ORIGINAL STORY (December 11, 2022): Big Bang member Taeyang is reportedly gearing up for a solo album release and BTS’ Jimin might be getting involved.
According to multiple reports, the “Eyes, Nose, Lips” singer is working on a new album due for a January 2023 release, though YG Entertainment‘s official response to the claims was that “nothing has yet been decided.” JTBC reported over the weekend that the second-generation K-pop star is joining forces with Jimin on one of the tracks.
If all of these claims are confirmed to be true, the new album would mark Taeyang’s first album in five years, since his third record WHITE NIGHT which was released in August 2017.
As for Jimin, his bandmates have been rolling out solo projects over the past few months ever since BTS announced an indefinite hiatus as each member will enlist in the South Korean military.
