Taeyang 'Live Fast Die Slow' by Alex Gargot

Rob Ulitski - 21st May 2026

Renowned K-Pop idol (and lead vocalist of BIGBANG) Taeyang returns with Live Fast Die Slow, and a thrilling promo directed by Alex Gargot. 

The song is the first release from Taeyang's highly anticipated solo album Quintessence, and the Gargot-directed video is an exhilarating combination of conceptual vignettes, abstract composition and breathless choreography, filmed across Barcelona. 

With masterful direction from Gargot, blended together by a pulsating edit, it's a visual that feels universally appealing, whilst still capturing the magic of Taeyang's legendary work and videography with BIGBANG. A rousing comeback and return to the spotlight for the artist. 

"Collaborating with Taeyang on this music video allowed us to push visual boundaries to match the raw energy of the track," explains Gargot.

"Filming in Barcelona, we wanted to capture that paradoxical balance between burning defiance and grounded focus. Taeyang brings an incredible, commanding presence to the screen.”
