Hello, here is YG Entertainment.
First of all, we would sincerely like to thank all fans who supported Winner with unshakable love and patience over the years.
YG Entertainment plans to perform a Winner show in July 2025, marking the group’s first show in approximately three years and three months. As this will be the first time in three years that Winner will meet with their fans, and as it is a show to celebrate their return, we reserve the place in advance and we are preparing exhaustively to offer high quality performances.
However, it is true that we had a lot of concerns about continuing this show. However, in mind the fans who waited so much for Winner’s return, and reflecting the strong desire of members to rediscover their fans, we decided to proceed with the show as planned.
This show will be attended by three members – Kang Seng Yoon, Kim Jin Woo and Lee Seng Hoon – on stage together. Since it was not an easy decision, we kindly asked for your support and encouragement. More details about the show will be released on a separate warning, a later date. Thanks.
