GD&TOP, a subunit of South Korean boy band Big Bang, will release a two-track album next month to cap off the band's four-month project of releasing two new tracks each month, its management agency said Friday.

"E" is the fourth and final installment in the "MADE" series, a project in which the five-member group drops a new release on the first day of each month starting in May, YG Entertainment said.

The title track is "Jjeoreo," which is Korean slang meaning "freaking awesome."

The poster for the track was posted on YG's official blog (www.yg-life.com) earlier Friday. In it, a red-haired G-Dragon clad in a blue track suit and a blonde T.O.P (sic) in a yellow track suit appear to be urinating in public, with their backs to the camera.

Previous releases in the series -- "M," "A," and "D" -- were also named using letters that spell out the word "made." Each contains two tracks, and all six songs have topped South Korean music charts almost immediately upon release, according to YG.

The completion of the word "made" with the upcoming album will herald the comeback of GD&TOP after five years since the duo's first album was released in December 2010.

Big Bang, meanwhile, is scheduled to continue its world tour with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from Friday to Saturday; Manila in the Philippines next Thursday; and Jakarta, Indonesia next Saturday.(Yonhap)
