[ARITCLE/INTERVIEW] 2NE1 "Bought Kalbi for WINNER. Attention on younger male hoobaes."

2NE1 revealed their affection for their company's junior, WINNER. 

2NE1 (CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park, Gong Minji) mentioned YG's new rookie group, WINNER (Kang Seungyoon, Song Minho, Nam Taehyun, Kim Jinwoo, Lee Seunghoon) during an interview on November 25th at a restaurant in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

WINNER took the final victory last October 25th at the Olympic Stadium located in Songpa-gu, Seoul where they participated in the final battle of WIN: WHO IS NEXT with Team B.  With this, WINNER has been chosen as the new YG boy group, 8 years after BIG BANG.

CL who recently watched over her juniors revealed, "I think the results came out as I expected.  I'm really happy to have juniors in our company.  That's why I gathered the juniors and bought them dinner not too long ago.  The menu was Kalbi."  She began, "At first I thought 'what would be different if we had new juniors'.  But now, I'm actually very happy to have them with us.  In the beginning, when Lee Hi became my junior, I really wanted to help her as much as I could when we were on stage together." 

About this CL continued, "Dara-unnie is also especially happy to have younger male juniors."  Sandara Parkreplied, "Since we're family members, even so, they really caught my attention.  Those kids' eyes are always sparkling, you know."  Dara expressed her thoughts, "It's really cute when they have the attitude, '2NE1 seniors, please teach us well.'  I'm going to watch over them in the future and I'm looking forward to taking care of them as well.  When we first debuted, our seniors took great care of us too."

Park Bom added, "They're really great and follow their seniors very well.  All the noonas love it. (Laughs)" CLcontinued, "Another great thing is that they're in the same age group as 2NE1's maknae, Gong Minji."  She adds, "Since Minzy started her idol activities at a very young age, she wasn't able to meet a lot of friends even though she wanted to because of how busy we were.  I think this is a great chance for her to meet and get closer as friends to juniors who are the same age as her.  I hope they become closer in the future."

CL said, "We encouraged them right away and went up on the stage with them when the results that Team A won during WIN's final battle was revealed.  I personally told Team B, 'Rather think of this as a great opportunity for you to do well.'"  She continued, "Because you can still prepare and show a stronger stage in front of the fans and that this isn't the end of your path.  You will be able to debut someday and in any case, it's advantageous for you to be able to use this time and practice more.  I said these words to my juniors."

She also revealed the advice she gave to WINNER. CL explained, "To my juniors who have done well, gather up your feelings and prepare to run.  Honestly, it's more important to show them actions instead of words.  The best example is for them to put all their sincerity into their music and show us a great stage."

Park Bom revealed about WIN's results, "The team that my heart was going towards and the team I thought was going to win was different.  My heart was going towards Team A but in my head, I thought the winning team would be Team B.  I felt that they did a bit better. However, I'm really happy that Team A was chosen as the WINNER, too."

Meanwhile, 2NE1 has revealed their song "Missing you" and has been #1 on many charts.

[ARTICLE] WINNER share their sorry heart towards Team B and BTS stories during their first radio appearance

WINNER, who just returned from opening up for Big Bang's dome tour in Japan, shared some behind-the-scenes stories during their first radio appearance on 'Yoo In Na's Volume Up'.

On the November 21st broadcast, DJ Yoo In Na mentioned, "It's a survival program," to which the members let out a sigh and laughed. She continued, "I feel like just hearing the word 'survival' would put you on the edge. I like how Jin Woo is smiling. Didn't you go through a lot?"

WINNER shared, "It was very difficult." They then opened up about their competition with Team B, sharing, "That was the most difficult... They are still doing well. We practiced with them just before we came here... To be honest, we still feel sorry. We purposefully try not to express our feelings, and they also purposefully try not to express their own and we have a good relationship."


When asked, "What did you guys say to each other after the final stage?", the members revealed, "Let's hurry up and go to sleep. We were able to sleep comfortably... I've never slept so well in my life. It's been a really long time."

Yoo In Na, who was an MC for the 'WIN' finale, recalled, "Seung Hoon took the tissue out of Jin Woo's nose. The tissue fell on the floor and it was covered in blood." Jin Woo explained, "Immediately after hearing the results, my nose started bleeding. I think it's because my nervousness was relieved."


The DJ also commented, "Tae Hyun is the maknae, but he seems more like a hyung with his calm and composed personality." Nam Tae Hyun commented, "My mind just went blank at the time, and Mino and Seung Hoon hyung cried the most. They are the rapper line, but they cried the most. I wouldn't say anything if they cried prettily, but they were sobbing so much. I told them to not cry so much like babies and maintain their composure."

Kang Seung Yoon said, "Whenever we hear Yang Hyun Suk's biting remarks and advice, our stress goes away." The members added, "Because he has interest in us... His indifference is the scariest." The leader continued, "If the CEO doesn't say anything and acts like we don't exist, we receive more pressure from that."
