YG Entertainment (YG) announced on August 18, “We’ve decided that BIGBANG needs some time off to get recharged since they have been working non-stop for four months.”

BIGBANG’s agency added, “The members also said that they want to put some more time in making more songs for the new album as it will be a regular album. We decided to use the three weeks in September that were originally set aside for appearing on TV shows in Korea as time for the members to get recharged and to work on making more songs for the new album.” They asked for the fans’ understanding about the delay in releasing the new album.

In addition to releasing new singles every month for the last four months, BIGBANG is currently on a world tour to meet more than 1.4 million fans worldwide. The tickets to each of their concerts were sold out in mere minutes, and BIGBANG’s singles topped the iTunes charts in 16 countries, demonstrating their global popularity. They have also set a new record by taking the No.1 spot on Korea’s monthly charts for three months in a row.

Their “LET’S NOT FALL IN LOVE” released in August also swept Korea’s major weekly charts for two weeks in a row. Expectations are running high on whether they will be able to become No.1 on Korea’s monthly charts for four months in a row.

Meanwhile, the August 22 show of Infinite Challenge will feature G-DRAGON, TAEYANG, and Kwanghee – the Whangtaegi team – performing “Mapsosa” at the Youngdong Highway Music Festival, and the music file of the song will be released right after the show.
