Daesung, one-fifth of K-pop supergroup Big Bang, is embarking on an exciting new chapter in his career. With the group now a trio following TOP and Seungri’s departures and all remaining members leaving longtime label YG Entertainment, Big Bang seems to be in the past for now. While fans eagerly await solo projects from Taeyang and G-Dragon, Daesung has made a strong return with his solo endeavors, which are highlighted by his recent solo fan concert in Seoul.
