The YG official explained, “BIGBANG members are so sorry for fans about not performing in the end-of-year music awards. However, they opted for concentrating on preparation for ‘MADE’ full-length album, to keep their promise to fans. The members are now working so hard on the new album day and night without any weekend’s rest, to present high-quality album to fans as soon as possible”.
