YG Entertainment's Yang Hyun Suk expressed his gratitude �towards Big Bang for renewing their contracts with another five years today. On the morning of April 7th, he stated through Star News:

"I just want to take the time to thank the five members of Big Bang for showing their trust in our company.�We won't be holding back in our support to ensure that the boys will be presenting their fans with amazing music. YG's motto has always been a family-like relationship with all of our artists.� G-Dragon and Taeyang were trainees in YG ever since they were in elementary school.�The remaining members have been with us since they were all young, they're really like true family members to us.�Through this contract renewal, I've come to realize that once again. Fans will be able to see a new side to the group through their special edition album on the 8th.�I'd be really thankful if you continue to show your interest in Big Bang."
