YG ENTERTAINMENT has released its roadmap for 2026. Today (the 4th), YG ENTERTAINMENT posted '2026 YG PLAN | YG ANNOUNCEMENT' on its official blog. After about six months since last August, chief producer Yang Hyun-suk participated in an interview to announce YG's news for this year. Yang Hyun-suk revealed, 'We have agreed to hold performances with the members of BIGBANG. We declare that a global tour will begin.' Prior to this, BIGBANG is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and has hinted at resuming activities, attracting attention from music fans worldwide. He also stated, 'Since we have been active together for a long time, I don't think there will be any difficulties,' and conveyed that 'all YG staff will do their best to create a perfect and wonderful performance.' BABYMONSTER is set to release a mini-album in May and a second full album this autumn. Yang Hyun-suk introduced, 'The title track of the mini-album is 'CHOOM.' The font written in Korean, '춤 (dance),' looks very cool. It has an Eastern vibe, as if a person is dancing with arms wide open.' Starting in June, a second world tour will take place, extending to South America, Europe, and Oceania. TREASURE will release a mini-album in June. Yang Hyun-suk expressed confidence, saying, 'The members suddenly visited and said they wanted to do hip-hop, which surprised me. If you look at this album, you will be surprised that TREASURE can do this kind of music. Expect cool and YG-like music that has never been showcased before.' Finally, Yang Hyun-suk stated, 'YG will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. Rather than conveying special feelings, I want to say that we will continue to create music diligently without forgetting our original intentions until the 40th and 50th anniversaries. We have done our best for the active activities of BABYMONSTER and TREASURE since last year. We will polish the results to shine even more and deliver happy news throughout the year.' He also mentioned that the new group YG had announced last year is starting to take shape. Through subtitles, he explained, 'We are preparing a new boy group aiming for autumn,' and 'Following Iberi and Changya, we will soon reveal the remaining two members of the four-member girl group NEXT MONSTER (tentative name).'
