Big Bang is splitting up . . . again!

Big Bang is set to make a return to Kpop, not as a group this time, but as individual artists.  YG Entertainment stated that "excluding Daesung, all of the members are currently preparing for their solo albums.  The member who completes their album first will make their comeback first."

YG seems to respect the talents of each member of Big Bang, as this is not the first time that Big Bang has worked separately (GD and TOP/Taeyang and GD have worked as a duo, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri have released successful solo careers).

G-Dragon has already started his activities -- he flew almost immediately to Japan to work on his solo album.  GD had started his work secretly and did not announce it publicly.  It is known if they other members have started their work or are keeping their work a secret.

But now it seems like it's time for a little friendly competition...
Totally random and equally chanced...
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL COME BACK FIRST?

Big Bang's 2010 Summer Comeback

"Big Bang plans to release what will be their 5th album in August or September of 2010.  This was announced by G-Dragon in April during his movie premiere at the CGV cineplex in Times Square.  If the album is released in August, it will mark the 4th anniversary since the breakthrough and debut of the group.  G-Dragon says the group made a bunch of songs, and they will pick the best to be released in the album during this summer" (paraphrased from: http://www.allkpop.com/2010/04/g-dragon-attends-his-shine-a-light-concert-cinema-premiere).

YESS! Haha, just like everyone, I can't wait for August to come around now.  Taeyang------ is awesome. Big Bang is the most searched Kpop band on the web, very popular music, etc. etc. -insert fangirl stuff- Big Bang is what got us really into Kpop, and we've loved them ever since. Shall we take a trip down memory lane with the Korean Pop group? YES, LET'S and here's Big Bang's first release and breakthrough single "Lies."  I love how the girl walks by as if Big Bang were nothing.  I know a large amount of people that would have a different reaction if Taeyang/G-Dragon were around them... and I think it usually involves a wedding ring, a staightjacket, and lots of masking tape.  As always, we'll post anything new we find about Big Bang's comeback.

OH and here is the video of 2NE1 we promised:
