone likes the other way, "said the fan. I got an idea when I saw fans who like my hands, elbows, and knees to see SNS. "When I think about it, I thought it was a part that could be loved when someone saw it."

YG's representative image is hip-hop, but Winner pursues various genres. Kang Seung-yoon said, "Because of the very different nature of the members, they became weapons. The music I first started is not hip-hop. It is one of the characters that made me distant from hip - hop, "he said." In the past, it came as a drawback, but now it is our strength. I am grateful that I have not completely touched YG color. In the past, I wanted to be like the big bang seniors, so I wanted to play individualistic music, but I was able to empathize with the feeling that I was able to leave us. "

Winner, who released a bright and cheerful young atmosphere to 'Millions', worked on most genres. Kang Seung-yun said, "I have never put up a lot of deep jazz or blues songs, but I just did not release the album. I touched almost all genres of songs. Next time I feel a little bit more weighty, or I feel like it would be nice to go back to the way it was when I first came back to the style that appealed to me. "
The reason why Kang Seung-yoon could develop like this was in mind.

8 years ago, he recalled Mnet 'Superstar K2' when he appeared, and he is still studying the words and feedback of Mr. Park Jin-young PD, Mr. Jong-Shin Yun, and Mr. Seung-chul Lee. The most remarkable thing to remember is, 'Why do you call me with your voice, and why am I forced to change my voice?' I am calling much easier now than at that time, "he said. I did not listen to the words from my seniors' experiences. "

Kang Seung-yun, who has gone through two survival programs, from 'Superstar K2' to 'WIN', is now a place to advise trainees through his own experience. When I talked about 'YG Jewelery,' he confessed his sincere heart.

Regarding the 'YG Jewelery' trainees, Kang Seung-yun said, I went to the 'YG jewelry box' and went to my heart. I recently took a chance to make a special review and comment on the friends. I have a great heart. I really have a lot of friends, and I hope it all works out well. "

"Since the number of debutants is limited, all of them can not debut at the moment. So I had a lot of helpful stories from those people who really came to me. I have talked a lot about not being able to broadcast, "he said." Even if those friends are dropped out of the program and continue to live as trainees, the experience of survival is really an opportunity to grow tremendously.

Because it is a broadcast, it will certainly have a fandom for the friends. I think there is no factor to be negative. I hope it will be a good power to move forward by taking advantage of that opportunity as much as possible. "

Regarding the story that can not be broadcasted, he said, "I do not think this is the case for friends who can not do it despite having a camera." "He said," I have to say that my friends, who need to scourge,

Winner, who debuted in 2014, spent five years driving this year. Kang Seung-yoon said, "From five years ago, it has been getting more and more greedy and bigger dreams are still going on. I was really happy when I looked back every five years. I really feel like I have a lot of work and a lot of experience, and it is a great asset to me. "" I wish I could be a person who can help me a lot more when I look forward to my longer life in the future. " .

Kang Seung-yoon, who has shared his mid-teens with the public since the late teens, has grown up to be called the most desirable of growth.
