[OSEN=??? ??] What would it be like to listen to WINNER’s song sung by BIGBANG’s G-DRAGON?

According to YG Entertainment (“YG”)’s insiders on the 26 this month, G-DRAGON’s cover song of WINNER’s “SENTIMENTAL” will be unveiled on the 27. G-DRAGON is the third YG artist to cover for WINNER’s new song “SENTIMENTAL”, following AKMU and Katie Kim.

“SENTIMENTAL” is a sentimental minor pop song, in which WINNER members’ tender voices stand out. The song was directly produced by member NAM TAEHYUN. He expressed the sentimental emotions in witty lyrics.

It is a very rare case for G-DRAGON to fully support a junior YG artist like this. That shows how big affection G-DRAGON has for WINNER. Fans are already paying keen attention to what the G-DRAGON’s cover song for WINNER will be like.

The focus of fans’ interest is the singing G-DRAGON. G-DRAGON has been a rapper, songwriter, and producer as a member of BIGBANG and a solo singer. So, music fans have big curiosity about what kind vocal he will show in his cover song of “SENTIMENTAL”.



WINNER’s comeback has been fully supported by YG’s head producer YANG HYUN SUK. The relay cover project directly planned by YANG himself is a pre-promotion that is being implemented before the official release of the title songs of WINNER’s new album. 

Most of cover songs are usually created by singing existing songs. However, in WINNER’s relay cover promotion, artists create cover songs for WINNER’s new songs even before their official release. That is a kind of world-first format of promotion which has never been tried so far.

WINNER’s mini-album to be released on February 1 has “BABY BABY” and “SENTIMENTAL” as the double title tracks. So far, LEE HI, TAEYANG, Zion.T, and DEAN have presented new versions of “BABY BABY” in their own colors, to captivate music fans in Korea.

Then, AKMU, Katie Kim, and G-DRAGON supported WINNER’s new album by presenting their cover songs for “SENTIMENTAL”. As more artists are to unveil their cover songs for WINNER, fans are now paying keen attention to who will follow G-DRAGON to create the next cover song for WINNER.

WINNER is finally coming back one year and five months after their debut in August, 2014. Their comeback is already creating a big sensation in the music scene.
