Is BIGBANG really making a comeback? Their 20th anniversary official IG just went live, and they’re even following T.O.P — VIPs can’t keep calm!
Our youth is really coming back~
Earlier, BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung reunited on the Coachella stage to perform songs including “HOME SWEET HOME,” “Bad Boy,” and “We Like 2 Party,” closing with their 2022 farewell track, “Still Life.” What moved fans most was that although T.O.P wasn’t there, his vocal parts were still included via the original recording, and the three members onstage ended with a tight embrace. Just as everyone thought their youth could only live on in memory, BIGBANG suddenly launched a new official Instagram account in April 2026. This isn’t an ordinary promotional account; it bears the official “20th Anniversary Official” designation. Its first video looks back on the group’s journey since its 2006 debut, instantly bringing tears to our eyes.

A hidden clue in the following list: Is T.O.P really returning to the group?
What everyone is watching most closely is the “Following” list. The account currently follows only four people: the actively promoting G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung, as well as T.O.P’s personal account. Since T.O.P previously announced his departure from the group, this is the first time an official channel has connected all four members again. The move has sparked intense discussion on social media, with fans speculating over whether the 20th anniversary celebrations will include a collaboration by the full lineup.
For fans who have followed BIGBANG for nearly 20 years, this isn’t simply a group comeback; it symbolizes an era. Some fans see the official account’s decision to follow T.O.P as conveying a sense of reconciliation and shared prosperity, carrying more warmth than simply releasing a new song. In the 2026 K-pop landscape, the return of veteran artists is undoubtedly a much-needed boost.
