As you know, YG Entertainment is pretty notorious for delays and not living up promised time periods of comebacks or debuts. With fans growing impatient, the agency's main head figure, Yang Hyun Suk, was contacted for an answer on what is taking so long.
In his interview with OSEN, Yang Hyun Suk talked about upcoming group iKON and rookie group WINNER.
He said, "When will WINNER make their comeback and when will iKON debut? That's not for me to decide. We will reveal their songs the moment they make songs that anyone would like and be happy to hear. So far there haven't been any songs that satisfy me nor themselves."
He referenced Big Bang as he said, "Think about when Big Bang was first born. Not too long ago, G-Dragon talked about his trainee days on a variety show, about how he wrote songs for me as if he was turning in homework every day. If a singer wants to be in front of the public and sing songs, they need enough preparation before they debut. The lifespan of a singing career cannot help but be short if you half-heartedly keep releasing songs. That's why even now, it takes Big Bang so much labor pain every time they try to release a new album."
Yang Hyun Suk added, "WINNER and iKON are both working really hard right now. During the past few months, they have given me over 50 songs. I returned all of them back to them. They're still lacking that 2%. They know that too. By overcoming this process, they become bigger and grow. They're very sorry to their waiting fans but I can confidently say that the announcement is not too far away. When WINNER make their comeback and iKON make their debut, the outcome will be worth the wait."
It seems we may have to be a little more patient for WINNER's comeback and iKON's debut, but like Papa YG says, we know it'll all be worth the wait!
