Having pulled through YG Entertainment’s reality-survival program, “WIN: WHO IS NEXT”, the 5-member WINNER will now get what the deserve – a release date.

After almost two months’ worth of teasers and several appearances in their sunbae’s (seniors’) shows, including 2NE1’s #AONMalaysia concert, YG Entertainment’s newest boy group is ready to meet the world officially for the very first time. According to this YG-LIFE blog post, the boys’ debut album will be released online on 12th August at midnight. This digital release will be followed by a physical release on 14th August.

As stated in the image above, there will also be a special launch event for fans on 6th August. The event will be held at Conrad Seoul, the same place the press conference was held one year ago for “WIN: WHO IS NEXT”.

Sadly, we can’t be there. But based on the “2014 S/S GRAND LAUNCH” teasers, we’d imagine it to look like something classy, something like this:

UPDATE:

YG Entertainment has released the track list for WINNER’s debut album. Trust YG to be full of (good) tricks because not only will the album come packed with 10 songs, they just surprised fans with the some unexpected details for one of WINNER’s title track.

Named, “Empty”, the track appears to have been composed by B.I., with lyrics written by both B.I. and Bobby. Yes, of Team B. On top of that, Minho will have his own solo song (for “He’s Strong”), as well as Taehyun (for “I’m Confessing). Yay!
