Following their long-awaited reunion as a trio at Coachella <\/a>earlier this year, G-Dragon<\/a> wants fans to know that BIGBANG is \u201ctruly back.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a show<\/a> at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California, on Saturday (Sept. 5), G-Dragon addressed the audience and made it clear he was thrilled to be back onstage with Taeyang<\/a> and Daesung<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cSuch an amazing moment, almost like a dream,\u201d he told the audience. \u201cWe get to celebrate 20 years of BIGBANG together now. This might sound a little personal, but since my solo comeback a couple of years ago, I\u2019ve been very careful, step by step. I kept trying to figure out a master plan to bring our golden days back, not just for myself, but for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The legendary K-pop group, who released their first new single<\/a> in four years last month with \u201cBiiiG,\u201d are currently on a world tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut. He\u2019s indicated that the celebratory tour isn\u2019t where the reunion stops, and there\u2019s more on the way from BIGBANG soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, BIGBANG is truly back, with the biggest world tour we\u2019ve ever had,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd now we\u2019re here together, and I\u2019m really excited for what\u2019s coming next. We just released one single yet! \u2026 From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, and we love you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

BIGBANG made their debut as a five-piece in 2006 under YG Entertainment, quickly building up a loyal fanbase in South Korea and beyond. <\/p>\n

While they haven\u2019t released a new studio album since MADE in 2016, they\u2019ve indicated that they\u2019ve not reunited just to celebrate their legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following their long-awaited reunion as a trio at Coachella earlier this year, G-Dragon wants fans to know that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":617658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-617657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/617658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
