It seems like December is the month of BIG BANG. Along with the release of their third full-length album titled "MADE," the five-member group is slated to take on multiple entertainment shows in December.
"Big Bang will appear on multiple variety shows," local newsoutlet Star News quoted a source from YG Entertainment as saying, as cited by The Kpop Herald. "We cannot make public which shows they are invited to, but some of them will feature all five members."
Further, BIG BANG is currently prepping for their upcoming "BIGBANG10 The Concert 0.to.10 Final" concert. The event will take place at the Gocheok SkyDome in Seoul, South Korea on Jan. 7-8, 2017.
It will most likely be BIG BANG's last appearance as a group before rapper T.O.P, 28, leaves to fulfill his two-year military service on Feb. 9, 2017. He will first receive basic training in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province for four weeks and is expected to continue his service as part of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's guard band unit.
T.O.P will complete all of his professional obligations first before the conscription date and would come back to the music spotlight once his enlistment is through. He is the first among the five BIG BANG members to enter the military. It is believed G-Dragon and Taeyang will enlist in late 2017 and will be followed by Daesung and Seungri in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
"Big Bang's oldest member T.O.P will enlist first, and then other members will follow one by one," a representative from YG Entertainment said in a statement obtained by All Kpop, dismissing previous reports claiming BIG BANG plan to enlist at the same time. "In fact, G-Dragon and Taeyang are preparing solo albums for next year."
Meanwhile, T.O.P will be seen sharing screen space with Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung and Michael Trevino in the upcoming film "Out of Control." The German-Chinese thriller film follows a Chinese film actress (Cheung) who is caught by a hazardous plot while heading off the Berlin Film Festival. Her survival depends on a top Korean Interpol agent, Tom Young (T.O.P), who happens to be her ex-fiancé.
