MANILA, Philippines – Korean pop group Big Bang on Tuesday, March 13, released "Flower Road" – the group's last single before going on hiatus. 

The song, with lyrics written by G-Dragon and T.O.P, features the voices of all 5 members, including Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri.

This is Big Bang's latest song since the group released "Fxxk It," "Last Dance" and "Girlfriend" – the last 3 songs of their MADE album – in December 2016.

The new song was released on the same day Daesung started his mandatory military service.

On Tuesday, Seungri, the only member who has yet to enlist in the military, posted on his Instagram account following the release of "Flower Road."

VIP 팬분들에게 ) 빅뱅의 신곡 #꽃길 이 공개 되었습니다. 활짝 핀 다섯개의 꽃들이 그려진 포스터를 보니 멤버형들을 처음만난 그날부터 지금까지의 많은 기억들이 스쳐 지나갑니다. 오늘 대성이형이 군입대 하였고 이제 마지막 남은 저 역시 올 한해 예정되어있던 스케쥴들을 소화하고 군입대 하여 빅뱅의 공백을 최소화 할 생각입니다 빅뱅 신곡 꽃 길 많이 들어주시고, 가사처럼 저희들도 그자리 그곳에서 여러분들을 기다리고 있겠습니다 언제나 감사하고 사랑합니다 빅뱅 막내 승리가-

According to Soompi, Seungri wrote on his Instagram that he plans to enlist once he has completed his planned schedule for this year "to minimize Big Bang's hiatus."

"Please listen to Big Bang's new song 'Flower Road' a lot. Just like it says in the lyrics, we will be waiting in the same spot for all of you. As always, thank you and I love you," he added. – Rappler.com
