Big Bang’s Daesung and G-Dragon said they missed music and felt its importance at the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert.

Attending the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert that took place in the Gymnastics Stadium at Olympic Park on December 4 at 7 pm, Daesung said, “I really missed the stage. I just feel so happy to perform on the stage at this concert. I again felt the importance of music and the stage. I’ll always appreciate that I can perform on the stage.”

G-Dragon said, “I apologize for making you worry about me. I promise it won’t happen again. Please understand me, and I’ll repay you with better music.”

T.O.P also said, “I guess it’s been a while that you see all five of us standing on the stage together. It’s meaningful to perform at the 15th Anniversary YG Family Concert, but at the same time, it’s also meaningful that all five of us perform again on the same stage. This year was very hard for Big Bang. I want to say thank you to all of you for greeting us with hearty cheers.”

Daesung has gone through a hard time since his car accident in May. He had time for self-reflection, participating religious activities. G-Dragon also received investigation on suspicion of smoking marijuana. He’s been cleared of the charge and released. However, he also had time for self-reflection, not doing any activities.

The 15th YG Family Concert will be held again in Kyocera Dome Osaka on January 7-8 and in Saitama Super Arena on January 21-22 in 2012.

It’s been confirmed that Big Bang‘s leader, G-Dragon, will perform at the upcoming YG Familyconcert!

According to concert representatives on December 2nd, G-Dragon showed up in the early morning for rehearsal and successfully completed his preparations.

The announcement finally put to rest fans’ anxieties about the concert, as YG Entertainment had been mum about G-Dragon’s appearance due to an unpleasant controversy. In fact, reports are saying that YG seriously debated on the idea of G-Dragon’s participation until very recently.

However, since the YG Family concert is an event where all YG artists come together to successfully wrap up the year, the agency decided to let G-Dragon perform so that he could repay and thank his supportive fans.

G-Dragon’s participation was further backed up by the fact that this year is the ‘15th Anniversary YG Family Concert‘, which will be attended by over 200,000 people from both Korea and Japan. In light of such facts, it seemed unrealistic to leave out one of YG’s top stars from such a big company event.

Now that G-Dragon and Daesung‘s have been confirmed in the YG Family concert line-up, the concert will carry a bigger significance for those fans who’ve been waiting for months to see all five members perform together again. With the exception of Big Bang’s appearance at the ‘2011 MTV EMA‘ show for their ‘Best Worldwide Act’ win, this will be Big Bang’s first time appearing as a complete group.

Get ready VIPs, because GD is back!
