Recent reports of other idol agencies postponing debuts and comebacks because of Big Bang’s upcoming return have left music fans wondering if there would be anyone left to rival Big Bang during their promotions.

There’s a big possibility that they’ll be alone this time, as most of the male groups will be heading to Japan and other countries by the end of February. Aside from CNBLUE, Big Bang will not be pitted against any major boy groups for the time being.

Instead, they’re expected to face off against the female solo artists and groups who have been dominating the music charts for quite some time now, such as IU, G.NA, and SECRET.

Before the boys head off to Japan themselves this May, they’ll have about two to three months to promote their mini-album, which overlaps with a lot of the big girl group comebacks. March will see the return of the Brown Eyed Girls, After School, and 4minute, as well as f(x) sometime after.

If the battle ends up being one of gender, industry representatives believe that it will actually give a positive result. Instead of rivalry, each team can instead focus on and cater to their specific genres, allowing them to secure a piece of their own pie during the overlapping promotion cycles.

Earlier reports of SBS holding an extravagant one-hour comeback special for Big Bang left many wondering about how the group’s special relationship with SBS would impact their promotions on the other two public broadcast networks, MBC and KBS.

On February 21st, Kim Sang Ho PD of KBS’s “Music Bank” addressed these concerns through Newsen: “We haven’t discussed anything regarding Big Bang’s comeback stage yet. ‘Music Bank’ cannot provide something as extravagant like SBS, but if Big Bang is willing to perform fairly with the other artists, we can provide a stage for them.”

The ‘fairness’ that KBS mentioned was explained to mean that they would be given the standard two-track comeback stage of their contemporaries; the group must be willing to accept that KBS’s stage won’t be as extravagant as the one that SBS is planning.

On February 22nd, a representative of YG Entertainment revealed through Money Today Star News, “On tonight’s broadcast of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart’, Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Seungri will make their guest appearance. During the show’s ending, a part of Big Bang’s new song will be revealed for the first time.”

According to the representative, the song to be revealed will be their first track, “Intro“. As Big Bang is known to put considerable effort into their intro tracks, fans are highly-anticipative of what their latest intro would sound like.

Meanwhile, Big Bang will release their long-awaited comeback album on the 24th, which has a total of six tracks. This will be their first collective comeback effort in two years and three months. In addition, Big Bang will hold their “Big Show” concert from the 25th to the 27th to officially greet their fans.
