YG Entertainment explained its recent 'reverse' strategy for promoting Big Bang member Taeyang's new album, saying it is aimed at prolonging the singer's activities for his new solo album for as long as possible.
Taeyang released digital single "Where U At" from his upcoming first regular album in mid-October and will promote "Wedding Dress", released today, till the end of the year, but neither songs are the title track for the album.
"Taeyang had requested he be able to promote his album for as long as he can so that was our focus this time," said Yang.
The producer went onto explain that his agency therefore decided to carry out "reverse promotion" -- promoting songs apart from the title song first, and then unveiling the title song along with the entire album.
His recent digital single "Where U At" peaked at No. 6 on Korea's Mnet Singles Chart last month and his full-length album is set for release early next year.
