VIPs have been waiting for members of BIGBANG to make a comeback after its four members completed their mandatory enlistment last year and renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment. Fans are now speculating that their recent Instagram posts are clues of their imminent return.
According to a report by SBS, BIGBANG members G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P. and Daesung are preparing to release a comeback album this year. However, YG Entertainment has yet to confirm any concrete plans for BIGBANG.
It can be recalled that BIGBANG was initially confirmed to appear as a performer in the Coachella Music Festival this month in California. However, the alarming increase of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the US has promoted the Center for Disease Control to issue an advisory against the staging of gatherings in the US until the virus is contained. Organizers announced the postponement of the festival to October.
Fans found new hope for a BIGBANG comeback when all of the remaining four members renewed their contract with YG Entertainment recently.
It can be recalled that there were originally five members of the iconic Kpop group but Seungri announced his retirement from the entertainment industry last year after becoming involved in the Burning Sun scandal. The BIGBANG maknae recently reported for mandatory enlistment while charges against him were turned over to the military court.

Eldest member T.O.P reported for mandatory enlistment in 2017, followed by G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung the following year. T.O.P completed his service in July has year and has since devoted his time to art. G-Dragon was discharged in October last year and immediately collaborated with Nike and fashion brands for projects involving his peaceminusone fashion empire. Newlywed Taeyang, who got married before enlisting, is keeping a low profile while Daesung has been spotted supporting his YG juniors who have signed up for stage musicals.
Meanwhile, recent Instagram posts from G-Dragon and Taeyang may be indicative that BIGBANG members are already hard at work on their new album.
G-Dragon recently uploaded a series of images showing him in what appears to be a studio. VIPs expressed the hope that GD was already recording songs for BIGBANG's comeback.
