WINNER TV EP 7: 위너 동계 체육대회 (Winner 'Winter Olympicsl') A Review by giditopi

Winner Sapporo Olympic Festival, Winner Night Horror Special, plus Winner Cover of  'Missing You' by 2NE1!

In the beginning Episode of Winner TV 7th Episode, we will still have a glimpse of Winner-Bigbang moment, this time Winner boys finally explained their secret mission to Bigbang and the Winner is Taehyun, who got 'You're the best' from Seungri. Congrats Taehyunieeee~~

Winter Olympics

Now, it's time for Winner Olympic Special! They went to T Resort in Hokkaido. They also read their Olympic vows (in a funny way ofc). The Winner will get prize money!! and after hearing that everyone become sooo excited!! kkk uri Winner ^^

yes, Winner can ride cool vehicle too kk

The first game was running across the snow-laden fields. They have to run across the slope, around the flagpole and turn back to the finish line. Mino said that he's good at everything, Taehyun also said that Mino's good, only according to Mino kk. Seungyoon, Mino and Taehyun said that Seunghoon is good because he has been dancing for a long time so he has a fit body kk. Mino also praise Seungyoon because he has good stamina, while Taehyun praise Jinwoo because Jinwoo has some training from Imja-Do kkkk.

Race Start!! We can see clearly Taehyun and Seunghoon surpass the others, while Mino starting to foul  on Jinwoo, and Seungyoon just running smoothly at the back, unfortunately Taehyun lost his balance after reaching the flagpole, and Mino also obstructs Seunghoon's smooth path! Who is the winner? Seunghoon! and the runner up is Taehyun. Seungyoon seems like will get 3rd place, but remember! Jinwoo has a Imja-Do power kk he surpass Seungyoon and become the 3rd place, while Mino? He's the last because he has his own game to obstructs everyone path kkkk he's too tired to run because of that kkkk

Congratulations Hoon-sain Bolt!!

The second game was Draw and Race. they choose their ski sled from Paper-Rock-Scissors game, since Seungyoon won he choose the real sled, Mino used plate because Seunghoon advise him kk, Jinwoo used the ski, Taehyun used inflatable tube, while Seunghoon chose the frying pan. The Winner? Jinwoo, with Taehyun become the runner up (again). They also had a bonus game to get their lunch. Seunghoon had Double deluxe lunchbox, Jinwoo got deluxe lunchbox, Mino had rice ball, Seungyoon got regular lunch box and Taehyun got none kk. So he's just acted as a hungry grandpa and asked other member to give him food.

The third game was Wrestling. Jinwoo said that usually all member will lose to Taehyun. The first round was Taehyun vs Seungyoon, honestly I was expecting Taehyun will win, but surprisingly Seungyoon won! The second round was Mino vs Jinwoo, before the game started, Jinwoo whispered 'be nice to me' to Mino kkkkk. From their body, we can really see that Mino has an advantage because Mino is taller and bigger than Jinwoo, but since it's a Winner competition, we can't expect much hahaha, this time surprisingly Jinwoo won! Now it's time for doubleseung battle! Of course, Seunghoon won against Seunghyoon kk. For the final round everyone cheered for Seunghoon because he will treat winner member ramen if he won, and yes he won!! Since he has 2 Gold medal, he got the prize money! Congrats Seunghoon!

Everyone chasing Seunghoon to get his money kkkk

Winner Horror Special

This time, we will see more of Winner member natural and funny side when they're scared kk. Member only knew that they will have a New Year interview, but the didn't know until they got out from their hotel and found another 'friend' waiting for them kk. 

Jinwoo

After safely arrived to the Interview place, he cutely say hi to the camera kk, and begin to thank his father and mother, suddenly the white woman ghost appear and he started to be frozen but he also couldn't stop smiling and laughing, actually i saw that he will continue the interview, but he decided to go back to his hotel, and in his way back to his hotel he met another ghost, this time he scream soooo loud kk and he run much faster than Winter Olympic also he easily found his way back to hotel, which is usually he always lost kk. He also acted naturally in front of his member to disguise everything kk.

Seunghoon

Unlike Jinwoo, he thought that member will do a surprise event for him or someone will propose to him, and he just sits in front of camera. Even before he finish his thank you message the white ghost already appear while crawling on the snow which is scarier than in Jinwoo's case, of course Seunghoon got shocked and he started to scream, he also started to throw snow to the ghost and finally know that the ghost is just winner staff kk. He went back to the hotel and also met the joker ghost, unlike Jinwoo he just kiss the ghost forehead casually kkkkk so cute of you Seunghoonie.

Seungyoon

He started the interview with his guilt toward his mom, he said that he always stiff also doesn't talk to her too much. Then, when he wanted to say more, the fake hand came out from the snow and he's shocked, but he just used the hand as mic casually kkkk. He also met the white ghost, but he's just shocked, not scared i think, he even said 'Annyeoghaseyo' to the joker ghost kk. This kid is actually not scared, PD-Nim you have failed! kk

Taehyun

He said his thought very fast and after hearing suspicious noise, he started to talk faster and wrapped up the interview too fast and couldn't met the white women ghost, he just met the joker ghost but he already scared and he started to negotiate with the cameramen and ended up being the white ghost for Mino. 

Mino

Even before arrived at the Interview place, he already met the joker at the elevator! We can clearly see him scared by the joker and he become so stiffed and after that he started to being scared for nothing. kkk uri rapper. After arriving at the interview place, he started to talk about Winner, then he heard a scary sound and looks scared by the sound, he even react to tiniest sounds kk. After that Taehyun came out and clearly Mino couldn't even recognize him, Mino was too scared and he ran away from Taehyun but he met the joker! Poor him, PDnim asked him to get back to the interview place and Taehyun reappears as ghost but this time Mino started to attach him with snowballs and Taehyun couldn't hide his identity again. This Horror night also ended with Namsong scene ^^

Winner member shocked reaction!

and this is Mino's compilation of shocked reaction kk, mianhae Mino-yah hehehehe

In a summary, i think we can clearly see that the most scaredy cat member in Winner is Mino while the bravest member is Seungyoon, kkk leader line. For Taehyun, i think he also a scaredy cat person, that's why he even asked the staff to help him kk, uri maknae. My fav horror's scene could be Mino and Seunghoon, honestly i keep watching it again and again kkkkk

Winner Cover of 2NE1 Missing You

For me, I really like Winner version of Missing You, even it's not perfect. Since it's a cover, i think Winner intention is just making this song to fit in their style, not to surpass 2NE1 original version. That's why no need to compare between 2NE1 vs Winner version. Winner has unique version because they add the rap parts and the melody is different. Actually, 2NE1 Missing You is my top 3 song that I always listen to  everyday after they released it, now Winner cover also made it to top5 kk. I can clearly hear their unique voice one by one and when when they sang together, omg! this is daebak! Actually there's not much idol who can sing well with just acoustic version, but they really did a good job, and this Missing You cover from male group is a fresh one. Ah yeah, i also read many supportive and positive comments from netizen it's nice that k-netz love this cover.

As always, let's thanks Jeni from Onewomansubs and Winner Subs Team for their awesome high quality translations, editing and their hard work. Also, always feel free to comment and don't forget to watch it in Winner Official Youtube Channel (click the caption button for English subs).

For today's episode, they will make a parody of Heirs and seems like Taehyun will be Eunsang?? kk. Have a nice day everyone!!

WINNER TV EP 5 : Imja-Do Tour (임자도 여행기) - A Review by giditopi

Imja-Do, Winner-Bigbang Moment and curious about Winner fortune?? Here you go, Winner TV 5th Episode for you!

In this episode, we will see more and more Winner charms and their personality, especially Jinwoo. This time, they have a physiognomist predict their fortune, trying to get close to Bigbang member and also, they went to Imja-Do! Let's go go go!!

Fortune Telling Session 

In this session, each member will be 'read' by a physiognomist and he will describe member personality and fortune by their face. Let's see Winner member's fortune one by one.

Mino

He has a high possibility of having troubles related to women, because he will not be able to stay just with one women *bad boy alert* he also has a lot of desire for women. The physiognomist predict that Mino will ended up with an older women *hurraaaaaay~ Mino come to noona~~~*

Jinwoo

He is an easy-going and warm-hearted person, he used to start making a lot of project but don't always get them done. He is also gonna be the last member who will meet the right women, but his luck in 2014 is positive especially in Japan and China. 

Seunghoon

He is kind, rational, innocent, has a lot of desire for money, but good at living life. Just like Mino, he also has a lot of desire for Women. The good thing is that he is a family man who treats his women well, but his quality is slightly off kkkk

Taehyun

An introverted, extremely proud, too much daydreaming or imagining things that will never happen, or you can say he is creative, but he get worries all the time. He is the type that cannot be controlled by everyone, He is a Macho man style, but he will treat his women terribly. He has good luck in money and will has very nice women in the future. 

Seungyoon

He is warm-hearted person, an introverted, has excellent analytic skills and also an innate family man, he will be really good husband in the future :)

Winner

As for Winner as a group, each member will acknowledged his talent in his field, but they have to keep their chemistry not to get into a fight. For Mino who has bright personality, his energy is a bit repressed by Seungyoon and Seunghoon, and beat down properly by Taehyun (heol, namsong kk) but his soulmate is Jinwoo (kyaaaaa Minwoooo <3). Their luck in 2014 will be good, since YG also has a good luck for the next 4 years too. As for Winner with YG Family comparison,you can see it by this picture.

Aigoo poor Mino and lucky Jinwoo got GD (my bias in Bigbang)  <3 kk

Winner and Bigbang Moment

This time, Winner will approach Bigbang member to get close to them, the first contestant is Jinwoo. Just like his fortune said, he is compatible with GD, that's why he choose GD as his target. He prepares a cover of Who You, and I swear this is really good to hear, I really wanna hear the full version of it. Winner member help him to prepare and Taehyun even acts as G-Dragon and he just become the diva N-Dragon kkk.

Jinwoo went to Bigbang's room and he greet everyone there nervously, thanks to Seungri, he let him sits next to him and asked him what he'll gonna do. He explained his plans and suddenly GD asked for him to live singing rather than listening to a cover as he originally prepared. I can clearly see that he was soooo nervous when he was singing, but GD praise him^^

look at nervous Jinwoo kkkkk

The next contestant was Seungyoon, he wanted to get close to Taeyang. He even proudly said that he text Taeyang in everyday life, and he prepared to cover Ringa Linga dance, but unfortunately this scene will be aired in next episode, along with another Bigbang-Winner moment, let's just wait :)

Visiting Jinwoo's Hometown, Imja-Do
When they were as Team A, member said that they really wanted to go to Jinwoo's house, and they made a promise if they win the WIN program they would visit Imja-Do. Yess! they went to Imja-Do in November 25th and they also went shopping in Yeonggwang Market to buy for their present fo Imja-Do villagers especially Jinwoo's father. They look pretty popular there kk they even sang 3 song for Ahjummas and got free Yeonggwang Chili Pepper. To make it fun, they play Mandu ga,me and the loser has to eat the chili pepper, and Jinwoo lose kkkk. FYI, Jinwoo also known as "Chili Powder's Son" in Imja-Do ^^ In Imja-Do, they went to a house that Jinwoo was born and playing cart-riding (again Jinwoo lose for his Dongsaeng) kkkk poor hyung.

After they met Jinwoo's father, they also follow Jinwoo's father to go fishing. Whenever they go, there will be always funny thing for Winner. This time, when member all fishing, Mino and Taehyun seemed caught a big fish, but it's too hard to pull it out, and something strange happened, when Taehyun pull his rod, Mino felt that his rod was tugged down, and ended up knowing that their rod was actually connected. Daebak! The Sea even ship for Namsong!

Namsong, everyone! kk

After Fishing, they felt tired and our maknae Taehyun prepared Ramyeon for everyone, Jinwoo's father also gave them Kimchi and they're going back to Imja-Do. They also met Jinwoo's first love, Seulbi and begin their preparation for the their gift for Jinwoo's father. Mino, Hoon and Jinwoo were the catering team, they prepared for the food and maknae KangNam line were the PR team, they invite villagers.

Jinwoo and His father singing together :')

The event that they prepared finally started, they sang trot and having fun with Imja-Do villagers, and even Jinwoo father also singing with them :) I can see that they're really having fun with the elders. Jinwoo also dedicated a song for his father, it's a song from Psy with the title 'Father' and he also made a letter for his father and read it in front of everyone, it's really sad, we could see the member at the back also holding back their cry. 

Sooo, after reviewing this, honestly i have something to ask. Where was Jinwoo's mom and sisters? Why do i have not seen every single scene with Jinwoo's mother and sister? Why he said he has not seeing Seulbi for 10 years? Is it because he never come back to Imja-Do? I have discussed it a lot with my twitter friend but still really curious about this, maybe someone can help me to answer this? kk

Once again, let's thanks Jeni from Onewomansubs and Winner Subs Team for their awesome high quality translations, editing and their hard work, please don't ever rush them to subs! As always, feel free to comment here and don't forget to watch it in Winner Official Youtube Channel.

WINNER TV EP 4 : Their Sincerity (그들의 속마음) - A Review by giditopi

Kangnam Hot Spring Scene, Hello Winner, Winner Quiz plus Meokbang and Member Letter, Who's Excited for This Episode??

The 4th episode of Winner TV that we've been waiting for is finally aired! This episode show us soooo many scene that we've been waiting since the first episode. Yes, 'almost' everything! kk. The first scene is about Hello Winner in Japan. More than 8000 fans went to the venue with their enthusiasm to meet Winner. They prepared a lot! From Placards, costume, and even make up. There are also fanboys that dressed up as Taehyun and Mino. Namsong!! I see that Japanese fans are very passionate about Winner First Fanmeeting, and honestly i feel really envy to them to have such an opportunity. After the event, Leader Seungyoon said that this event was really heart-touching. Congratulations Winner Japan Fans ^^

look at the amount of Japanese fans! daebak!

After they have Hello Winner event, they went to their Ryokan to have their dinner. It's a Kaiseki-Ryori. Yups! that Japanese Haute Cuisine! But, it's not an ordinary dinner! Member must answer a question correctly to eat the delicious meat kk. 

Global Common Sense Quiz START!!

The first question was the capial of Argentina. Mino confidently answer Luxemburg! Ddaeng! Everyone laugh at him because the real answer is Buenos Aires and Seunghoon got it right! The next question is the capital of Vietnam, Seunghoon answer Ho Chi Minh, ddaeng! Seungyoon answer Hainan, ddaeng! and Jinwoo answer Haiwan, kkkkk ddaeng!! And finally Seunghoon answer Hanoi, but he forgot to say 'Mun-gwa' or " Liberal Arts" so sneaky Seungyoon took his answer kk. The third question was the capital of Australia, Taehyun confidently said Sydney, ddaeng! Suddenly Jinwoo said 'isn't Sydooney?' Lol, even if I don't watch it with english subs I still laugh so hard because of him kk. Finally Taehyun got it right and he chose to eat the meat which made everyone jealous kk. The next question was 'who was the famous artist and scientist of the renaissance?' Capable Seunghoon once again confidently answered 'Leonardo Da Vinci' but he spelled it 'Leonadeuro', that's why sneaky Seungyoon took his answer again and got it right, omoooo poor Hoonie.

Winner first reaction after hearing that they can't eat all of those delicious food freely kk

The next question was to say hello in 5 languages within 10 seconds, Taehyun and Seungyoon tried but failed and finally Mino did it, and he chose to eat Seunghoon's food kk. The way he ate totally fit for meokbang kk. Next question was the father and mother of music, the answer is Bach and Handel and Taehyun got it right. He ate almost all of his hyung meat (except Mino) and he share it with Mino and Hoon. The next question was to show how Mauri Tribe of New Zealand greet each other, this time Mino and Hoon got it right. Remember!! There's no such a thing as a free lunch! Since Mino and Hoon was fed by Taehyun, this time they have to follow Taehyun's rule and let Taehyun fed them with his choice of food kk and he chose butter. Omoooo evil maknae! The last question!! What is the name of Shim Cheong in 'Filial Daughter Shim cheong', everyone guessing it and finally Jinwoo got it!!

Friendship Test (Sincere Letter)
This time, Winner member can send an anonymous letter towards member that they like (put it in White box) or disappointed at (put it in black box) and they really made the letters uniquely kk. After they put it in a box, staff hide their letter and they have to find their own letters.

Mino : Follow The Ducks 
I really ship mino with ducks! He looks like cute kindergarten playing with his friend and his outfit also match with the scene well, his rap is totally funny and cute. But the cutest thing was when he asked the duck 'huh? what did you say? you want me to sing that song?' kkkk in the ast episode we saw him cussing, but now? kk

Mino asking Rapper Ori kk

His letter is for Jinwoo and Seungyoon. For Jinwoo he put it in white box and the letter was about how he thanked Jinwoo because he got more confident whenever he's in front of him. For Seungyoon he told Yoonie to stop telling him "eat less" because he has his own Fat Management project and he said it huts him kkkk. Remember Mino-yah, he is KangNag!

Seunghoon and Jinwoo : Dorm
I found that Jinwoo is really talkative and funny, he keep making joke to Hoon and cutely teasing his dongsaeng with his Imja-Do accent kk. Indeed his deer eyes are sharp, he found the key and also his box faster than Hoon.

Jinwoo teasing Hoonie kk

Seunghoon's letter is for Jinwoo. He said that even Jinwoo is the oldest, but he is the most innocent and untainted member and that's why he give him courage and praise him also he hope that Jinwoo will be more confident.

Jinwoo's letter is both for Taehyun. He expressed his thankful for Taehyun in that letter.

Seungyoon and Taehyun : Hot Spring
This could be the scene that everyone were waiting for kk. They search their letter here and even with Kang Detective helps they couldn't find it outside the water, yes they have to enter it kk. They seemed enjoy their time in hot spring rather than searching their letters (lol, viewers too kk). After enjoying it (with extra accident from Seungyoon), they finally realized that it could be outside the water, kk and Taehyun found both of their letter. 

KangNam Hot Spring! Heaven? lol

Seungyoon's letter is for Taehyun and he put it in both white and black box, it is about Taehyun's problem which only think about himself, but he also expressed how he thanked him because Taehyun also changed a lot.

Taehyun's letter is for all member, since he felt sorry but also thanked towards them, he decided to made that appreciation letter to all his hyung.

Physiognomy Test
Winner member also has an opportunity to have a physognomy test with Park Sung Joon. He said that from his first impression of Winner member, the person that attracted him with pleasant feeling is Mino and the darkest impression is Taehyun. He also said that 'Winner' name has very good effect in Jinwoo. He also said that from Mino's eyebrow, he can see that Mino's inner is strong, has loyalty but there might be few conflics such as be careful of many womens in his life kkkk

Winner Physiognomy Test with Park Sung Joon

Honestly this episode makes me curious more about Taehyun, his inseparable loves to art, why Both Jinwoo and Seungyoon decided to give both of their letter to Taehyun? and also why Winner PD decided to made episode 3 with Taehyun as the main character? also in recent interview, Jinwoo also said talk about Taehyun that he didn't open his mind at first and even in this episode he also admit that he has a difficult way to deal with people and also Taehyun have no confidence that his hyung will wrote sth for him and also will pick him up in ep 3. Maybe after Winner TV ended (noooooooooooo!) i will finally know more about him kk.

Once again, let's thanks Jeni from Onewomansubs and Winner Subs Team for their awesome high quality translations, editing and their hard work, please don't ever rush them to subs! As always, feel free to comment here and don't forget to watch it in Winner Official Youtube Channel. And if you wanna know the meaning of Taehyun's love for art and random thoughts of ep 3&4 you can go to Trang's Tumblr and feel free to hit the like button and reblog!

WINNER Fashion Finder - Part 11 : WINNER TV EP 4: Their Sincerity (그들의 속마음)

Woohoooo! It's Time for Winner Fashion Finder Part 11!! Let's See What Brand that Winner Boys Used in The 4th Episode of Winner TV !

This is really a quick post! Usually I'll spend my time to do Winner TV review first, but not today! I'm gonna post about Winner Fashion's first because from this episode I found soooo many brand kk and for Jinwoo's fans, no need to worry, for Episode 4 I finally found his clothes! 

Let's start with our fake Maknae, the real Hyung Kim Jinwoo. What kind of fashion did he wore in Episode 4? First, I'm going to announce that finally i found his striped Sweater that he used from the first episode until this episode, if I'm not wrong this sweater is from ZARA. Yes, ZARA!! I was shocked after searching this in soooo many Korean or Japanese web store but I found it in Indonesian Zara web store kk. The Sweater that he used is Two-Tone Striped Sweater which costs 39.99 USD. You can easily find it in every Zara's Store i think kk

Still talking about Jinwoo's fashion, in the near-end of this episode, he wore Paisley Deck Crewneck Men To Men Black from THEPARTMENT and it costs 62,000 Won. I heard that this crewneck is a gift from a fan :) I see that Jinwoo loves to wear fan gift, what a really nice oppa kk. Also, I saw him looks soooo much fresh in his scene, is it because he wears glasses? honestly I think he really looks soooo attractive here with his fashionable ripped pants kk

Let's move to another Hyung-line, Hip Hop Baby Lion Lee Seunghoon. The first item that catch my eyes while I was streaming to this episode is Seunghoon's Neon Hat. That's why I keep replaying his scene and found the logo! Yesss, it's Logo Snapback Neon from PAPERCODE. We knew that Seungyoon and Seunghoon like to wear this brand kk. You can buy it for 37,000 Won. It's really cool snapback for me since I really like neon color kk

I also spotted Seunghoon wearing Zip-Up Logo Sweatshirt from COMME DES GARCONS PLAY when they have a mission to find their letters, this sweatshirt costs $311.75.

Another snapback from Seunghoon, in the near-end of the episode I saw him wearing LA Rich Snapback (Black/Silver) from JOYRICH and it costs $53.00. After seeing him in this episode I found that Seunghoon's face is really flawless kk he looks soooo good without make up and don't you think he looks better with bangs?? kk I really ship him with his bangs kk

And this is the last item from Seunghoon that really catches my eyes. It's when Winner have their first Fan meeting, Hello Winner in Osaka, at that time he wore AW1314 Shoulder Zip MA-1 Camo from DISSBORN. For his T-shirt I also think it's from Dissborn too, but I couldn't find it anywhere but I really believe it's Dissborn because there's a lot similarity in the patern, right? kk

Now, let's move to another Rapper-Line, Song Minho aka MINO. There's another eye catching items besides Seunghoon's snapback! Yes, it's Mino's beanie. This Orange beanie really fits well with his scenes with ducks kk and which we can see another cute side of this talented rapper. At that time he wears Acrylic Watch Hat- US Athletic Orange from CARHARTT and it costs USD 21.00. Unfortunately, after I checked this beanie in their official website, this orange color is already sold out! huhu

Now let's move to our Leader, Kang Seungyoon. In this Episode, I spotted him wearing I AM ME BLK from BOWLLER and it costs 53,000 Won. In this scene I also found him really attractive wearing glasses and ooooh his skin looks sooo flawless kk. 

In "Hello Winner" Fan meeting in Osaka, actually I've search for his sweater since first I saw it, but i found nothing, heol. I'm sooo sorry for that, but today I found his pants. At that time he wears Army Zip Skinny Pants (?)  from 99%IS- actually I couldn't find any English translations for this アーミースキニージップパンツ and since I can't read Japanese, so I just translated it from online translator and it said that this means Army Zip Skinny Pants and it costs 21,000 円. 

And now it's time for the last member, our Maknae, Nam Taehyun. I also spotted him wearing 99%IS- item when they have a fan meeting, the Japanese web store said it is アルパカスタジアムジャケット and after I translated it become Alpaca Stadium Jacket. Please kindly correct me if i'm wrong kk. The price for this jacket is 96,600 円. 

The Japanese webstore that I was mentioned before is Fake Tokyo. If you're aware in episode 2, Seungyoon and Taehyun also went to that store to do their market research and they also practiced their busking in front of that store kk. 

Once again, this maybe not accurate, if you wanna correct it just feel free to comment! and I think it's enough for Part 11, Winner TV Episode 4 - Their Sincerity - Fashion Finder Edition ^^ Have a nice weekend!!

WINNER TV EP 3 : WINNER's Loyalty Test ( 위너 의리 테스트 ) - A Review by giditopi

Yay! It's Episode 3!!! Let's See Who is the Winner of Takoyaki Battle! Eh, What Happened on Taehyun? Why is he crying?? Oh Wait KangNag and International Lost Child is Back!

This week episode, the boys went to their first radio program, as you may know it's Yoo In Na's Volume Up. Before that, they practiced in their practice room. Mino felt unsatisfied with his hairstyle, so he went to bathroom, at that time members keep practicing and leave Mino's part kk. He seems Ok with it but also unsatisfied, lol. Good thing is that Taehyun had a better idea to keep Mino's part and because of that Mino is enjoying it and even help Seungyoon with his beatbox kk. If you missed the radio broadcast, you can go to Onewomansubs's Blog. She already subbed it and don't forget to thank her :)

Winner in Yoo In Na's Volume Up

This episode also showing Winner's performance in Osaka, I think they are keep doing better and better in their live performance. After the performance, they went to eat Takoyaki and here it is Takoyaki Making Battle! The Winner will got Certificate and Uniform from the master. Step one, the boys learn how to make it from the master, but because Taehyun can't eat sefood, the master used meat instead kk. If you look closely at Seungyoon, he is the only one that really focused at it kk. The boys tasting it, but it's still hot! kk It's so cute and fun to see their reactions because of the hot takoyaki! Even I can hear the staff laughing and fangirling over them kkkk. And the battle begin! FYI: Taehyun can't grill meat so the member expected him to be in the last place kk kinda reminds me of Seungri, isn't it? kk. They keep adding everything to it kk, and here's the result! Just looking at the decorations, don't you think Taehyun gonna win? hehe

Left to Right : Seungyoon, Seunghoon, Mino. Taehyun, Jinwoo

No no no! The Winner is Our Leader, Kang Seung Yoon! Even his Takoyaki is not that eye-catching, but I think the master think the taste is more important kk, he received the uniform and certificate with happy face. He even suggested the loser to ask a stranger if they know the loser and if they want a sign from him in Japanese. So, who is the loser? It's not that far from him, Lee Seunghoon! kk omooo poor him, he looks so shy haha. But fortunately he found 2 person kk Mino also helped him and he just completed his mission with sooo much embarrassment kk.

Now it's the highlight of today's episode! Taehyun got a mission from the staff. What is his mission?? Because he lacks in aegyo and he doesn't talk that much, he thought that member felt uncomfortable, so he will go out alone (fyi: it's prohibited), eat and pretend that he lost his wallet, then he will call the member and let's see which member will come out and pay for the food.

Taehyun's Mission Start!

Mino
Taehyun's Predictions : Mino will keep doing weird things kk
Reality : After Taehyun messaged him, he become so frustated kk. We can see him worried yet angry at Taehyun. But, finally he gets up and search for Taehyun. After he met Taehyun, we can really see that he is really mad kk. So scary though. He even cussed at Taehyun and at first, he didn't want to sit. But he ended up sitting and hearing Taehyun's explanations, but still he can't hide his anger. Mino explain that he hate what taehyun has did, secretly going out when it's actually prohibited is definitely a No for him, especially when they're also filming Winner TV. But after Taehyun revealed the truth, Mino become sooooo calm and just aksed 'what is this' kk I think he felt relieved that it's just a hidden camera kk. What a dependable hyung! And if you look closely, Taehyun only did his aegyo to Mino kk Namsong shipper keep rising!! lol

Mino cussed at Taehyun kk

Seungyoon
Taehyun's Predictions : He will contact the staff.
Mino's Predictions : Seungyoon will come out angrily
Reality : Even before Taehyun message him, he already bombard him with his nag-message kk. KangNag is baaack!!kk He's asking why Taehyun only read his message without replying kk. He sent total of 5 message before Taehyun finally sent his reply. Well, we can clearly hear his deep sigh after Taehyun said the bill is 1,000 Yen, kkkkkk. Seungyoon finally went out and search for Taehyun, unfortunately staff recognize him and asking where Taehyun was, and he said Taehyun already sleeping and said he wanted to go to a convenience store. It's soooo different from Taehyun's expectations kk.

For Seungyoon, Taehyun even prepared cry acting, and Seungyoon fall for that, lol. He only said 'let's go' with that cool charisma and unfortunately he saw a camera and a staff there, so he knew it was just a hidden camera. kkkk Taehyun-ah your Seungyoon hyung is not that easy to be tricked kk. Taehyun also explained that the staff always watching them through the camera that has been installed in their room, and yes they saw Seungyoon's small fashion show, which made him embarrased kk. It's fun though Seungyoon-ah kk. Seungyoon said that Taehyun learned acting, but why he used it for tricking his hyung kk.

Look at Seungyoon's shocked face after knwoing that staff (and us too kk) saw his Mini Fashion Show kk

Jinwoo 
Taehyun's Predictions : He will come out
Reality : After seeing Taehyun's message, he didn't really bother by it. But he finally reply the message with aegyo kk. Even Taehyun said Jinwoo is really cute. The problem is, Maknaes said that Jinwoo is the type of person that doesn't have a cash and he also known for always get lost kk of course he's our International Lost Child. After finding his wallet he even lied to Hoon and Mino and went out to search Taehyun. Unfortunately he met a production staff, he lied again kk. And yes, Maknae's prediction is right, Jinwoo lost in their hotel!! He couldn't find the way out from hotel!! omg i'm cracking up because of this scene hahaha. he even went to Convenience store and being filmed by the PD to cover up his lying kk.

After cutting the tail of PD, he went back to hotel, but after some time he went up again with someone (probably asking for Taehyun's restaurant) kk. He went in and found Taehyun there and with his natural cute face he asked Taehyun to go. Okay! No angry faces or angry word at all! This hyung, omg! I really wanna have him haha. He's just smiling and smiling kk. Even after he knew that he was being tricked by maknae, he just cutely smiling and show that he got there only with Hotel slippers even forget to wear his insoles kk. So here's another fact! Jinwoo wears insoles! kk No problem Jinwoo oppa, it's not your fault that your dongsaeng are sooo tall kk.

 Look at his smiling face even he knows that he's just being tricked by the maknae! kk

Seunghoon
Taehyun's Predictions : He'll know if it's just a hidden camera and will tell Mino about it
Reality : He's already sleeping kkkkkk So, he must wait for another surprise mission kk.

Sleep well Seunghoon-ah, I'll wait for another mission kkkkk

The show ended just like that kk, it was too short for me, lol. But I think the producer cut some scenes :'( and I couldn't streaming properly because Mnet link is not working as usual, and for me Naver is slower here, heol. Anyway, after this episode, we knew that Winner member care about each other :') They don't really care about the bill, the most important thing at that time is to secure Taehyun. So, Taehyun-ah don't ever doubt your Hyung again!! kk

WINNER TV EP 2 : Five People, Five Colors Group Trip In Japan ( 5인5색 일본 출장기 ) - A Review by giditopi

After successfully airing the first episode, the second episode of Winner TV is out!  This time we'll follow the boys adventure in Japan and also found the boys real personality more. So what happened to Kangnam, Rapper Line and Jinwoo??

This episode started with Winner First performance as an opening stage in BIGBANG Dome Tour in Japan. Even though they're still nervous because this is their first performance as WINNER and also first performance in Japan, but they did a great job and entertained 35,000 audience who came there to see their Sunbaenim, BIGBANG. After their performance ended, they also watch and cheer Bigbang and happily enjoying the concerts just like another VIP. They also went to Bigbang dressing room and show their gratitude for giving this opportunity to them. G-Dragon said that they should have meal before they go, but TOP jokingly said that they have to pay kk (Hurray for Bigbang and Winner Interactions!)

Look at the crowd of VIP cheering for Winner first stage :)

They finally have their dinner after the concerts, they went to a Japanese Restaurant, but the funny thing is they didn't have any idea what the waiter saying at that time. Mino also said that their Japanase were so bad, actually I heard a lot of fans saying that Seungyoon's Japanese is really good, but why is this happen? kkkk

After that they went back to their hotel room and because the next day they have their free time, they're deciding which places they want to go. Seunghoon wanted to go to a the traditional sponge cake store that's been up for 30 years, Mino wanted to go to Kawagoe and because his talkative and advertising skill kk he caught Seunghoon to go there with him kkkkk. What a nice skill Mino-yah! Jinwoo wanted to go to Tokyo Tower which is really near from their hotel and Taehyun wanted to go to Harajuku. Mino advised Taehyun and Seungyoon to go together because he said that maknaes relationship is kinda awkward kk. They also decided to go to Hachiko statue after they have done with their own mission. Let's take a look at their adventures!

Dumb and Dumber Rapper Line - Mino and Seunghoon
Mission :
1. Go to Kawagoe
2. Make the grandmas dancing with them

They almost late to get to their train because Mino stopped over at the washroom, but safely they get the train! I can't get enough to replay Mino's sleepy face and facing the camera, it's so cute kk. They late about 5 minutes to go to Kawagoe and ended up playing in a park with cute kids kk (Winner + Kids = Combo! )

(cute) Mino and Seunghoon with cute little kids

After arriving at Kawagoe, they went to a merchandise shop and also successfully execute their mission to make the grandmas dancing with them. The funny thing about them is their action, they acts like a cute child having their first trip and couldn't even hide their excitement, and yes they really know how to play and having fun really well kk. I couldn't say anything after Seunghoon dance to reenact the music box, and Mino followed him with a broken music box version kk

The Newest International Lost Child, 22 Years Old - Kim Jinwoo

Mission:
1. Go to Tokyo Tower
2. Cast the female lead
3. Reenact the drama scene

The night before his trip, he practice the scene that he wants to reenact, and he keep replaying that kiss scene again and again and even let Mino and Seunghoon to be his partner, I was laughing so hard at this pervy hyung kk. For his short trip he even get advice by Seungyoon and Taehyun ( re : nag) such as don't get hurt and don't lose ur way, and don't eat things from ground kk

The funny thing is he couldn't differentiate Underground Passageway and Subway Station kk, so he ended up back to their hotel for after 30 minutes. After he finally found the subway, he still confused because he didn't know which subway he should ride on kk. After long 3 and half hour finally he found Tokyo Tower, kk. He successfully doing his mission, but because he was late, the members said that he failed kk

Someone please help him! kk

The Unlucky Winner Unit, Kang & Nam - Seungyoon & Taehyun

Mission:
1. Go to Shibuya
2. Perform on the streets and earn  money
3. Buy a couple tee
4. Wear the couple tee and take couple pictures.

They decided to do a Market research first and found the cheapest tee in Fake Tokyo and it costs 4,200 Yen each tee. They also decided to do and purchasing goods for their performance. In this scene, i was fooled by Nam Taehyun! He's not really playing the piano, he's just acting!!Heol -_-

Flawless Maknaes performing in a Shibuya Street

They had sooo many bad omen kk like going off-key while practicing, sandstorm, no one even glance at them and even their coins fall off kk, but luckily fans could recognize them. They also saw G-Dragon big banner and giving him heart sign kk. Their performance is good but they only have 5 audiences and ended up earned 1388 Yen. They went to a Ramen shop and said that they're wondering why members said they're not close to each other. In fact, Seungyoon said that he knows Taehyun the most and their family background is also similar, yes they have a lot in common. Kangnam Shippers keep rising! kk. They also finally execute their mission to buy a couple tee and take couple picture even in a rush kk.

Don't you want a copy of this photobox picture? kk

After all member gathered, they went to a famous Amusement Park and letting Jinwoo to do his punishment in Haunted House, and after that Winner riding their roller coaster, except Nam Taehyun, he  ran away and went to Merry Go Round just like a little diva princess!! Ah finally I found his weakness kkkkkk. While riding that, Seunghoon keep shouting and he said "Oppa" lol! But honestly i think he said 'Omma' because of the sounds is not that clear, PD's misunderstood it as "Oppa" looool kk. For 360-turn Viking, all Winner member got ride on it, yes including our scaredy cat Nam Taehyun. I can clearly see his droopy eyebrow when he's in a scared mode kkkkk

Scared Seunghoon VS Calm Little Diva Taehyun

After that, members went to their dorm and sleep together, Jinwoo said this is their first time to sleep together like that, and members expressing their thought after this first performance, the funny things is when they're still chatting with each other, Taehyun already sleep kk. And Winner TV epsiode 2 ended just like that, I felt this episode is tooooo fast kk. Honestly I'm wondering, why the PD only use HD Cam on Kangnam? Or maybe I didn't see it clearly if Jinwoo and Rapper Line also had HD Cam too?? kk

Once again, let's thanks Jeni from Onewomansubs and Winner Subs Team for their awesome high quality translations, editing and their hard work , please don't ever rush them to subs! As always, feel free to comment and don't forget to watch it in Winner Official Youtube Channel. Ah yes, there's a poll for Winner from 2014 Mwave Star Predictions in Top Rising Male Singer in 2014 category, let's vote kk. Anyway, Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it and Happy Holiday for those who don't celebrate it (like me kk)and for my friend, Trang, Happy Working ^^

WINNER Fashion Finder - Part 8 : Winner TV Episode 1 - Winner is Back! ( WINNER로 돌아왔다! )

Now it's time for WINNER TV FASHION FINDER! Let's see what the boys wear in their first episode!

Let's start with our leader, Kang Seungyoon. I think everyone remember this scene, yes! the scene when he said that he only change his underwear every other day! Seungyoon-ah please kk. At that time I spot him wearing JOYRICH Space Innovation Knit Cardigan Black and it costs 18,690 Yen. Indeed he is Kang Seungyoon, even he wears black, it's not gonna be a plain black kk

Next, we have Hip Hop baby lion Lee Seunghoon, at the very beginning of the program, I spot him wearing Logo Denim Snapback from PAPERCODE, and it costs 39,000 Won. Aside from his love for Blackmamba, I think he also like to wears papercode :) 

Now, it's time for Fake Maknae Kim Jinwoo, I spot him wearing Nep Yarn Fisherman Knit (BK) from PAPERISM and it costs 86,000 Won. I remember that this knitwear is a fan gift for Jinwoo from Korean fanbase, really thank them sooo much becaue it fits him well, seems like he also likes it :)

And, it's time for our talented Maknae Nam Taehyun, I spot him weraing City of Compton T-shirt from PROFASHIONALL and it costs $24.60. I laughed so hard at this scene btw kkkk 

I also spotted him wearing Staple Denim Jacket Heavy Worn from CHEAP MONDAY for his very first airport fashhion , and it costs 138,000 Won. I really love Taehyun wearing this denim jacket, he still looks standout without putting so much efforts.

Back then in Who Is Next Episode 5, when the boys arrived at their first Battle stage, I spot him wearing 2013 S/S "Don't Ask" Washed Denim Jacket from LEATA and it costs 158,000 Won. Seems like our maknae loves denim kk (I found this accidentally because I'm curious about Taehyun's Cheap Monday Jacket kk)

The last member, Song Minho aka MINO /em-ai-en-oh/ I spot him wearing Union Army BLK from BOWLLER and it costs 52,000 Won. I think this one really fits him well, and  he also seems like this brand, because he often wears it. 

Honestly I found more brands, but after watching episode 2, since the boys wear that brand again,  I think I'm just gonna post it in part 9. Once again, this maybe not accurate, because I just search it by myself, so if you wanna correct it, just feel free to comment :) and I think that's enough for part 8, Winner TV Episode 1 - Winner is Back!  I'll be posting for part 9 around next week and also because no one has sub WINNERTV episode 2, I'll review it after it has been subbed kk. Have a nice weekend :)

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 :)
