BigBang is set to return with new music this spring after a four-year-long hiatus due to the members’ mandatory military duties, YG Entertainment said Monday.
The group’s management agency revealed that the K-Pop act completed recording for the new song and will be filming a music video for the song. However, BigBang’s comeback date and title of their new song are yet to be disclosed.
Their comeback marks the act’s first new music in four years since the release of ‘Flower Road’ in 2018.
YG Entertainment also announced that T.O.P, who received a suspended prison sentence for smoking weed in 2017, would be leaving the South Korean agency after the group’s comeback and explore possibilities as an artist and businessman.
BigBang debuted with five members in 2006 under YG Entertainment, becoming one of the world’s most influential K-Pop boy bands. The Seoul-based boy band released a number of hits, including ‘Fantastic Baby,’ ‘Last Farewell’ and ‘Bang Bang Bang.’ BigBang ranked on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2017 and became K-Pop’s first to land on its Celebrity 100 list.
Taeyang, G-Dragon, T.O.P and Daesung were enlisted in military service as all able-bodied South Korean men must carry out mandatory service for around two years.
Seungri was convicted of sex services for potential investors in his business and other charges in 2019. The disgraced former K-Pop star is currently serving his term in a military prison after being sentenced to a three-year prison term on nine charges in August last year.
