BIGBANG, who has been running nonstop the last four months releasing albums as part of the 'MADE SERIES,' has decided to postpone the release of its full-length album, originally scheduled for release on September 1, in order to recharge. 

YG Entertainment stated on August 18, "We decided that BIGBANG, who has been running nonstop the last four months, needs time to recharge, and as it's a full-length album, the members expressed that they wanted to add a new song for a more high-quality album. The members have decided to use the three weeks in September we freed up for BIGBANG's domestic activities to recharge and work on the new song." YG also asked for fans' understanding regarding the full-length album's postponement. 

In addition to YG Entertainment and Yang Hyun Suk suing reporter 'K', it's been revealed that agency artist Seungri and an employee have also filed lawsuits against the same reporter.

According to those in the legal field, the BIGBANG member filed against the reporter earlier this month for libel, asking for compensation of 50 million KRW (~ 42,000 USD). An employee under the agency also filed citing defamation, asking for 30 million KRW (~ 25,000 USD) in damages.

Seungri claimed in his lawsuit that although the police had ruled his car crash last year as being the cause of speeding, reporter 'K' brought up speculations about drunk driving. Meanwhile, the YG employee is suing about the article 'K' wrote on the employee's court case related to his military draft. Reporter 'K' previously reported on the employee losing his case in court and said that the employee bragged about being a 'high class YG employee' and brought harm to those around him by exposing his personal issues.

Regarding all these lawsuits, 'K's lawyer commented, "It's not that reporter 'K' has any special [ill] feelings towards YG, but rather that he brings up suspicions in his articles about the prosecution letting the agency off the hook in hopes that a celebrity in the entertainment world will also become a person who is respected on the aspect of his personal life as well. This kind of freedom of the press must be assured."
