WINNER opens up about rivalry with iKON

WINNER met with the media for an interview sesh on February 1 over their recent mini-album \'EXIT:E.\'

Of course, as they debuted within a relatively short amount of time before iKON, the topic of the other

YG group came up.  Regarding this, the group said, "Among ourselves, we are extremely friendly, but people view us as rivals.  Among ourselves, we think of it more as a friendly competition."

Regarding iKON having their own exclusive concert before senior group WINNER, the group stated, "Honestly, when we heard that, we thought we would get a stomachache. However, we ended up seeing iKON\'s exclusive concert stage through a video, and they were so cool that we had nothing to say.

"Because of our schedule, we were unable to personally go to their concert.  We really wanted to go.  In the end, it feels like both iKON and WINNER are in a win-win situation. We, of course, have our own exclusive concert planned."

Regarding their Japan tour last year, they said, "While meeting a lot of Japanese fans, the assessment on us improved.  It was a good opportunity for us to give a shot at getting a good experience.  We will probably have a lot of different new tours soon.  I think this time, we will be able to fly.  We\'ve become confident."

Fight me allkpop they love each other so much I learned from WIN 

"Regarding iKON having their own exclusive concert before senior group WINNER" 

 I didn\'t know that... I am sad for them, they debuted first and maybe felt left behind. They need more amazings songs and have a big concert, they deserve it

@heartlesscity and I mean with these new singles not with empty that b.i and Bobby wrote. I was hoping to come up in here without comments like this but people love to compare them meanwhile they just loving each other

We will probably have a lot of different new tours soon.  I think this time, we will be able to fly. 

My boys grown up :D i really enjoyed their album ^^ and their attitude of doing good music

Promote well my bae, then have your concert in Korea soon 

I am making $87/hour working from home. I never thought that it was legitimate but my best friend is earning $10 thousand a month by working online, that was really surprings for me, she recommended me to try it. You will lose nothing, just try it out on the following website.

They are label mate, the couldn\'t have said anything bad about the other. Though I don\'t think they have anything bad to say about the other. In the end, it was the management that screwed up.

Join the WINKON movement fam, it\'s much more peaceful! <3

well said they guys done for beaning competing one another this time they are win win and label mate 

tbh this group is less problematic than ikon but both of their fans are same annoying af

thanks to post again, so this article has more comment

Both have their own charms. Personally i was on team B since the beginning when i didn\'t know any of the members of both teams; but team B showed me the potentials and i like their style. now i\'m a proud iKONic, that doesn\'t mean i don\'t listen to WINNER, when the music is good, it\'s good. just enjoy, no need to compare or hate. we\'re not five.

Winkon, both fandoms should stop fighting these guys trained together and are friends as well, even winner said that they wished to succeed not only for them but for team b and they\'ve been constantly showing mutual support. It\'s heartwarming to see

I would like a Winner and iKON collaboration. Really liked the pairing of Seung Yoon\'s voice with Jinhwan\'s (during Mix and Match finale). Plus that rapper line with Mino, Seung Hoon, B.I, and Bobby, dope.
