Meanwhile, G-Dragon, who was born in 1988, made his debut in 2001 by featuring in "2001 Hip Hop Flex in South Korea".

Since then, he officially made his debut as a Big Bang (BIGBANG) in 2006 after going through YG Family and left several hit songs while working as a group and solo artist, including "Bang Bang Bang," "Fantastic Baby," "Bad Boy," and many more.

In 2019, BIGBANG members, including Taeyang and Daesung, wrapped up their military services, thus drawing anticipation for their major group comeback.

Initially, YG Entertainment revealed that they would have their first return stage through the U.S. music festival, "Coachella," but unfortunately, the event was indefinitely postponed due to the coronavirus.

Though a group comeback is currently not possible, it was reported in November last year that G-Dragon is preparing for a solo comeback this 2021.

Attention is focused on whether he will be able to show his former "music gangster" side or will venture on a new genre for his reported comeback this year.
