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."
