The top idol group BIGBANG composed of members, G-Dragon, Taeyang, TOP, Daesung wakes up from a long hibernation and finally returns.

YG Entertainment, the agency of BIGBANG, said in February 7, "Big Bang is planning to release a new song this spring."

This is Big Bang's first new song in about 4 years since the single 'Flower Road' was released in March 2018. At the time, BIGBANG sang on 'Flower Road', 'This isn't the last time we'll meet again when the flowers bloom'. As in this song, BIGBANG is really meeting the fans again in the spring when flowers are blooming.

Debuting in 2006 and celebrating their 17th year this year, BIGBANG has released countless hit songs such as 'Lie', 'Last Farewell', 'Haru Haru', 'FANTASTIC BABY', and 'BANG BANG BANG'.

BIGBANG is regarded as a true artist group in which most of the members participated in writing and composing the lyrics. Not only in music, but also in fashion and choreography, they exert a great influence on popular culture and is considered a leader in K-pop.

Starting with T.O.P in 2017, BIGBANG members went through a long hiatus of four years as G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung enlisted in the military in turn. It is expected that the response of many global fans will be explosive.

At the same time, with the BIGBANG comeback, T.O.P will end his contract with YG and start a personal project, taking on various challenges as an artist and entrepreneur.

YG said, "We respect T.O.P's opinion that he wants to expand his personal activities as well as BIGBANG, and we have discussed it well with the members."

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
