WINNER TV EP 1: Winner is Back! ( WINNER로 돌아왔다! ) - A Review by giditopi

WINNER is BACK! Kang Seungyoon, Song Minho, Lee Seunghoon, Kim Jinwoo and Nam Taehyun from 'YG WIN : Who Is Next' as Team A, now they're back as WINNER

Winner TV is a program that features YG's newest boyband, WINNER. Winner consists of Leader Kang Seungyoon, Rapper Song Minho, Rapper & Choreographer Lee Seunghoon, Main Vocal Maknae Nam Taehyun and Vocal Kim Jinwoo.Winner has been chosen by audience from a harsh battle in YG's Survival Program 'WIN : Who Is Next' which they won against Team B in October 25, 2013. With their talent in rapping, singing, choreograph, composing and making lyrics, Winner will prepare their debut through Winner TV. 

YG drop the first announcement in December 7, first video Teaser in December 10, and second video teaser in December 12 and First Picture Teaser in December 12. 

Well, the teaser really told us that we will see every single thing about Winner, from their good to their bad point kkkkk. Winner TV First aired in Friday, December 13th in Naver and Mnet Channel. In this first episode, Winner TV show us mostly their preparation to go to Japan and their first stage in DOME as opening Stage of BIGBANG' DOME Tour. There're also appearance of Psy and YG's CEO Yang Hyun Suk. The opening animation of Winner Tv for me is really fresh, even actually I only easily spot Nam Taehyun (because of his 5:5 hair, lol) It's also have been announced that Seungyoon and Taehyun also took part in making the soundtrack for Winner Tv as their opening song.

In this very first episode, the boys preparing their outfit for their first airport fashion. Let's take a look at them one by one kk.

MINO
It's his first time going overseas, that's why he's really excited about this. He bought new Travel Bag and give it a name "Pabyung" or "troops" because it has military feels kkkk Well, his small talk with his "Pabyung' is really cute and funny kk. He also tried various coat and said that if he's too stylish he will look funny (Mino-yah, Let's High Five)

SEUNGHOON
He also bought new travel bag (same brand as Mino, and probably they're shopping together) and also give it a name "Bumblebee" because it's similarity to a character in Transformers. While preparing for his clothes, He also showed us that he has new pet, A 5 month old girl Chihuahua named Lee Hee (you must called him with a falsetto! kk) and he hopes that Lee Hee will also be famous like Gaho (GD's famous dog). Well actually I think Seunghoon raised a pet to prevent him not to be forever alone, because there are Namsong and Jinyoon, kk

JINWOO
With the help of Seungyoon (with his nagging kk) prepares for his airport fashion. He was about to bring all of his coat, but Seungyoon warned him that he will not only have 1 airport fashion, there'll be more, and since his oufits are limited, he really need to prepared it well kk 

SEUNGYOON
Instead of preparing his airport fashion, he helps (read: nagging) and tease Jinwoo because of Jinwoo's fashion sense, lol. He did that because he's already preparing (and satisfied with) his airport fashion kk. He also told us that he only use 1 panty for 2 days because he doesn't sweat a lot, one more! He also changed his pants casually in front of camera!!! (well YG blur it of course) I really laugh at this part, how can someone do such a thing in an international broadcast, kk indeed High-D personality. He also said that because of his skinny body, he doesn't need to unbutton the pants to wear it. (Note: Seungyoon-ah you need to think about sanitary more)

TAEHYUN
From what I see and from my own research, lol. I think Taehyun is an Internet addict, in WIN program, he used to stick around with his iPad and in Winner TV he always checked his phone, and even for packing he also search it in Naver search portal, lol. He started to pulling out his clothes from his wardrobe thoughtlessly (like a Diva) kk. He choose Denim on denim and said that it looks like vacation to Europe kk

We can see that the boys really excited to go to Japan for the first time, they're playing around with each other and admiring Japan's view (esp the hyung line) and ended up sleeping with their mouth open kk, except maknae Taehyun, he even had tissue stuck in his noise but still posing like a model kk

The boys get more excited after seeing their first stage in Seibu Dome, they also felt thankful to Bigbang for giving them this big opportunity, Seunghoon even kneel down kk. They started their rehearsal and unfortunately it's not easy. Seungyoon still can't memorize his Japanese lyrics (probably because it only changed the day before) and Taehyun pointed by YG staff that he shouldn't keep extending the mix out, they also had difficulty in rearranging their dance for Go Up. For me, this is really good chance for them to learn and  improve their performance skill which is hopefully will help them to be a pro artist :)

Now, it's time for the boys to take some rest in a hotel. Seunghoon suggest a game to choose the hotel room, one member will choose from room 1005 or 1009,  without letting anyone know, so if there're 4 people choose the same room, 1 member will have their own privacy to use the room himself. Taehyun thought that it is a brain game, with his speculation, he choose room 1009. Mino, knew that Taehyun choose room 1009, so he avoided that room and choose room 1005. Seungyoon choose room 1009, both Seunghoon and Jinwoo ended up in room 1005 with Mino, which unfortunately only has 2 beds.

Jinwoo said that Taehyun talks a lot and even screaming in his sleep which make him scared, also he said that Seungyoon rarely washing up before going to bed, its a fortunate for him to get room without Taehyun&Seungyoon kk. Seunghoon also avoiding Seungyoon because he really nags a lot. Taehyun's spiritless greeting to Seungyoon really cracked me up. Their relationship is kinda different from what I've been thinking. Maybe it's also because he avoids Seungyoon nags too? kk The atmosphere between 1005 and 1009 room is really diferent, hyung line really messed up the room and seems like they have a lot of fun while maknae line's room are kinda gloomy kk

They also had their final rehearsal, unfortunatley Jinwoo got off-key (because in-ear problems) that''s why he become nervous, thankfully Mino help him to gain his confidence. And also I really wanna say thank you soooo much to all Japanese VIP, they're really supportive, they also recognize Winner, and give them warm welcome and even bringing placard for Winner.

My fav moments? 1st : Namsong, Jinyoon and Hoon-hi moments

2nd: The boys showing their passport photo

Winner TV also showed us Passport pictures from every member. Seunghoon- normal, Jinwoo- normal, Taehyun -looks like a girl (what happened to ur hair?), Mino -I ended up laughing so hard at his passport, seems like he forced to do that pic in a hurry, and Seungyoon - Kang Jun Pyo (Goo Jun Pyo from Boys Before Flowers Hairstyle). Poor Mino, he makes a lot of excuses and begging not to reveal it but the member keep reveal it kk. 

3rd : Roommate choosing game (sooo happy to see new side of Taehyun and Jinwoo's real personality) 

Heol, it's really a long post kk, I've been waiting for Winner TV since Oct 25, so I'm soooo happy after YG finally release it :) and for the next episode, I think it will be more interesting, more games and member real personality will come out and hopefully Kangnam Duo will get closer kk. And I really wanna thanks Jeni from Onewomansubs and Winnersubs for providing high quality translation for international fans :) Let's thank them! And as always, feel free to comment and don't forget to watch it in Winner Official Youtube Channel

Here's the First Episode of Winner if you missed it :)
