Boy group BIGBANG has launched efforts to strengthen communication with fans.
According to YG Entertainment (hereinafter YG) on the 22nd, BIGBANG simultaneously opened its official community and SNS channels on the global fandom platform VSTAGE at 8:19 p.m. on the 21st, symbolizing their debut date of August 19.
The YG side explained, "With a world tour scheduled to begin in August, the members' determination was strong to create a more meaningful 20th anniversary by communicating with fans. Through this channel, BIGBANG will get closer to the hearts of fans under the name BIGBANG."

The first content for communication is the team's new logo motion video. It creatively presented the phrases 'BIGBANG' and '20TH ANNIVERSARY,' raising expectations for the group's journey as they celebrate their 20th anniversary. The backs of three members captured at the Coachella site also drew attention.
BIGBANG announced the beginning of their 20th-anniversary activities at the U.S. '2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' on the 12th and 19th (local time). They showcased the group's hit songs and individual solo stages by each member for about 67 minutes, eliciting a strong response from local audiences. Billboard commented, "They perfectly summoned audiences to the golden age of K-pop," while Forbes hailed BIGBANG as "the emperors of K-pop" and welcomed their return.
Notably, at the performance on the 19th, BIGBANG officially announced that their world tour will begin in August. As this is the first performance under the name BIGBANG since 'LAST DANCE' in 2017, YG Entertainment had already begun preparations early on and stated, "All YG staff will do their utmost to create a perfect performance."
