[Exclusive] BIGBANG will not perform in music awards of 3 major public TV networks this year… “To concentrate on preparation for new album

BIGBANG will not perform in this year’s end-of-year music awards of three major public TV networks.

According to a high-ranking official from YG Entertainment on the 16 this month, BIGBANG will concentrate on preparation for their new album rather than performing in the music awards of the three major public TV networks, to keep their promise to fans. Since BIGBANG’s world tour “BIGBANG WORLD TOUR 2015-2016 MADE” is still going on as well, BIGBANG will spend the whole end-of-year holidays season for their work on new album and preparation for the concert tour.
The YG official explained, “BIGBANG members are so sorry for fans about not performing in the end-of-year music awards. However, they opted for concentrating on preparation for ‘MADE’ full-length album, to keep their promise to fans. The members are now working so hard on the new album day and night without any weekend’s rest, to present high-quality album to fans as soon as possible”.

The news may not be welcomed by fans who have been waiting for BIGBANG’s performances in Korea. However, as BIGBANG is now doing their best for the release of “MADE” full album, fans will be able to witness the grand finale of BIGBANG’s legendary success for this year earlier.

Plus, BIGBANG always puts top priority on the quality of stage production and perfectness of their performances, but end-of-year music awards aired on TV cannot usually guarantee the best quality of performance, as they are very quick-paced with so many singers waiting for their performance. That is one of the factors which made BIGBANG decide not to perform in the three TV networks’ music awards, as their way of production does not fit well with BIGBANG’s style of performance.

So now, BIGBANG is rounding off their busy year with working on their new album. Every album of “MADE” series that began in May this year dominated music charts for four months in a row and recorded great achievements. “LOSER” was selected as the most-listened to song of the year and the video of “BANG BANG BANG” was picked as the most-watched music video of the year. So, people have high expectations for BIGBANG’s full-length album. BIGBANG also recorded great success in end-of-year music awards, by receiving the best artist and song of the year awards, which are grand prizes, in “2015 Melon Music Awards”, as well as the best singer and song of the year awards in “2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards”.
