The Korea JoongAng Daily the same day confirmed the news with a K-pop industry insider who asked to remain anonymous.
Last week, local media reported that Taeyang is currently working on a solo album, set to be released in January. At the time, YG Entertainment said that “nothing is confirmed regarding Taeyang’s comeback.”
Taeyang married actor Min Hyo-rin in 2018 and welcomed their first child, a son, late last year. The singer has released a string of hit solo songs over the years, including “Only Look at Me” (2008) and “Eyes, Nose, Lips” (2014).
His last solo release was his third full-length album “White Night” in 2017.
Big Bang as a group last dropped the single “Still Life” earlier this year.
