BIGBANG to Put on its Last Stage on Inkigayo Today (Jan.15) Before T.O.P Joins the Military

[OSEN=선미경 기자] BIGBANG will have its goodbye stage on SBS’s Inkigayo on January 15. 

BIGBANG made its fans happy last year by releasing its third regular album titled “MADE THE FULL ALBUM” in December. With the album, BIGBANG achieved a triple crown on SBS’s Inkigayo. 

It was Inkigyo on which the group put on its first “FXXK IT” and “LAST DANCE” stage, and its last stage as a group before before T.O.P joins the military will also be on the show. As fans will not be able to all the five BIGBANG members together on the stage for the time being, BIGBANG’s Inkigayo stage today is even more special. 

The staff of Inkigayo plan to decorate BIGBANG’s “LAST DANCE” stage with white rose petals. It expresses what BIGBANG fans feel as white roses mean “When can we meet again?”

Also on the same day, Shinwha, the longest-running idol group, is to put on its comeback stage and perform “Touch” and “Heaven” of its 13th album. The group has been nominated for the no.1 spot upon the release of its album and will be competing against AOA’s “Excuse Me” and AKMU’s “Last goodbye”.  

Furthermore, Vixx’s Ravi will put on his solo debut stage singing “BOMB”, and Hello Venus will make a comeback and sing “Mysterious”. April’s “April Story”; Cosmic Girls’ “I Wish”; Beatwin’s “Rising Sun”; NCT 127’s “Limitless”; Pentagon’s “Can You Feel It”, Sonamoo’s “I Think I Love U” and “Talk About U”; Dia’s second unit L.U.B’s “13/23”, I’s “I Wish”, Dreamcatcher’s “Chase Me”, and Mixx’s “Love Is a Sudden” stages will air on Inkigayo on the same day.

According to insiders, G-DRAGON and TAEYANG have been working on the songs to be included in their solo albums for quite some time already. Their plan now is to complete the solo albums and also hold solo concerts within the first half of this year. However, the exact time for their solo comeback has not been confirmed yet, as the two usually takeenough time for their work, to guarantee the quality of their music.

YG Entertainment said, “The two have plans for solo comeback in the first half, but the specific time of comeback has not been confirmed yet.”

Around the same time, DAESUNG will kick off his Japan dome tour. After shows on April 15 and 16 at Seibu Prince Dome, more shows will be held on April 22 and 23 at Kyocera Dome. In DAESUNG’s concert tour, four shows will be hosted in two cities, to entertain 200,000 fans in Japan.

BIGBANG’s member T.O.P will join the police for his mandatory military service in this February, so fans will not be able to complete team of BIGBANG for a while. GD and TAEYANG’s solo comeback and DAESUNG’s solo concert will quench fans’ thirst for BIGBANG to some extent.

[Exclusive] GD will fill the vacancy of BIGBANG… G-DRAGON will make a solo comeback in the first half



[TV리포트=김예나 기자] Fans will not be able to complete team of BIGBANG for some time, but there will be a comfort for them. BIGBANG’s leader G-DRAGON (GD) is now planning to make a solo comeback in the first half of this year.

According to the music industry insiders recently, G-DRAGON is now concentrating on the work for his new album. G-DRAGON writes songs constantly in his everyday life, so he will come back as soon as the new album is completed, rather than setting a specific date for comeback.

Insiders said that G-DRAGON will also hold a solo concert along with the release of his solo album. Therefore, the date of G-DRAGON’s solo comeback will be determined in accordance with his plans.

G-DRAGON said in BIGBANG’s 10th anniversary concert held in August this year, “You’ll not be able to complete team of BIGBANG for some time, but we’ll come back to you in different forms. We’ll work even harder”, hinting on BIGBANG members’ solo and unit comeback.

G-DRAGON debuted as the leader of BIGBANG in 2006. He has released solo album “HEARTBREAKER” in 2009, “One of a Kind” in 2012, and then “COUP D’ETAT” in 2013. In 2009 and 2013, he hosted solo concerts, enjoying enormous popularity comparable to that of the complete team of BIGBANG.

G-DRAGON has always drawn keen attention for every solo comeback, by presenting shockingly bold style and music. Music fans are already paying keen attention to what kind of picture G-DRAGON’s first solo project in four years which is carried out in the first year of GD’s thirties, will present.
