G-Dragon, the leader of the group Big Bang, has ended his contract with YG Entertainment.
According to YG Entertainment’s quarterly report published on the 15th of last month, ‘Major contracts and research and development activities’, G-Dragon’s name is not listed in the list of singers and actors contracted on March 31st. As a result, rumors spread that G-Dragon would leave YG without an official announcement from YG.
In this regard, on the 6th, YG Entertainment officials made their first statement. According to the person in question, “G-Dragon’s exclusive contract has now expired.” However, regarding the relationship between YG Entertainment and G-Dragon in the future, it has been suggested that ‘in progress’ is still possible.
This is because a YG official explained, “We cooperate through a separate contract for advertising and other activities,” and added, “We intend to negotiate additional contracts when we resume music activities, and YG will not support this.”

In summary, although the current exclusive contract with G-Dragon has been legally terminated, some relationships still exist and additional contracts are being discussed.
As all the members except G-Dragon left YG Entertainment earlier, many people are paying attention to see if G-Dragon’s exclusive contract will expire and if he will finally leave the arms of YG Entertainment. Taeyang is at The Black Label, led by Teddy, and Daesung is at R&D Company.

Meanwhile, in January this year, G-Dragon revealed directly via YouTube that he is preparing for his first solo album in six years. Also, in an interview with Bazaar this spring, he said he was “thinking in different ways” about the new album he will release after 6 years.
