Winner MINO Could've Been The Next BigBang G-Dragon

I already just made a thread not too long ago, asking why did Mino "fall off" or more so why dont he make any noise anymore.

The only reason why I wanted to make this thread is because I started just now watching some of his old performance clips and looking at his older pictures...and I realized he definitely had the GD print for sure..like down to a T.

I know there's a thing that goes around about how so many male idols was influenced by GD and etc, but if anyone was to copy him or be like him, Mino was the right fit.

I would show some examples, but it'll be too much lol,

but the MAIN thing they remind me of each other in is "stage presence" "aura" "confidence"

Example

G-DRAGON ~

MINO ~

Also it don't help that they look alike too lol

Too much image overlap is never good

idk about ifans, but on the kside they are over that trend of hiphop idols

Not gonna lie, i kinda wish kpop would bring that hip-hop and swag vibe back.

Obviously not none of that clubbing, smoking, and drinking, but just more musically and style wise.

Quote from KpopJop

i cringe whenever companies try to push one of their juniors as a younger version of a senior idol

has to be awkward for all parties involved

Its funny you say that, cuz now Hyunsuk the leader of Treasure, who happens to be where?? Also under YG, is dressing like and taking pictures like Mino..down to the lip piercing and all. And he has a lil bit GD aura too💀

Look -

Mino and WINNER is very well-known and loved in Korea. Which is more than most boy groups can say.

It's why they're literally the only boy group that gets invited to all the festivals, particularly the university festivals. It's speaks their draw from the hipster crowd. They aren't viewed as idols.

I don't think ifans realize or know how famous Mino is among the general public.

He became a household name in Korea about 6 or 7 years ago when he became a fixture on television in Korea. Mostly due to Na PD taking a liking to him and putting him on all of his shows.

His focus on television, which made him famous in Korea but is a medium international fans don't pay attention to probably took away his time from music, which ifans pay attention to.

TV has made him wealthy. So I don't blame him.

I got a question, and I'm not tryna be funny either, cuz I really wanna know.

Are knetz reacting to his recent appearance negatively or do they not care???

Cuz giving how he looked like this 2-3 years agobf7b30eea2a96d74a27e015d36b96799.jpg

And you know how Koreans are about looks

Quote from Blue2012

Mino released a hearfelt IG post after not emerging publicly for a while after his father's death. The post could be viewed as concerning for some, but he really just revealed he was in a lot of pain.

An article about it trended #1 on Naver.

As far as reaction in Korea, I see a lot of people showing understanding and happy he's healthy.

His body in the 'Fiance' era was incredibly thin and I think there was a lot of concern about it. His natural physique is thicker, not heavy or fat, just bigger. So people were not used to him being that skinny.

See as a international fan, we see people thin, big, thick, medium size and all.

But Koreans I know usually have a strict opinion on Idols looks, so that's why I wanted to ask you.

And I thank you for letting me know that they are understanding with him❤
