It was also discovered that Se7en’s highly anticipated new album was originally scheduled to be released in November of this year but circumstances led to pushing the comeback date back to January of 2012.
Mainly due to Se7en being busy with his new chicken restaurant and his Japanese album work being done in Korea, it was decided that it would be best to push back the date allowing him to have some space to breathe before his comeback.
While being away from the Kpop scene for a year, Se7en recently made an appearance at the ‘2011 Hallyu Dream Concert’. On that day he performed his hits such as ‘Better Together’ and ‘Digital Bounce’ with an energy and charisma never seen before.
Let’s all wait a few more months and wish the best for Se7en’s upcoming promotions!

He first tweeted to Rain, “Jihoon-hyung~ I love u~~!!!! Thank u sooooo much~~!!! PS… If it really rains.. you’ll have to take the blame~~~!!! ^^“. Rain had sent a congratulatory flower stand with the amusing message, “On opening day, ‘rain’ should come!”
He then tweeted to BoA, “BoA sunbae-nim!!! Thank you~ I’ll work harder ^^ Thank you sooo much ma sis~“. BoA’s flower stand came with the message, “From sunbae BoA who debuted 11 years ago. Finally, Yeolbong chicken!” Finally, he tweeted to his fellow label mates, “BIGBANG & 2NE1 I love u all~~~^^“, with the below photos. They had also sent congratulatory flower stands with the messages, “BIG BANG. We’re Yeolbong VIP!!“, and “2NE1 YG.ent. Yeolbong is the best!”
Fans left comments such as, “Congratulations!”, “I’ll have to come try it!“, and “Rain are you really going to take responsibility if it rains?”

Following Big Bang’s contract renewal earlier this month, labelmate Se7en has also extended his contract for another two years with YG Entertainment.
This is the second time Se7en has renewed his contract under the agency, as he had done the same back in 2006 without a deposit.
Yang Hyun Suk emphasized, “We’re a family. As hard as it is to enter YG Entertainment, once you get in, we do our best until the end. I am extremely thankful to both Se7en and Big Bang for choosing us once again.”
The producer went on to reveal that he had told the members time and time again to speak up whenever they had any problems either with their careers or their personal lives. The members would often go to him with a collected opinion and he would work his best to accommodate them.
Se7en’s decision for renewing, however, is to “set ablaze the last moment of his youth with YG before he enters the military.” Yang went on to say, “For Se7en, we have a lot of projects lined up, like international promotions and movie appearances.”
He emphasized again, “My opinion also remains the same on not allowing my artists onto music programs and concerts that are not capable of satisfying or bringing out the talent of my artists. This opinion will never change.”
Big Bang and Se7en also renewed their contracts for the staff members that they had grown up working with. From top composers like Teddy, to video managers and stylists, they revealed that they were more than satisfied with working with the best of the best of the industry.
After celebrating his 8th career anniversary back on March 22nd, Se7en has decided that he will be touring overseas to meet with his fans.

I promise that I will make better music and show you better stages in the future. I want to thank everyone who has congratulated me. I love you all.”
Se7en continued, “A beautiful 8th Anniversary cake that fans made for me. Thank you so much! Even though I took a picture with my ps. 7 pose, because I’m getting older this seems a bit…”
