Abstract: W_k structure underlying the tensverse realization of SU(2) at level k is analyzed. Extension of the equivalence existing between covariant and light-cone gauge realization of affine Kac-Moody algebra to W_k algebras is given. Higher spin generators related to parafermions are extracted from the operator product algebra of the generators and are showed to be written in terms of only one free boson compactified on a circle.
