BIGBANG is making a comeback with only 4 members…
BIGBANG‘s agency, YG Entertainment, announced the comeback of the group on the 7th of last month. This news is definitely the center of attention not only in Korea but also the world.
In fact, BIGBANG could have made a splendid comeback stage in the United States if it wasn’t for the pandemic. They were invited to perform at Coachella but the show was canceled due to the pandemic.
Fans have been waiting for this comeback for nearly 4 years since BIGBANG‘s last single ‘Flower Road’ was released in March 2018. On the 16th, it was reported that BIGBANG had finished recording their new song and music video.
Although BIGBANG’s comeback is about to happen very soon, unfortunate news has already been delivered. BIGBANG, which is currently a 4-member group due to Seungri’s withdrawal, will soon become a trio. It is not easy for an idol group that has lasted for over 10 years to maintain its team strong without members’ leaving. However, it is not because of internal conflicts between BIGBANG’s members but a member’s personal desire to leave.
Following Seungri, T.O.P also announced his departure from the group. T.O.P, who caused a social stir due to his drug scandal, mentioned the release of BIGBANG’s new song this spring in an interview with Hong Kong magazine “Prestige”.
He said, “BIGBANG’s comeback song will contain the reason why I decided to leave and messages to fans”, adding, “I don’t want to consider this as the last comeback of BIG BANG, but honestly, I think it will take a long time until I return as T.O.P of BIG BANG”. He didn’t directly say he was leaving the group but announced that he would part ways with the group members. However, T.O.P added that there is still a possibility of a reunion.
In fact, there will be many obstacles to overcome if BIGBANG wants to reunite as a 4-member group since T.O.P already terminated his exclusive contract with YG Entertainment.
Attention is focusing on whether this would be the “last greeting” of BIGBANG, which is about to make a comeback after such a long time with a 4-member formation.
