[NEWS] G-Dragon and TOP interview on KStar Lovers Japan Magazine


 

I think that there are many many fans who are waiting for BIGBANG’s new album so please let us know the reason why you formed this 2-member unit.

GD: With regards to BIGBANG’s album, we had been preparing for it since previously. But because the other three members were busy due to their various individual activities, the 2 of us ended up recording many songs together. Those people who have been waiting for BIGBANG probably want to hear all 5 of our voices equally. While thinking of that, we came to a conclusion that the two of us will release our recorded songs first, and then the BIGBANG album will be released after that.

[NEWS] G-Dragon and T.O.P album already received 200K pre-orders


 

It’s become one of the most anticipated releases of the year, and recently, YG Entertainment provided a figure to show how big GD&TOP’s debut album could be.

They revealed to Money Today Star News, “The duo’s first album will be released offline on the 24th. As of today, the 22nd, we are surprised to have already received 200,000 pre-orders. This is more than the pre-orders of any past Big Bang album. The window for pre-orders is open until the 23rd, and we expect the sales figure to increase.”


The incredible response to GD&TOP’s unit album is credited to the pre-release of the singles “High High” and “Oh Yeah”, in addition to their SBS “Inkigayo” performance.

It’s also been a long wait for Big Bang fans, as it’s been quite a while since members of the group collaborated to deliver a non-solo release.
