YG, “GD & Justin Bieber Collabo? NO: Working on BIGBANG’s Album”
[스타뉴스 길혜성기자] BIGBANG’s leader GD was mentioned in foreign media that he has just completed a collaboration project with the Canada-born artist Justin Bieber. However, YG Entertainment denied and said such news is not true.
YG’s personnel said to Star News on Jan 27, “The news is of the past. They are not carrying it out anymore.”
“GD is devoting his time and energy working on BIGBANG’s upcoming new album. The news on the two artists collaborating is not true.”
The Chinese media claimed they quoted a tweet from Billboard about the two artists collaborating.
Japanese media including the Sankei Sports reported on Jan 18, after BIGBANG’s Osaka Kyocera Dome concert, “BIGBANG will be releasing their first album in 3 years. Leader GD announced that they will return with a good album and it excited the 50,000 fans in the dome.”
BIGBANG was in Japan for the “BIGBANG JAPAN DOME TOUR 2014-2015 ‘X’”, in Nagoya Dome (Nov 15-16, 2014), Osaka Kyocera Dome (Nov 20-23), Fukuoka Yahoo Oku Dome (Dec 6-7), Sapporo Dome (Dec 20), Tokyo Dome (Dec 25-27) and then back in Osaka Kyocera Dome (Jan 16-18, 2015), travelling across 5 cities to perform 15 times joined by a total of 741,000 fans.
