YG Entertainment has revealed that BIGBANG has already finished recording their new song, and are “currently preparing to shoot the music video”. This means that apart from a fresh earworm to bop to, there will also be sick new moves for you fangirls to swoon over. Fantastic, baby.
This will be the Korean pop group’s first new song since “Flower Road”, which was released back in 2018.

But with this elating announcement comes a bittersweet piece of news: BIGBANG member T.O.P, who often raps alongside G-Dragon in the band’s tracks, is leaving the YG label to pursue his solo projects. This has been said to be a mutual agreement that has been discussed with the other members prior, with the agency also giving him their blessings as he moves forward.
How will this play out for BIGBANG’s future? We’re not entirely sure, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the foursome will be shrinking to a trio; YG was quoted as saying, “As long as the conditions are right, [T.O.P] will always participate in BIGBANG’s activities whenever he is able.” Fans can hold their tears just yet, for there still remains a chance to see this oppa appearing alongside G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung.

There has been no specific release date for BIGBANG’s new single as of yet, but YG has mentioned that it will be out in Spring 2022, so we’re guessing we’ll hear of it real soon! Stay tuned for further updates.
