WINNER's Lee Seung Hoon shared honest thoughts about winning #1 on music shows.

On the May 9 airing of 'Jung Yoo Mi's FM Date', Lee Seung Hoon and Kim Jin Woo kept their promise to return on the show after winning #1 and joined as the guests.

Jung Yoo Mi congratulated them for their success with ''Really Really''. In response, Lee Seung Hoon stated, "It felt new and strange. We won #1 several times before but I felt very emotional."

He revealed, "Honestly, during our 1st album promotions, I automatically assumed that it's natural for us to win #1 since we're from a big agency YG. I was calmer back then (after winning #1)."

Kim Jin Woo and Lee Seung Hoon shared that taking #1 holds more meaning now and explained, ''Our win this time was more meaningful since we went through a tough time. It's kind of weird to say this ourselves but we have become very humble. Winning #1 was not something that you could take for granted. The past days ran through our minds and it was a very touchy moment with the members.''

Winner and Ikon and BP only got popular because they are from YG

Boofrickinhoo they are good at what they do. u have THAT mentality of a person who blames the world for their misfortune rather than get off ur ass and do something about it. Other non big3s are working JUST as hard and they compete against big3 now so anything is possible, champ. 🙃

The fact that they got into YG is already such an achievement. Only a few people can really get into YG. When YG was looking for trainees in Thailand, he only liked Lisa. Out of thousands auditioning in Australia, he only liked Rosé. It takes so much talent and "it" factor to get into YG, That itself is an acheivement. They've trained for years and are very talented artists, they deserve all the success their getting. Maybe your biases should leave their companies and try getting into YG to gain some popularity

hhh dara was in YG for her talent too lmao. What a joke

Dara was an extremely popular star in the philippines with years of experience in acting, performing and variety shows. She oozes with charm and works hard to compensate in other areas for her lack of singing and dancing ability.

years of experience? hhh how come she sucks?

If she sucks to you then that's your opinion.

So the dungeon WAS useful!

I love the honesty. I like is group more and more

ellagkpopunnie • Tuesday, May 9, 2017

I feel like they're more grateful for their wins now bec they were probably not expecting so much success to come out of this comeback especially after a year long hiatus. Maybe they thought they've lost some fans and wont be receiving much support like when they debuted. But i'm here for you Winner! 💙

It's only when the 1 of the big 3's don't win #1 that's concerning. I too agree

the idols and everyone working on the music process with them have a v high standard and expectation to reach, both of themselves, the company , fans and public

Can i say that i like them better now not because taehyun was bad but they seem more happy now honest playful and happier .. yg really did his best to keep winner live .. (well its me) ...

kpoplolita mynameis21 • Wednesday, May 10, 2017

The vibe is more on 1 page now. I know he had issues its not all his fault but as 4, the chemistry flows smoother

I'm sure everyone in YG (and all of the Big 3)knows that they have the spotlight on them because they're a big company. But I feel like that puts even more pressure on them. I'm sure that's why they always want to put out good content.

kpoplolita violetstorm • Wednesday, May 10, 2017

Exactly the pressure is always "oh u did good only bcz u r from big3😑" or "well that was a shit comeback u have lower scores than ur debut #flop AND u are from big3😑"

violetstorm kpoplolita • Thursday, May 18, 2017

I know! I HATE it when people say that a group is a "flop" because they didn't do as good as their best-selling release like???? You don't have to do better than a previous release for something to be considered a success.

And people say the "big 3" privilege doesn't exist

cyrstel Den229 • Wednesday, May 10, 2017

It does, the "Big 3" own shares of many company which gives them boost in endorsements which gives them more edge than those who came from small companies. It's a privilege, but the way things are turning this time around it's not a "sure guarantee" like before. I think, many more are actually basing their preference now on the content unlike before.THIS IS NOT A HATE COMMENT.

Pre_Historic_Fan Den229 • Wednesday, May 10, 2017

the "Big 3" is a double edge sword, This can be a positive side since they came from the big 3 they have the funds, marketing and fans so they have an edge already but remember compared to other idol they have more weight in their shoulder since they came from the Big 3 they are expected to be at the top no matter what happen. if they fail to be at the top imagine the hate that they will receive.
