After 4 years of hiatus, K-pop boy band BIGBANG is set to release new music.
YG Entertainment confirmed on Monday, February 7, that K-pop legendary group BIGBANG is set to make their first comeback in almost four years.
“BIGBANG will be releasing a new song this spring,” the agency announced, according to a Soompi’s report. An official date has yet to be announced.
However, after the good news, YG Entertainment announced the bad one for the VIPs — member TOP’s departure from the label after 16 years.
“T.O.P’s exclusive contract with YG has ended, and he will be taking on a wide variety of new challenges as both an artist and an entrepreneur,” stated YG Entertainment. “We respected T.O.P’s desire to broaden the scope of his individual activities aside from just his promotions with BIGBANG, and he successfully came to an agreement about this with the other members.”
“As long as the conditions are right, [T.O.P] will always participate in BIGBANG’s activities whenever he is able.” The agency continued.
BIGBANG’s upcoming comeback will mark their first new music in four years since the release of “Flower Road” in March 2018.
