G-Dragon Participated in WINNERS Cover Song… "Birth of the 'Best Lineup Ever"

It has been revealed that G-Dragon of BIGBANG will cover the song of junior group WINNER.

On the 24th, a high ranking representative of YG Entertainment shared that G-Dragon will be next in the lineup for WINNER'S cover song. G-Dragon, BIGBANG's leader, fashionista, and issue maker with even the smallest things, participated in covering a different artist's song for the first time since debut. This raises the possibility of a great ripple effect.

This relay cover project was personally planned by representative producer of YG, Yang Hyunsuk and it is a pre-promotion of WINNER's title track that is not yet fully released. Covers by Lee Hayi. Taeyang (of BIGBANG), and artists such as Zion.T. and Dean, who are not in YG, have participated so far.

The highlight of this relay cover is that the best R&B vocalists of the country participated. On top of that, the news that G-Dragon participated in next week's lineup is enough to raise the curiosity of this project.

As much as G-Dragon appeared in shows that recorded WINNER's debut process such as "WIN" and "WINNNERTV", he agreed to participate in this project because he thinks preciously of WINNER members, who are his company juniors and his dongsaengs. Also, in the current music industry where a wide variety of collaborations are taking place, we are able to see the stable and close relationships between singers under YG through their generous support for each other.
Additionally, the four singers who have released their covers are skilled singers with voices that dominate the R&B genre. Many are curious as to how 0-Dragon, a rapper, not a vocalist under YG, will cover the song.

Meanwhile, WINNER'S promotions have never been tried before and so lots of attention is being given to them. The common conception of cover songs is that a junior singer or a rookie vocalist who is good at singing, but not very famous, covers the song of a singer. However, this promotion, which is being personally handled by Director Yang Hyunsuk, is releasing the covers before the full song is released, it can be acceptable to say that he is the first person to think of such an idea in this world.

Meanwhile. WINNER will make a comeback with a mini album on February 1st with double title tracks, "BABY BABY° and "Sentimental", There will be 3 music videos released in total, as one of the music videos will be for Nam Taehyun's solo song, "I'm Young°.
