Taeyang of BIGBANG is making a solo comeback.
On April 1, his agency The Black Label announced the news by posting a lengthy message on its official social media.
Taeyang spoke about 'quintessence,' meaning the purest essence. He said, "The word that remained in my heart — and the word this generation needs most. I poured all my love, joy, and passion into this process, but at times I had to confront my own madness along the way."
He continued, "I can't say I've found the perfect meaning of 'quintessence,' but searching for it became the path that shaped this album. One thing is clear: it already exists within me and within you. Through this process, we may find the answer on the next page."
He also said, "It may look like music, but it could be more than that. I hope that one day you'll find it within yourself, too," describing it as "the most important yet invisible thing."
Meanwhile, fellow member G-Dragon recently mentioned at his fan meeting that BIGBANG will make a comeback this year to celebrate the group's 20th debut anniversary.
