SBS to air hour-long Big Bang comeback special

After confirming their official comeback plans yesterday, Big Bang will now be meeting with their fans through an hour-long SBS special called “Big Bang Comeback Show” on February 27th!
This is the first time a singer has being given a full hour to promote their comeback on a public broadcast network since the legendary Seo Taiji.
Given the rarity of such an opportunity, it seems that SBS deemed Big Bang as worthy of the time because of the history they’ve built up both in Korea and overseas.
SBS representatives have put a gag order on the directors in order to keep Big Bang’s newest songs under wraps until the special airs.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that with the exception of the intro track, the other 6 from their mini album will be promoted as title tracks at one shot.

Reasons for Big Bang to Release 4th Mini-album on 24th February

After two years of hiatus, BIGBANG will comeback with a 'mini album'.On 14th (today) YGE has released the teaser image of their new album on the official website with the comeback date stated as '2011.02.24' and the phrase '4TH MINI ALBUM RELEASE' .

BIGBANG will make their comeback with a 'mini album'. After two years, why they comeback only with a minialbum ? It is because they will incresase their frequency of producing albums this year and they will keep meeting their fans instead of only promoting for a short period of time.

In an interview that G-Dragon did earlier, he said, "after we come back from Japan, we are planning to make one more album." The teaser image shows the words 'BIG BANG' in the mouth of a skull with star-shaped eyes and the skull is also wearing a pair of headphone. It has stirred up the attention of the fans.

At a night of last week, BIGBANG flew to US to film their music video.
BIGBANG's BIGSHOW will be held from 25th to 27th at Seoul Olympic Stadium. Unlike other idol groups, BIGBANG will not comeback on TV channels but in their concerts which they can meet their fans because they want to focus on the quality of their concerts and performances.
