When Yoo Hee Yeol asked them, "What did you think when you first heard the name 'WINNER'?" the members replied, "Honestly, we thought it was really corny at first. It's the name Yang Hyun Suk created for us." Mino explained, "'WINNER' is a good name but compared to Big Bang, the pronunciation falls a bit short because there is less impact."�

The boys also discussed why it took so long for them to make a comeback. Kang Seung Yoon said, "When we received so much unexpected love after our debut, we felt pressured. Because we worked hard to make better music than our first album, it took longer [to make our comeback]."
WINNER then mentioned Yang Hyun Suk's attitude toward them, which has changed over time. They relayed, "When were were preparing our first album, he would draw tears with his harsh criticism whenever he heard a song he didn't like, but now, he's a bit more understanding."�
When a curious Yoo Hee Yeol inquired Nam Tae Hyun what the most memorable criticism he heard from Yang Hyun Suk was, he responded, "I can't say that on broadcast."�
