History

2010–2013: Formation and early activities

Following the success of Big Bang and 2NE1 , YG Entertainment held global auditions to form a new boy band[2]. The final lineup consisted of Kim Jin-woo, who joined in 2010; Nam Tae-hyun, who joined in 2011; and Kang Seung-yoon, Lee Seung-hoon, and Song Min-ho, all of whom joined in 2013.[3][4]

The group's formation was documented in Mnet's WIN: Who Is Next (2013), a survival show that had two teams of trainees compete for the chance to debut under YG Entertainment and perform as the opening act for Big Bang's Japan Dome Tour.[5] Over the course of 100 days, the teams competed in three rounds of performances and public voting.[6] They were evaluated and mentored by YG Family artists, including Taeyang and G-Dragon.[7] The finale was broadcast live from the SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium with approximately 3,000 attendees.[8] It featured the teams' original songs "Go Up" and "Climax", both of which entered the Gaon Digital Chart at 8 and 12, respectively.[9] On October 25, "Team A" was announced as the winner.[10]

At the end of 2013, Winner opened for Big Bang on the Japan Dome Tour.[11] They held their first official event, "Hello! Winner", greeting 300 fans within an audience of 8,000 in Osaka.[12] Winner later appeared as guest performers for 2NE1's All or Nothing World Tour in Seoul on March 1–2, 2014,[13] They later joined additional 2NE1 tour stops in Asia and performed at the YG Family Power World Tour in Osaka on April 12, 2014.[14]

Eight months after the competition's end, Winner was reintroduced to the public between June and August 2014, holding a launch showcase at the Conrad Seoul Hotel on August 6th to introduce their new concept[15][16]. The group won the Red Dot Design Award for "Brand Concept" in 2015.[17]

On August 17, 2014, Winner officially debuted with the singles "Empty" and "Color Ring" and had their first televised appearance.[18] On August 22, they won the popular vote on the music television program M Countdown.[19] 2014 S/S debuted atop the Gaon Album Chart and the Billboard World Albums Chart.[20] On September 10, they released a Japanese version of 2014 S/S, which peaked at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart[21] and went on their first Japan tour.[22] They received a "Bonsang", or Top 10 Artist award, at the 2014 Melon Music Awards,[23] as well as winning "Rookie Artist of the Year" at the 29th Golden Disc Awards and "New Artist of the Year - Male Group" 4th Gaon Chart Music Awards.[24] The band was also listed as one of the thirteen top breakout artists of 2014 by Fuse.[25]

After primarily focusing on in fan meetings in 2015[26][27], the group was scheduled to release five 'project releases' in 2016. On January 11, Winner released their song "Pricked", a duet between members Mino and Nam. On February 1,[28] Winner released their EP Exit: E, which placed number two on the Gaon Album Chart and at number two on Billboard's World Albums Chart.[29] Its lead single was the most-played song across eight South Korean music streaming platforms. [30] The song "Baby Baby" became the most-streamed Korean song on QQ Music, a Chinese music streaming platform, in the first half of the same year.[31] Winner held their first-ever concert tour in Korea, beginning their tour on March 12 and 13 with a performance at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.[32] On June 2016, the group brought their Exit Tour to Japan.[33]

The group starred in a variety show called Half-Moon Friends (2016), which aired on JTBC. The show garnered viewership both locally and internationally. In China, clips from the program reportedly accumulated more than 75 million views on the video sharing platform Miaopai and exceeded 100 million views across other online platforms.[34] Their success in the country earned them the Overseas Popularity Award at the MTV Asia Music Gala.[35]

In October 2016, Nam took a break from the group due to mental health concerns, and the remaining installments of the "Exit Movement" series were delayed indefinitely.[36] On November 25, he officially departed from the band, leading to the project's cancellation.[37]

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group's scheduled stop in Singapore was cancelled, followed by the cancellation of their Seoul encore concert.[52][53] In response to this, Winner held a free online concert, "Winner Cross Special Live" on Naver V Live on February 14, 2020.[54]

2020–present: Military enlistment and releases

For Winner's third full-length album, Remember, a pre-release digital single entitled "Hold" (뜸) was released on March 26, 2020. It charted number one on several music streaming platforms, including Naver, Bugs, and Soribada.[55] Its accompanying music video stars (now former) labelmate Lee Su-hyun of AKMU.[55] Released on April 9, Remember contained eight tracks, including a lead single of the same name, the pre-release single "Hold" (뜸), and four re-recorded singles from their debut album, 2014 S/S. The album earned the group their highest first-week sales since their debut.[56]

In August 2021, following the end of Winner's seven-year contract with YG Entertainment, the members renewed their contracts for five more years.[57] On February 18, 2022, YG Entertainment announced the band's first concert in two years, which was held at the KSPO Dome in Seoul on April 30 and May 1.[58] Winner returned on July 5, 2022, with their fourth EP Holiday and its lead single "I Love U".[59] On December 11, 2022, YG Entertainment announced that Winner would hold an online concert "Winner Live Stage [White Holiday]" on December 29, 2022.[60]

On April 2, 2020, Kim Jin-woo enlisted for Korean mandatory military service. As a result, the group's activities were paused indefinitely.[61] Two weeks later, Lee Seung-hoon became the second member to enlist on April 16, 2020.[62] Kim and Lee were discharged from their duties on December 31, 2021, and January 15, 2022, respectively.[63] On March 2, 2023, YG Entertainment announced that Mino would enlist on March 24, 2023, and serve as a social worker.[64] On May 24, 2023, YG Entertainment further announced that Kang Seung-yoon would enlist on June 20, 2023, as an active duty soldier.[65] Both Mino and Seung-yoon were discharged in December 2024.[66]

Allegations surfaced claiming Mino frequently left his post without notice and took excessive sick leave. The MMA subsequently requested a police investigation into the claims. Mino admitted to several of the allegations, and it was announced in April 2025 that he may have to re-enlist.[67] On December 31, 2025, it was announced that Mino had been indicted on charges of violating Korea's Military Service Act.[68]

Artistry

Musicality and self-production

Winner's discography spans multiple genres. Their debut album 2014 S/S, highlighted several genres, including hip hop, ballad, reggae, dance, and R&B.[69]

Their self-written material focuses on themes of love, hope, everyday life stories, and consolation.[71] Kang Seung-yoon, who oversees the group's overall production,[72] is often cited as their producer.[73] In an interview with Vice, Kang said, "We incorporate our honest feelings and thoughts—the depth of it [is different] if someone else makes your song for you, versus being involved yourself as a writer [...] we've been putting ourselves into it."[74] Their 2019 comeback "Ah Yeah" was inspired by the film Very Ordinary Couple (2013).[75]

Member Lee Seung-hoon choreographed their lead debut singles, "Empty" and "Color Ring" (2014), as well as "Fool" (2017).[76]

Image and artistic stylings

Winner has described their artistic style as more emotional and muted as compared to the extravagant aesthetics of other idol groups,[76] although their music has since transitioned to a hybrid of trap and pop-esque beats commonly used in K-pop.
