Kim Jin Woo shared, "Even after winning the final round, it still hasn't hit me yet. I will work hard, so that I don't mar the title of WINNER and make it shine bright."

Nam Tae Hyun shared, "We haven't made our debut yet. Until the day of our debut, we won't relax and bring out our individual abilities to become a group with a strong foundation in the basics. In our eyes and our CEO's (Yang Hyun Suk)�eyes, we are lacking in a lot of areas. We will work even harder until the day of our debut."

Kang Seung Yoon shared, "This is my first time ever winning #1 in my life. There were a lot of labels that followed me before, including 'Superstar K's Kang Seung Yoon, 'High Kick's Kang Seung Yoon, and 'Instinctively's Kang Seung Yoon, but now I confidently earned the title of WINNER, which I am satisfied and proud about."

Mino shared, "Because I cried and was scatterbrained on the final stage, I forgot to say thank you to the fans. We were able to become WINNER because of the fans' support and votes. I didn't want to leave without saying thank you."

When asked about being labeled as the '2nd Big Bang',�Lee Seung Hoon shared, "Our Big Bang sunbaenims are one of the icons that have surpassed the top level in the K-pop scene. Like our sunbaenims, I hope we surpass from just being artists to a team that leads the culture of Korea and Asia. We won't stain our sunbaenim's honor and would like to rise as artists who can perform worldwide."

WINNER will open for Big Bang's Japanese dome tour next month, and they plan to make their debut in December or January of next year.
