BIGBANG Reunites on Stage as 20th Anniversary Approaches — New Single, Surprise Concerts, and Hints of More to Come
SEOUL, South Korea – April 2025 — Legendary K-pop group BIGBANG is making a powerful return to the spotlight ahead of their 20th anniversary in 2026, rekindling fan excitement with surprise reunions, a chart-topping single, and promising glimpses of what’s next.
After years of uncertainty regarding the group’s future, Taeyang sparked a wave of nostalgia and anticipation with his long-awaited solo concert series, THE LIGHT YEAR, held in August and September 2024. The performances marked his first solo shows in seven years. However, what truly captivated fans was the unexpected reunion with G-Dragon and Daesung, who joined him on stage to perform iconic BIGBANG tracks such as “This Love,” “BANG BANG BANG,” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY.” The chemistry between the trio was palpable, reigniting hopes of a full comeback.
Building on this momentum, the members released a new collaborative single titled “Home Sweet Home” on November 22, 2024, marking their first official musical project together in over two years. The track debuted to critical acclaim and commercial success, topping South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart and gaining widespread praise for its nostalgic tone and lyrical reflection. The song also features on G-Dragon’s latest solo album, Übermensch, which has further solidified his role as a solo powerhouse while still embracing his BIGBANG roots.
The surprises didn’t stop there. On February 1, 2025, during the encore leg of Taeyang’s concert in Incheon, G-Dragon and Daesung made another unexpected appearance, performing for a packed arena and sending fans into a frenzy of excitement and speculation.
With the band’s 20th anniversary set for 2026, fans are now eagerly watching for signs of a larger-scale reunion. While T.O.P, who left the group in 2023, has not yet confirmed any involvement, Taeyang has hinted at special fan events to celebrate the milestone. Industry insiders suggest more commemorative releases and potential performances may be in the works.
As BIGBANG’s influence continues to echo through the K-pop world, their recent activity signals that the kings of the genre may be preparing to reclaim their throne once again.
