BIGBANG: Departure of T.O.P from YG and comeback planned for the spring!
After 5 years of absence, BIGBANG is about to make a comeback!
On February 7, YG Entertainment officially announced:
“BIGBANG will be releasing a new song this spring, the recording of the new song has been completed, and they are currently preparing to shoot the music video.“
However, that wasn’t the only big news YG Entertainment had to share about BIGBANG: they also announced that T.O.P will be leaving the agency after 16 years.
YG Entertainment said:
“T.O.P’s exclusive contract with YG is over, and he will take on a wide variety of new challenges as an artist and entrepreneur. We respected T.O.P‘s desire to expand the scope of his individual activities outside of his promotions with BIGBANG, and he reached an agreement on this with the other members.”
The agency continued:
“As long as the conditions are right, T.O.P will still participate in BIGBANG’s activities whenever he can.”
BIGBANG’s upcoming comeback will mark their first new music in four years since releasing “FLOWER ROAD” in March 2018.
