BIGBANG is gearing up for their highly-anticipated return!

On March 16, a source from YG Entertainment confirmed, “BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P, and Daesung recently completed filming the music video for their new song.”

The source continued, “BIGBANG’s comeback preparations are progressing smoothly. We will inform you of the release date as well as further details on the new song soon.” Although details of the comeback have yet to be revealed, the music video is the final stage of preparation for an album.

This will be BIGBANG’s first new music in approximately four years since the release of “Flower Road” in March 2018. In “Flower Road,” BIGBANG sings, “This is not our last. Let’s meet again when the flowers bloom,” which has drawn even more attention to their upcoming spring comeback.

BIGBANG debuted in 2006, and the group released countless hit songs since then including “LIES,” “LAST FAREWELL,” “HARU HARU,” “FANTASTIC BABY,” “BANG BANG BANG,” and more. Last month in February, YG Entertainment announced BIGBANG’s spring comeback and that T.O.P has parted ways with the agency, but he will be participating in group activities whenever he is able to.
