Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) has announced its latest batch of official certifications!

On June 8, Circle Chart announced that SEVENTEEN had received their first-ever quadruple million certification for their latest mini album “FML,” which sold over 4 million copies.

SEVENTEEN also earned a separate double platinum certification for the Weverse version of “FML,” which sold over 500,000 copies.

Meanwhile, IVE’s first full-length album “I’ve IVE” became their second album to earn an official million certification after selling over a million copies, and BTSSuga received his first million certification as a solo artist for his recent album “D-DAY.”

NCT DOJAEJUNG’s unit debut mini album “Perfume” and NMIXX’s debut single album “AD MARE” were both certified double platinum after selling over 500,000 copies each.

Finally, in the streaming category, BIGBANG’s “Still Life,” BIG Naughty’s “Beyond Love” (featuring 10cm), Homies’ “Siren Remix” (featuring UNEDUCATED KID and Paul Blanco) were all certified platinum after surpassing 100 million streams each.

Congratulations to all of the artists!

YG Entertainment has made a statement regarding BIGBANG’s G-Dragon’s contract with them.

On June 6, YG Entertainment announced, “G-Dragon’s exclusive contract with us has expired but we are collaborating with him through a separate contract for his other activities such as advertisement, etc.”

YG Entertainment added, “There will be discussions regarding additional contracts if he resumes his music activities. We will spare no effort to provide support for this.”

Previously, speculations began to arise among fans that G-Dragon did not renew his contract with the agency after noticing his name wasn’t on the list of artists and actors under YG Entertainment as of March 31 according to a quarterly report released by YG Entertainment in April.

Back in January, G-Dragon announced through his official YouTube channel he was gearing up for a new album. Later in March, he also teased that he’s currently preparing for a project and that several things are underway.

Fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesungparted ways with YG Entertainment following the expiration of their contracts with the agency in December 2022. Afterward, Taeyang joined THEBLACKLABEL while Daesung signed with R&D Company under D-LABLE, a dedicated team for Daesung.

Meanwhile, T.O.Pleft YG Entertainment in February 2022. At the time, the agency explained that T.O.P would continue to partake in BIGBANG’s group activities when he is able to. However, just a few days ago, T.O.P took to Instagram to personally announce he has withdrawn from BIGBANG.

T.O.P elaborated, “I’ve already told you guys that I’m leaving and I’m now facing a new chapter in my life since last year.”

Another fan commented to ask whether it was true that he was coming back and T.O.P clarified, “solo.”

Last February, T.O.P parted ways with YG Entertainment after 16 years. At the time, the agency explained that T.O.P would continue to partake in BIGBANG’s group activities when he is able to, beginning with their last comeback with “Still Life.”

In December, it was confirmed that T.O.P will be participating as one of eight crew members for the dearMoon Project, SpaceX’s lunar tourism project.
