Big Bang is much more nervous about their comeback now


BIGBANG is nervous now. After taking a break from Korea showbiz for 2 years and 3 months, they are going to release a new minialbum , a personna who is close to them said,' they are more nervous now than when they debuted.'

In the last week of SBS Inkigayo, Seungri, GD & TOP ended their solo/group promotions. All the 5 members are now in their studio of Mapo YG Building to prepare for their comeback concentratedly day and night.

The staff who witnessed how hard they put in the practice said, 'The members feel very delighted and blissful for their reunion after such a long period of time but they are also very nervous now since they have to return with the stages which can matched their name, 'BIGBANG'.

Although the period that BIGBANG has been in hiatus was long, the individual activities of each member are abundant. After they have ended the promotion of 'Sunset Glow' (the title song in their 2nd album), then they have been active either in solo or unit activities.

Afterwards, the stages and performances they showed are all said to be 'peak performances', especially the maknae of the group, Seungri, whose songs have been sweeping all music charts and music programmes. He has shown great improvement.

The teaser of the 4th minialbum was released yesterday and a variety of the album jackets was expected. Since BIGBANG is also going to Japan after promoting this album and afterwards, they will produce the 2nd one, that's why the albums are important.

From 25th-27th, they are going to hold their concerts in Seoul Olympic Park Stadium to meet the fans directly. Unlike other idols, they would not comeback through local TVchannels since. It is because they want to focus on their music quality.

On 27thm SBS will also air an one-hour 'Comeback Show' (tentative name) which is really shocking since there are no other artists who have had such a long comeback programme except Taiji.

Since there are so many heated discussions and controversies ongoing, the expectation about BIGBANG's comeback has become higher and higher.
