YG Entertainment is notorious for a deep sense of comradery among the artists on the label. In fact, the name of their periodic label concert (and affectionate nickname for all the different artists) is the YG Family.
The familial style relationship between the artists appears to be continuing, this time in the form of a song created by Big Bang's G-Dragon that he decided was a better fit for another group - iKON.
Recently, iKON held a special live stream event on Naver's V app in celebration of the release of their full length album "Welcome Back." During the event, iKON extended a special thanks to G-Dragon for giving them the song "I Miss You So Bad" to complete their full album.
After the group explained that G-Dragon had come to their recording session to ask them to try the song, rapper B.I began to express his gratitude for the song.
"It means a lot. We're the first group outside of Big Bang that he's given a song to. He cares about us that much," said B.I (via Soompi).
G-Dragon produced "I Miss You So Bad" alongside DEE.P. He then collaborated with B.I and Bobby on the lyrics. Earlier when the song was first revealed, G-Dragon had stated he believed the song was a better match for them than himself or Big Bang.
"This song is a better match for your guys. It's a debut present," said G-Dragon.
"I Miss You So Bad" is one of four new songs that will be included on iKON's full length album "Welcome Back." The two title tracks for this final phase of the album's release are "What's Wrong" and "Dumb & Dumber," both of which were made into music videos.
iKON's "Welcome Back" album will be released on Dec. 24.
