Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency, made an exciting announcement on April 16 KST, revealing plans for the iconic singer's long-awaited comeback in the latter part of this year. In an official press release, the agency stated, "G-Dragon is diligently preparing a new album for a comeback in the second half of the year. Please look forward to it."

While there had been hints of a potential comeback from G-Dragon in previous statements, this marks the first official confirmation through an official press release. The news has sparked widespread excitement and anticipation among K-pop enthusiasts, who have eagerly awaited G-Dragon's return to the music scene.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from G-Dragon, whose last solo album, 'Kwon Ji Yong', was released in 2017. If the anticipated solo album drops in the latter part of this year as indicated by the agency, it will mark G-Dragon's first comeback in seven years.

Speculation about G-Dragon's upcoming album started in January when Japanese musician Yoshiki, from X Japan, shared updates on social media about collaborating with G-Dragon in his studio. Yoshiki's posts and photos with G-Dragon led to speculation about his involvement in the new album.
