BIGBANG set to drop new single on 20th debut anniversary

Big Bang, the iconic K-pop group, is set to release a new digital single on Wednesday evening, marking their 20th debut anniversary. The track, titled BiiiG, will be the group's first new song in four years and four months, following the release of Still Life in April 2022. YG Entertainment, the agency behind Big Bang, announced that the new single will showcase the synergy among members, incorporating G-Dragon's sharp rapping, Taeyang's groovy vocals, and Daeseong's powerful voice.

All three members played a role in the creation of the new project, from producing the song to directing its visual concept and marketing strategy. Big Bang debuted in 2006 and has since become one of the leading groups of second-generation K-pop, producing hits like Lies, Last Farewell, Haru Haru, Fantastic Baby, and Bang Bang Bang.

To celebrate the new release, the group will launch its world tour, XX: Cosmos, starting at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, northwestern Seoul, on August 21. The tour will feature 33 shows across 19 cities in North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia.
