As if dominating music charts for three months wasn't enough, BIGBANG just announced another reason for K-pop fans to get excited.
The fourth release from BIGBANG's month-long "MADE" project will include a song from BIGBANG's subunit, GD&TOP. The hip hop duo, comprised of BIGBANG members G-Dragon and T.O.P, hasn't released music together since 2010.

GD&TOP's song will be the first song unveiled in the August single "E" from BIGBANG.

YG Entertainment confirmed news reports of subunit members G-Dragon and T.O.P filming a music video for the song. The pair are BIGBANG's rappers, and collaborated on released three singles and an album in 2010. The album, "GD&TOP" became one of the best selling albums of 2010 in South Korea.

The pair's first song, "HIGH HIGH" marked a departure from BIGBANG's quintessential five-member lineup for the first time. Since then, BIGBANG introduced as second subgroup, GD X TAEYANG, in 2014, with the song "Good Boy."

The news relating to "E" reveals that BIGBANG will change things up for their August release.
BIGBANG's "MADE" project began in May, with the release of two singles under the name of "M." The consecutive "A" and "D" releases by BIGBANG followed in June and July, and August will see additional releases under the "E" title.

GD&TOP's new song will be released on August 5.

[?????=??? ??] BIGBANG who has been releasing new songs on the 1 of every month in their “MADE” series will release August’s new songs on the 5 of the month.

“E”, the last album of “MADE” series, will be released on August 5. YG’s official blog has also posted a teaser image of GD&TOP. The image shows the back of G-DRAGON and T.O.P who will perform as a unit team for the first time in five years.

BIGBANG has been releasing a single of their comeback series from May on the 1 of every month. However, for this August, the date is the 5 of the month. The reason behind that is because BIGBANG is now out of Korea for their world tour and August 1 is Saturday.

YG Entertainment explains, “Every new release of ‘MADE’ series has been live-broadcasted for countdown with fans. However, August 1 is Saturday and the members will be doing world tour at that time. So we inevitably changed the date.” So, the reason behind the changed date is because BIGBANG members wanted to count-down the new release with fans.

For “E” album, not all the team members but G-DRAGON and T.O.P will release a new song. It is the first time for the two to perform as a unit team in five years since 2010. Fans’ expectations are rising for the synergy to be created by the two.

BIGBANG has been sweeping the No.1 on music charts from May 1 this year, with their comeback project “MADE” series. “M”’s “LOSER” and “BAE BAE” dominated top places on charts for a long time and “A”’s “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” followed the footsteps to gain a big success. In July when the rainy season began, sentimental song “IF YOU” and cool and exciting song “SOBER” took the No.1 in TV music shows without any TV performance, showing a great potential.

BIGBANG is now preparing to hit another home-run with new album “E”. Expectations for the synergy to be created by G-DRAGON and T.O.P to mark the finale of the series will continue to rise.
