Winner (Hangul: 위너), stylized as WINNER, is a South Korean boy group formed in 2014 by YG Entertainment. The group's five members are Seungyoon, Mino, Seunghoon, Jinwoo and Taehyun.
The group was first introduced in the 2013 reality survival program WIN: Who is Next as "Team A." Team A and their adversaries Team B were both formed from trainees within YG Entertainment and competed against each other for the chance to debut as the first YG boy group in eight years, since the debut of Big Bang. At the conclusion of the program, the name "WINNER" was given to Team A after they won all three rounds of public voting.
After several delays, the group made their Korean debut at the YG Family Concert on August 15, 2014. Their broadcast debut was on Inkigayo on August 17. On September 10, the group debuted in Japan. Their debut has been considered as one of the best Kpop debuts of 2014.
To date, the group has sold over 200,000 physical albums as a group and more than 8.6 million digital records, including 4,749,219 records as a group and 3,885,050 as solo members.
