Netizens who spotted WINNER at Incheon airport on October 10th spread the word online, quickly catching the attention of Inner Circle. According to witness accounts, the 4 WINNER members were dressed in matching, jailer outfits, and were reportedly kidnapped without any of their belongings. Fans even discovered that poor Kim Jin Woo, who had been preparing to be kidnapped ever since the end of 'New Journey to the West 4' by carrying around a 'snack bag' full of goodies where ever he went, was unable to bring his 'snack bag' on this day.

In response to the rumors, tvN confirmed to news outlets, "WINNER left Korea today and will return once they wrap up their filming. But we will not reveal their destination. We have decided to keep the destination a secret for safety reasons. They will be returning in mid- October, after which the footage will be edited. It will air some time at the end of the year." 

Hope WINNER have a great time!
