Winner has a fruitful 2018, but wishing for more meaningful 2019. As they recently mark their official comeback, they are hoping to release a third full album next year, while some of its members are about to debut solo.
On the recent episode of "Idol," Seungyoon revealed Jinwoo is now preparing for his solo debut. Some of his new songs are also getting finalized. "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to spoil this, but he's preparing a solo debut," the Winner leader said, per Koreaboo.
Aside from Jinwoo, Seungyoon also unveiled that Seunghoon will also have a solo debut soon. As it seems to be that every Winner member is going solo, the 24-year-old singer said that the success of Mino's new album, "XX," paves the way to their solo debuts.
"Follow me," Mino joked. The 25-year-old rapper's "Fiancé" conquered music charts and shows, so the rest of the Winner members congratulated him for making a way to release their solo albums.
So when Seungyoon joked that he should feature Mino on his album, the latter said that he should make a formal request. "You're going to use me? You gotta ask first," he teased. From the looks of it, the Inner Circle has a lot of projects to wait from Winner in the coming year.
Talking about 2019, Winner is looking forward to a more fruitful year to come. This year marks the group's official return with the release of their new album, "Everyd4y," and concert tours in Asia.
But busy their schedule is, Winner still managed to drop their latest single, "Millions," recently. Seunghoon explained, via K-Pop Herald, that they are trying to fill the gap between their long hiatus and fans' desire to see a new offering from them.
They also have a treat for the American fans as Winner is about to kick off their North American tour on January 15, 2019, in Seattle. They will also visit San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. As a preparation for the upcoming tour, they said they are now learning to speak English.
Although Mino, Jinwoo, Seungyoon, and Seunghoon may soon have their solo projects, they will still not leave Winner. They said that their main goal is to release a third full-length album as a group. They also want to have more opportunities to showcase their talents.
Mino said that they are all ambitious, and have a lot of things they want to do in their minds. So, Winner is hoping to have a very meaningful 2019. Seungyoon, on the other hand, wished that all of his co-members will achieve all of their goals, and expand their musicality through their solo projects. He also hopes Jinwoo will have an acting career.
