Bigbang returns with chart-topping ‘Loser’

POPULAR South Korean boy band Bigbang is back on the music scene after a three-year hiatus, with a new single delving into the stresses of daily life.

The track, entitled “Loser,” has dominated South Korea’s online music charts since its release on May 1 and its video has seen more than 12 million hits on YouTube. It has also ranked top on the iTunes single charts of Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Taiwan.

The quintet had taken time off while band members focused on their solo careers. They hope to release a new album in September.

“Society is very competitive. I think the word ‘loser’ can explain many problems from competition and many people are struggling to survive,” band member Taeyang said. “It is comforting that we are singing on their behalf and that is why people love this song.”
