BIGBANG's Daesung Roars Back with Trot Hit 'Out of Limit'

Daesung's rich and refreshing voice is echoing through the music industry with the hit song 'Out of Limit'!

Known for his powerhouse vocals during his BIGBANG days, Daesung has once again thrown his hat into the ring with a trot song, and his courage is making waves on the charts. He's even broken the common notion that winters are for ballads. The former BIGBANG member is making a 'Daesung' (great success) as a solo artist, embarking on a new journey.

'Out of Limit' is a trot single released by Daesung on the 10th. This marks his return to trot after his 2008 hit 'Look at Me, Gwisun' and 2009's 'What a Big Deal!', his first trot song in 16 years. He bravely took on this challenge with the aim of connecting with his fans.

The song boasts a pleasant melody and catchy lyrics. The clever blend of lyrics about exceeding a credit card limit due to insufficient balance with a man overflowing with love is both fun and exciting.

Upon its release, 'Out of Limit' immediately hit number one on Melon's adult contemporary music chart, ranking alongside Im Young-woong at the top. Despite being released less than five days ago, the music video has garnered nearly 5 million views.

Notably, the music video, which begins with Daesung in a state of confusion as his card is declined during a blind date with TWICE's Sana, showcases a remarkable narrative arc. The choreography, featuring Daesung's signature bright smile and card-swiping motion, is a key point drawing fans in.

This is a perfect transformation and a testament to his presence as an idol-turned-artist. Daesung's established identity as a trot singer has once again resonated with the public. Even in an era of strong trot singers, Daesung has impressively surpassed singers who debuted through auditions. This is one of the rare cases where a song alone has dominated the charts without an audition.

The collaboration with G-Dragon and Kush, who produced his hit 'Look at Me, Gwisun', further elevates the song's quality, underscoring Daesung's established trot identity.

The positive message, 'Although I have no money, my love is out of limit,' combined with Daesung's familiar charm, has a high potential to become a hit song that transcends generations. It's easy for people of all ages to listen to and sing along, making it perfect for lively karaoke sessions and company dinners.

In addition to the title track, the new single 'Out of Limit' features three tracks: the synth-rock based 'A Rose', and the emotional ballad 'Seems I Suit Being Alone'. This album is a gift, allowing listeners to experience Daesung's wide musical spectrum, from trot to ballads and rock, all at once.

Daesung, who has showcased his broad musical spectrum as a singer and also demonstrated his talent in variety shows, is set to continue his momentum by holding 'Daesung 2025 Asia Tour D’s WAVE Encore Seoul' from January 2nd to 4th at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium next year. His new leap as a solo artist has already exceeded expectations from the start.

Korean netizens are expressing their excitement, with comments like 'Daesung's trot is the best!' and 'His voice is so refreshing, it's addictive.' Many are praising his courage in returning to trot after so long and his ability to deliver a song that appeals to all generations.
