Song Mino of boy group WINNER touched on his newest single, his love for sunflowers, and more!
On Nov. 9, the male idol appeared on the radio show 'Kim Young Chul's Power FM'. During the talk, Mino was asked about his inspiration for his latest track 'Run Away.' He stated that he went to Bali with his fellow WINNER members and they lodged at various resorts. "I came up with this song while I was star-gazing in the resort's poo," he said.
The radio host, Kim Young Chul, also asked him if he checks the ranking of his latest track 'Run Away' on the music chart. Song answered, "No, but I can see the reactions, and everyone seems to like my music, so I'm really thankful for that. I hope people enjoy listening to it."
Kim shared that Super Junior's Kyuhyun, who previously guested on the said radio show, consistently look over the music charts to see the standing of Mino's newest track.
WINNER Mino then revealed that he loves sunflowers, which can be seen in the music video for 'Run Away.' He stated that he began to like the said flower last year. "At first, I liked them because of the color yellow, but I heard sunflowers represent different stuff, including wealth. Then, I started to like them even more because they are common," he shared.
Moreover, during the broadcast, Song Mino unveiled the different titles he thought for his new album. He said, "This is my first time revealing it, but some of the titles that I had in mind were 'LAD,' 'BOY,' and 'SOME.'" But after brainstorming, he ended up labeling his second solo album 'Take.'
Apart from his latest release, WINNER Mino also talked about his funny image in the South Korean travel-reality show called 'New Journey to The West,' in which he participates alongside Super Junior's Kyuhyun and other celebrities.
With regard to the four-character quiz wherein he continuously gets wrong, he commented, "I'm actually good at it, but I'm too nervous on the show, so I keep missing it." The radio host then said that he heard Song Mino is a genius but he behaves clumsily to be funny. Song agreed with him and shared that instead of making efforts to look funny, he just say funny things because he is a genius.
WINNER Mino launched his second solo album 'Take' on October 30, which marks his first release after almost two years since his album 'XX' in November 2018.
His latest album is composed of a total of 12 tracks that have lyrics written by the singer himself, alongside other lyricists including Zion.T and iKON's Bobby who are also featured in Mino's singles. The idol also took part in the composing and arranging process of the songs.
The music video of the album's lead single 'Run Away' was also revealed on October 30 via WINNER's official YouTube channel. Fellow WINNER member Kang Seung Yoon made his cameo appearance on the MV. And as of Nov. 9, the video is about to reach 4 million views.
