WINNER's Kim Jin Woo revealed that he did not open up to his group members about the loss of his grandmother.

On the March 25 KST broadcast of Channel A's 'Oh Eun Young's Golden Counseling', WINNER made a guest appearance. On this day, the WINNER members stated, "It's been two years since we've gathered as a completed group." Here, Lee Seung Hoon said, "There are things that we talk about with each other openly, but there are also things that we don't talk about. It's to avoid fighting with each other, but also to stay within our boundaries to some extent. But I'm not sure if it's right for us to maintain this boundary." To this, Kim Jin Woo stated, "Teams can break up or last a long time. I think the reason why we don't share our inner thoughts with each other is so that we don't make a cause for arguments."

Kim Jin Woo then opened up about himself. He stated, "I had thought that I had a strong mentality, but something bad happened to me recently. I don't think I've been able to hold myself up." Kim Jin Woo then revealed for the first time, "My grandmother passed away recently. I told myself 'I have to get back up and work hard', but this doesn't seem to work. But I don't think this is a question that I can get advice for." 

The WINNER members, who heard this for the very first time, couldn't help but feel a bit upset and confused as to why Kim Jin Woo had not told them such an important thing. When they asked why he had not told them, Kim Jin Woo replied, "It didn't cross my mind at all to tell anyone. But now that I think about it, I wonder why I didn't just tell them." Hearing this, Dr. Oh Eun Young diagnosed him with avoidant insecure attachment and stated, "It's also called the avoidant type, but people who have this type tend to be very positive toward themselves. However, they are not so positive about opening up to others."
