WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon opened up on his inspiration as a performer and his aspirations for the future in a recent conversation and photo session with ELLE magazine.
The singer-songwriter initially decided to enter the public eye decade ago on the "Superstar K2" MNET audition program. He has also shown steady development as an artist in the ten years since, carrying on a variety of content, ranges, and overcoming new challenges every inch of the process.
When questioned about his growth as a musician, Kang Seung Yoon disclosed that a piece of his encouragement to work incredibly hard and to keep striving continuously to improve himself largely stems from an opportunity to prove the public what he was capable of.
Since people had a clear understanding of Kang Seung Yoon as a kid who played guitar and played rock music as an unpolished kid, he shared, "They seemed to have the same false perception that that was all I can be. I try to show the people that they were mistaken."
As for what he wants to do in the next ten years, the leader of WINNER said, "I would like to begin the second chapter of WINNER's tale on a positive note of results."
He went on to say, "If we concentrated on demonstrating the cohesiveness between the four of us during our first chapter, in the coming years, I would really like us to showcase each of our distinctive colors and individual brands. I'd like to become even more optimistic and ambitious in the next ten years, not just for WINNER as a band but for me too, Kang Seung Yoon."
