What's going to happen with Winner now after Nam Taehyun’s departure?

YG Entertainment is supposed to release Winner's full album "EXIT" this year. However, he only released the first part, "EXIT:E" and that made Inner Circles upset. After not coming back for more than a year, fans were really excited for their comeback but it was like they were forgotten after releasing "Baby Baby" and "Sentimental". YG Entertainment has promised fans again and again that they will be releasing the whole album but that never happened.

After Nam Taehyun's departure, there are only 4 members in Winner, Mino, Jinwoo, Seunghoon and Seungyoon. Many fans are worried that YG might disband Winner too (after the mess of 2NE1). I am not really worried about Mino because he can go solo, same with Seungyoon. However, Seunghoon and Jinwoo are such a waste if Winner will disband, but I do not think they will (I hope not).

I feel like YG never really cared about them. First of all, it was so obvious that YG wanted team B to win on "WIN: Who Is Next?" Then, he postponed Winner's debut for over a year. Then after debuting, YG Entertainment did not really promote Winner that much even though the public loves them. Their debut was totally successful but then YG shipped them to Japan and debut his favorite IKON.

He waited for a year before making Winner come back. After the not so warm response for "EXIT:E" (for a YG group), YG did not let Winner release the follow up album of "EXIT". They did give Winner a variety show but obviously, it wasn't enough.

Meanwhile, it was yesterday that YG has announced Nam Taehyun has left the group. This news shocked everyone, fans and non-fans alike. YG has announced earlier last month that Nam Taehyun will be halting his activities because of mental health issues. Now, after the departure news, fans of Winner are now thinking why Nam Taehyun has left.

Moreover, about Nam Taehyun's departure, there are also fans who were asking if Nam Taehyun really did left on his own or was he kicked out by YG. It was reported before that Nam Taehyun posted on his Instagram a message for his fans. His fans felt like it wasn't really sudden as he was showing some signs. Many fans believed that it is because of Winner's status and some of Nam Taehyun's scandals that Taehyun reached this point.

After everything, all I can say is that Winner deserve so much better. Their music was really fresh and new for KPOP plus the whole group is on another level of being talented. They were such a perfect group. I don't think it will be the same after Taehyun's departure.

While we all weep and cry let's watch Winner's performances and MVs.

What Inner Circles feel right now.
