A 335-meter underground passage connecting Euljiro 1-ga and City Hall stations officially reopened as K-Culture Station, launching with "COSMOS," an immersive media exhibition marking BIGBANG's 20th anniversary.
BIGBANG launched its 20th-anniversary world tour, BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR "XX : COSMOS," which will begin in Korea and continue across North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia with 33 shows in 19 cities.

Taeyang (lead singer of BIGBANG) released Quintessence, his fourth solo studio album and first full-length release since 2017; the record dropped on his birthday and was preceded by a press showcase at the Cube Convention Center in Seoul.
BIGBANG returned to the stage as a full group for the first time in nine years, closing Coachella's Outdoor Theatre stage in Indio, California with a 50-minute set of hits including "Bang Bang Bang," "Fantastic Baby" and "Loser."
BIGBANG is beginning what it calls a 20th anniversary celebration, marked by its Coachella appearances and framed as a symbolic stage marking another beginning.
Although G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung are currently signed to different agencies, they plan to reunite under the BIGBANG name for the planned performances with YG.
The JusPeace Foundation was established and G-Dragon serves as its honorary chair; the nonprofit was created to address social issues through art and creativity and launched related public-interest initiatives.
