[Sports Seoul | Reporter Yoon Dong-eon] G-Dragon publicly showed support for his close friend and BIGBANG bandmate Taeyang\u2019s fourth full-length album, QUINTESSENCE. <\/p>\n

On the 6th, G-Dragon used the Stories feature on his social media account to share Taeyang\u2019s trailer video and photo posts, helping promote the release. <\/p>\n

‘QUINTESSENCE’ is Taeyang\u2019s first full-length album in nearly nine years, following his third studio album, ‘WHITE NIGHT,’ released in August 2017. The new record is expected to reaffirm his musical range and presence as a solo artist. <\/p>\n
