Fans may have had to wait for over a year for WINNER's comeback, but it looks like the wait is going to be more than worth it.
Earlier this week, WINNER released the first teaser for what they are calling their 2016 "Exit Movement" project. More details have been revealed about their new album/project, including that the group contributed largely to the writing and composition of each song.
Back in November when their new album was first teased, WINNER's Nam Tae Hyun had been credited for two songs that would appear on the upcoming release. Now it seems, according to YG-Life, that the entire album will consist of songs written by the group members.
As for what sort of concept fans can expect from WINNER's "Exit Movement" project, it appears to be dark and rebellious. The teaser features the boys partying, drinking, and even a somewhat explicit kissing scene involving Song Minho.
WINNER is expected to release new music on Jan. 11, as promised by a teaser photo released last month. Their comeback is highly anticipated given the long wait since their debut, especially in comparison to other rookie groups.
Though many fans were disappointed with the delay of their comeback, YG Entertainment President Yang Hyun Suk promised that he would promote the group to the point that fans would accuse him of preferring them above all other YG Entertainment groups.
"When WINNER makes a comeback there will be talk that I favor WINNER. Just wait until WINNER's new album comes out. I would like to say that when WINNER comes back, I will promote them to the point that people will say I favor WINNER," said Yang (via Soompi).
