In other news, Kpopstarz reported that BIGBANG has multiple awards at the recent 2015 MelOn Music Awards. The group won the Netizen Popularity Award, Artist of the Year, Top 10 Award and Song of the Year for "Bang Bang Bang."

EXO, however, won the Album of the Year award for Exodus.

The outlet also reported that the group is eager to renew their contract under YG Entertainment. However, due to their busy schedule, it was said it is getting extremely difficult to plan their schedule for 2016.

It has been rumored that the members of BIGBANG are thinking of leaving YG and becoming free agents. Their agency, however, has used to reveal terms of their agreement, as well as the expiration dates of contracts for each of the artists.

The publication noted that artists tend to negotiate their contracts six months before the agreement expires, in order to give other companies associated to the member time for any needed adjustment.
