YG Entertainment rep says there will be a new song from Big Bang as a whole within this year

As fans know, Big Bang is just about due for a new release as a group, but the question is when will it be coming?

It was rumored earlier that the boys would have returned about now, but we're still in the midst of waiting for a solo album from Taeyang as well as a solo release from T.O.P that is rumored for mid-November.

Since the boys will be kicking off their Japan tour mid November, it was expected that they'll have new songs to present to their fans by then. So with questions rising and fans' patience wearing thin, a rep from the agency revealed that there is indeed a new song coming within this year.

The rep commented, "Ahead of Big Bang's 6 dome tour in Japan, the members plan to work on a new song... A comeback date hasn't been confirmed yet. But within this year, it's expected that they'll be releasing a new song."

In addition, according to various insiders, the boys are already said to be in the midst of preparing for the song and will be following up with it after T.O.P's solo comeback, further raising fans' hopes that the release isn't far off.
