SEOUL – BIGBANG’s Taeyang has signaled the start of the legendary K-pop group’s 20th-anniversary project this year, with a solo comeback focused on discovering his own core 'quintessence' and driving new challenges.
The announcement comes amid fan expectations for a series of special activities marking two decades of BIGBANG’s career. Taeyang, one of the group's main vocalists and a fashion icon, will lead the opening phase with music imbued with his personal touch.
According to South Korean media sources, the project is not just a return after a long hiatus but also an inner journey to help Taeyang redefine his artistic identity. He described the upcoming work as an effort to find 'Quintessence'—the purest essence—amid the ever-changing flow of music.
This is seen as a strategic move for BIGBANG to reassert its position after numerous lineup changes. Specific details about the album and promotional schedule remain under wraps, but observers predict that other members will join later stages of the anniversary project.
