Taeyang, a member of the boy group BIGBANG, shared his thoughts on his comeback.

On the afternoon of the 18th, a listening event was held at the Cube Convention Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of Taeyang's fourth full-length album 'Quintessence' (QUINTESSENCE).

That day, Taeyang introduced his recent activities, saying, "I've been incredibly busy this year. I was extremely busy preparing for the Coachella stage and, at the same time, finishing the album. I haven't been able to rest for almost a single day since then."

Taeyang continued, "Before releasing an album, various emotions arise and many feelings are exchanged, but I feel happier than ever before. I am happy to be able to give a gift to my fans on my birthday today. I feel relieved that an album prepared over the course of a year is finally being released to the world," he said with a smile.

He also revealed the reason why he continues to make new attempts despite celebrating his 20th debut anniversary this year. Taeyang said, "This year is an important milestone marking 20 years since my debut. When I started working on the new album, the most important thing I focused on was what it means to be most authentic while being new. After 20 years of creating music and engaging in activities, challenging something new itself has been difficult. Nevertheless, I wondered what new things I could do by now. All my thoughts and attempts are contained in this album."

Taeyang's fourth full-length album 'Quintessence' will be released at 6 p.m. on the 18th via various online music platforms.
