In line with the 10th anniversary of its debut, K-pop global sensation Big Bang will appear on the upcoming episode of CNN’s “Talk Asia,” the group’s management company YG Entertainment said Monday.

The weekly program features in-depth conversations with prominent social, political and cultural leaders. It has interviewed individuals such as former Korean ice skater Kim Yun-a, Filipino professional boxer and politician Manny Pacquiao and Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani.

Meanwhile, the five-member act is gearing up for its upcoming Asia tour in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
