‘WIN’ GD Team vs Taeyang Team, Big Bang and 2NE1 as judges

All the members of Korea’s top boy band Big Bang (G-Dragon, Taeyang, Top, Dae Sung, Seungri) and girl band 2NE1 (CL, Dara, Bom, Minzy) are appearing in Mnet’s “WHO IS NEXT: WIN” show, a survival program that portrays the process of the birth of YG Entertainment’s new idol band.

Beginning from the first episode aired in the afternoon on August 23, “WIN” has been airing at 10 pm every Friday. At the end of episode 4 airing on the 13th, the preview of episode 5 will be shown and all the members of Big Bang and 2NE1 will make an appearance.

According to TV insiders, Big Bang member G-Dragon and Taeyang, who are close friends from childhood, took one of WIN's Team A (Kang Seung Yoon, Lee Seung Hoon, Song Min Ho, Kim Jin Woo, and Nam Tae Hyun) and Team B (B.I, Bobby, Kim Jin Hwan, Kim Dong Hyuk, Koo Jun Hwe, and Song Yoon Hyung), to play the role of each team's coach and advisor.

One insider said, “I cannot say which team will be coached by G-Dragon and Taeyang, but both of them had great passion in advising the junior artists by telling them about their own experiences as an artist and teaching them about singing, rap, and dance required for a singer.”

The insider added, “Even though this episode is about a match between G-Dragon’s team and Taeyang’s team, when it is seen from a bigger picture, both of them support both Team A and B. Team A and B, taught by G-Dragon and Taeyang, were judged by Big Bang’s T.O.P, Daesung, Seungri, and 2NE1’s CL, Dara, Bom, and Minzy. All members gave affectionate advice to the new artists in both teams.

The preview of the match between G-Dragon’s team and Taeyang’s team will be aired on the 13th and the episode itself will air on the 20th. The winner of the match is selected by viewers’ vote which will be conducted for a week from the 20th until the next episode.

Meanwhile, in “WIN” episode on the 13, YG’s “WIN” team A and B form a team together and visit JYP Entertainment with YG’s head Yang Hyun Suk, to have a showdown with a team of new artists of JYP Entertainment, YG’s friendly rival.
