K-pop idol Taeyang of BigBang has his fans in a frenzy after deleting all posts on Twitter and Instagram earlier this week.

The move is rumoured to be part of a digital marketing blitz to build up anticipation for his solo comeback after five years. Singers such as Adele and Beyonce had done the same in the lead-up to their album releases.
