WINNER members appear in the making film of “LOVE ME LOVE ME” with cool and refreshing visual. They show off their carefree and innocent appeals.

The members also boast remarkable chemistry between them, showing a perfect harmony in vacation scenes. They are also catching the eyes by showing “heart throwing dance”, which is the point dance of “LOVE ME LOVE ME”, during rest time.

KANG SEUNGYOON expressed his special affection for the new song by saying, “I wanted to sing a sophisticated and cool song with ‘LOVE ME LOVE ME’.” Then, SONG MINHO said, “I drank a cup of coffee and played golf at a scenic mountain, during the shooting for the music video. Those are things that I cannot do in my everyday life. I hope people will enjoy the video”.

In the making film of “ISLAND”, WINNER members engage in dynamic activities including bicycle riding and swimming.

WINNER hinted on how to fully enjoy their new album, saying, “There are many people who have no idea about where to go for summer vacation and who want to go on vacation but cannot. I think ‘ISLAND’ can give condolences to those people by making them feeling like they are in Hawaii. I hope many people will have a refreshing feeling as if they are in a tropical island, while listening to this song”.

WINNER is enjoying great popularity since their comeback with new songs “LOVE ME LOVE ME” and “ISLAND” on August 4, sweeping music charts both in and out of the country. WINNER will continue to actively present themselves to the public by appearing in TV music shows, radio shows, and variety TV shows.

On August 5, Billboard published an article about WINNER’s new songs and said, “’Love Me Love Me’ features a midtempo rhythmic beat and disco vibe, creating an immensely danceable, yet mellow, track.”

The magazine also wrote positive comments about the path that WINNER took after they turned into a four-member group in November last year. It said, “Though lineup changes often spell disaster for K-pop groups, the now-quartet has turned things around to revel and show a distinct musical style between the four songs, offering up a softer style than is typical under their label, YG Entertainment, which also houses BIGBANG and Blackpink.” 

Billboard also wrote that the music videos of “LOVE ME LOVE ME” and “ISLAND”, which were shot in Hawaii, “showcase the beauty of nature via vibrant shots of the island’s scenery.”

WINNER released a new EP titled “OUR TWENTY FOR” on August 4, and the title songs of the EP “LOVE ME LOVE ME” and “ISLAND” is sweeping the charts. The group will put on its comeback stage on MBC’s Show! Music Core on August 5.

[#W_NEWS] 170804 BILLBOARD: K-Pop Boy Band WINNER Drops ‘Island’ & ‘Love Me Love Me’

K-Pop Boy Band WINNER Drops ‘Island’ & ‘Love Me Love Me’

After seeing major success in April when they returned after a long hiatus and a member revamp, Korean boy band WINNER returned Friday (Aug. 4) with two new singles: the seasonally apropos “Love Me Love Me” and “Island.”

The breezy dancehall sound of “Island” follows in the addictive footsteps of April’s “Really Really,” which brought the group to their peak on the World Digital Song Sales chart. Meanwhile, “Love Me Love Me” features a midtempo rhythmic beat and disco vibe, creating an immensely danceable, yet mellow, track.

Members Kang Seung Yoon (Yoon), Song Mino and Lee Seung Hoon (Hoony) worked with Future Bounce and Bekuh Boom to write the two tracks.

The pair of summer dance songs were featured on a single EP titled Our Twenty Four, and accompanied by music videos that WINNER filmed in Hawaii. “Love Me Love Me” features the four enjoying the island state’s offerings while forlornly singing their request to be loved and features graphics and filters to emphasize the song’s subtle playfulness. “Island” similarly shows WINNER exploring Hawaii, but moves things away from the resorts to showcase the beauty of nature via vibrant shots of the island’s scenery.

After an extended hiatus of over a year — an eternity in the K-pop industry — and losing lead vocalist Nam Tae Hyun earlier this year, WINNER has quickly picked up momentum as one of Korea’s most promising boy bands between the four singles they released on Our Twenty Four and April’s Fate Number Four, which featured “Really Really” and the ballad “Fool.” Though lineup changes often spell disaster for K-pop groups, the now-quartet has turned things around to revel and show a distinct musical style between the four songs, offering up a softer style than is typical under their label, YG Entertainment, which also houses BIGBANG and Blackpink.
