G-Dragon, Big Bang 20th Anniversary Comeback "It Took Time to Coordinate Between Different Agencies... The New Song Includes Members' Names"

Big Bang’s G-Dragon revealed the process of preparing for a comeback as a trio to celebrate their 20th anniversary. On the 22nd, the 116th episode of the web variety show ″Pinggego″ on the YouTube channel ″DdeunDdeun″ featured G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung sharing their comeback preparation process. In the video, G-Dragon mentioned the change from a five-member to a three-member lineup and said that creating a new sound was a challenge. Big Bang has been active as a trio since Seungri left in 2019 and T.O.P left in 2023. Regarding the comeback preparation, G-Dragon said, ″Originally, since we were all under one company (YG Entertainment), I never thought it would be difficult. But this time, because it’s the 20th anniversary, we started roughly organizing things among the members one or two years ago, but the companies are different, so it wasn’t easy.″ He continued, ″Even if we decided ’let’s do it this way’ in our group chat, each of us had to talk to our respective companies, gather feedback, and make decisions, so it took a long time.″ Taeyang added, ″Because Big Bang is under YG, we also had to talk with them. There were many places to go through, so we had more discussions.″ About the new song ″Big (BiiiG),″ they said it has a different feel from previous Big Bang songs. ″G-Dragon said, ’Until now, we rarely mentioned each member’s name in the lyrics except for Big Bang. But this time, the first line of the chorus is ’B.B (Big Bang), G(D), T (Taeyang), Daesung.’″ He explained, ″We included that part like calling out names in each neighborhood.″ When Yoo Jae-suk said, ″Daesung is recognized by Jiyong hyung,″ Daesung replied, ″It took 20 years.″
