Big Bang’s newest duo unit, GD&TOP, will be present at the year-end song festivals for SBS and MBC.

They’ve already released “High High” and “Oh Yeah” last week, ahead of their full album release on the 24th. The highly-catchy tunes have been well-received by both Big Bang and general music fans alike.

Fans have been treated to additional great news, as YG Entertainment announced that the two will perform on the 29th for the “2010 SBS Gayo Daejun“, and on the 31st for the “2010 MBC Gayo Daejun“.

A YGE representative said, “GD&TOP has just started promotions, but we have decided to have them attend the SBS and MBC year-end music festivals.”

Unfortunately, they will not be present at the “2010 KBS Gayo Festival“, which is sandwiched between the other two shows.

GD & TOP have already been confirmed to perform at Club Heaven Christmas Social Party in Kangnam on December 24th and new ads have surfaced from clubnb, that say they will perform on the same night at Club Harlem Open Triple Party in Hondae as special guests.

Club Harlem’s introduction of GD & TOP:

“Hello. As a special celebration for the newly opened Club Harlem, G-Dragon and TOP are the invited guests for December 24th. Please show a lot of attention. Thank you.”

Keep in mind YG entertainment hasn’t confirmed the second club attendance just yet but it seems pretty legit if clubnb already is advertising this with flyers all over Korea. The double combo will be working hard on that night!
