THE second documentary film by iconic K-pop act BigBang will start to hit YouTube next week in the run-up to the release of new music by the boy band, their agency has announced. The first episode of the eight-part documentary, “White Night,” will hit BigBang’s official YouTube channel May 18. The rest of the shows will be released every Thursday and Monday for the following four weeks, according to YG Entertainment. The documentary, featuring Taeyang, BigBang’s main vocalist, comes after the group’s first edition, “Kwon Ji Yong Act lll: M.O.T.T.E,” featuring member G-Dragon, proved popular among fans in 2018. “White Night,” named after Taeyang’s namesake solo album from 2017, follows the artist on a 215-day journey, spanning from preparations for the album up till his enlistment in March 2018. The period also includes his marriage to actress Min Hyo-rin. “The film unfolds the true story of Taeyang as Dong Young-bae, who struggles to find his own value system and identity,” YG said, referring to the artist’s birth name. The release of the documentary comes ahead of the first new BigBang music release in years, with the four band members having completed their mandatory military service. Members Taeyang and Daesung completed their service in November while the other two — G-Dragon and T.O.P — were cleared of the duty earlier in 2019. (SD-Agencies) |
