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."
