WINNER's Kang Seung-yoon Reveals "Superstar K2" Reunion Trip to Australia on "House Finder"

Kang Seung-yoon of the group WINNER will share behind-the-scenes stories from his trip to Australia with fellow "Superstar K2" contestants, including Huh Gak and John Park, on the MBC variety show "House Finder" (formerly "Find Me a House").

The episode, airing on November 20th, will feature a "Romantic and Emotional House Tour" as the team embraces the fleeting autumn season. Kang Seung-yoon will join hosts Kim Sook and Joo Woo-jae for this special segment.

Before the tour, Kang Seung-yoon appeared in the studio to introduce his latest solo full-length album, titled "ME(美)". He performed the title track, a synth-pop rock song with a captivating melody, with the co-hosts providing impromptu accompaniment. The seamless collaboration led Dong-min to jokingly suggest, "When you have a concert, invite us as your session band."

Kang Seung-yoon also discussed his home decorating experience during his military leave last year. He described his style as a blend of mid-century modern with "ferniturism" (a neologism referring to the aesthetic of industrial metal) and a cozy feel. He humorously confessed that his dream hobby room, filled with a recliner sofa, LPs, and photos, had only been used about five times.

Most notably, he revealed details about his recent trip to Australia with his "Superstar K2" peers. "Kim Ji-soo suggested a domestic trip in our group chat," Kang Seung-yoon explained, "but it suddenly escalated into a trip to Australia through John Park's personal channel. We even ended up interviewing Hollywood stars!"

When Joo Woo-jae asked if the order of who pays on trips is based on ranking or age, Kang Seung-yoon replied, "Coincidentally, Huh Gak, who ranked first, is the eldest. I wanted to buy something too, but Huh Gak hyung paid."

Kang Seung-yoon, Kim Sook, and Joo Woo-jae will then head to Jongno-gu, Seoul, to find a house that best captures the autumn atmosphere. Kim Sook remarked, "It looks like a concert today. Im Young-woong sang 17 songs, and John Park sang 25."

In response, Kang Seung-yoon declared, "I have a complex about John Park. He was second, and I was fourth. If John Park sang 25 songs, I could sing 40!" This declaration of ambition caught attention. The episode airs on Thursday, November 20th, at 10 PM.

Korean netizens reacted positively, with comments like: "Kang Seung-yoon's solo song is amazing!", "It's great to see the Superstar K2 members are still close", and "Looking forward to the emotional house tour on Home Finder". They expressed excitement for his new music and the enduring friendship among the "Superstar K2" contestants.
