Big Bang (Korean: 빅뱅; commonly stylized as BIGBANG) is a South Korean group formed by YG Entertainment in 2006. The group consists of G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P, Daesung and Seungri.

Big Bang have released several successful singles and EPs. Their first release, the EP Always (2007), spawned the number-one single "Lies" (Korean: 거짓말; Revised Romanization: Geojitmal). The follow-up EPs Hot Issue and Stand Up were similarly successful.[2] After they received the "Artist of the Year" award from the M.net KM Music Festival and the Seoul Gayo Daesang Award, the group expanded their activities into Japan, releasing mini-albums and airplay singles. Their materials did not receive major promotion until the following year with the release of their first physical Japanese single, "My Heaven". Since then, the group has attained considerable success in the country.

They became the first foreign group in Japan to receive the Japan Cable Broadcasting Award for "Best Newcomer", and the first from Korea to receive the Japan Records award.[3] In recent years, the members have branched out to do solo activities: Taeyang and G-Dragon have released solo materials while T.O.P, Daesung and Seungri have started acting(in both dramas and musicals) and participating in variety programs.

Representing Asia-Pacific, Big Bang emerged as the inaugural Best Worldwide Act winner of 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA) held at Belfast, Northern Ireland.[4] There, apart from Queen, Big Bang was the only winner not from North America.

Fans of Big Bang are known officially as VIPs, after their single "V.I.P".

History

2005–06: Debut

Before the group's debut, several members already had exposure in the entertainment industry. Leader G-Dragon and main vocalist Taeyang were signed with YG Entertainment since they were both 12 years old (13 years old in Korean Age), known as GD and YB.[5] T.O.P was an underground rapper[6] under the stage name Tempo. Big Bang made their debut on August 19, 2006 at the Gymnastics Arena in Seoul Olympic Park during the YG Family concert.[7]

Following the performance, the group's first single, "Bigbang", was released. It contained the songs "We Belong Together," featuring labelmate Park Bom; "A Fool of Tears" (Korean: 눈물뿐인 바보; Revised Romanization: Nunmulppunin Babo); and "This Love", an adaptation of the American rock band Maroon 5 song, rewritten and performed by G Dragon.[8] The single went on to sell nearly 40,000 copies.[9] The second single, "BigBang Is V.I.P", was released in September, eventually topping 32,000 copies sold.[9] The last single, "Bigbang 03", followed, with final sales nearing 40,000 copies.[9] At the end of December 2006, Big Bang held their first concert, The Real. The following month, their debut album, Since 2007, was released, selling 48,009 copies by the end of February 2007.[9]

2007–08: Breakthrough success and Japanese debut

Big Bang at MTV Fast Forward, Thailand, December 2007

On February 8, 2007, Big Bang released their live concert album, The First / Real Live Concert, which sold 30,000 copies by the end of the year.[10] The group also began their Want You tour, visiting five cities: Incheon, Daegu, Changwon, Jeonju and Busan.[11] Their first mini-album, Always, was also released in 2007, and marked several changes for the group. Though previously already writing and composing, the group has decided to take more control over their music. G-Dragon composed and wrote most of the tracks included in their first mini album release including the title single, "Lies" (Korean: 거짓말; Revised Romanization: Geojitmal).[12] The mini-album also saw the introduction of electronic music for Big Bang. Receptions were fairly positive, most notably in regards to the song "Lies", which critics described as "through the roof".[13] Released as the lead single, it became their first No. 1 hit; the album itself sold 87,000 copies.[12] Their second mini album, Hot Issue, released that same year, followed its predecessor's success: the lead-single, "Last Farewell", (Korean: 마지막 인사; Revised Romanization: Majimak Insa) topped various charts, including the Juke-On's chart for eight consecutive weeks.[14] It also won the "Song of the Month Digital Music Award" from Cyworld. Tickets for their Big Bang Is Great concert were also reportedly sold out in 10 minutes.[15][16]

"Lies" (2007)
Big Bang took a new direction with the release of their song "Lies" by incorporating electronic music into their style. The song eventually became their break-out hit.
"Haru Haru" (2008)
"Haru Haru", which continued the group's experimentation with electronic, went on to become one of their strongest singles, topping the charts for six consecutive weeks.[17]

Near the end of 2007, it was reported that members of the band were hospitalized from over-performing and exhaustion,[18] halting their promotional activities. Reports were later released that Big Bang's albums and singles were in high demand, causing the record company to reprint and repackage them for re-release.[19] Riding on the success of their mini-album, the group collected numerous awards towards the end of the year, including "Best Male Group" and "Song Of The Year" from the 2007 M.NET/KM Music Festival.[20] They later received the "Artist of the Year" award from the 17th Seoul Music Awards.[21] The group earned a total of ₩12 billion (USD$10.6 million) at the end of the year.[22]

As 2007 came to a close, Big Bang ventured overseas to Japan. Their first Japanese EP, For the World, released in early 2008,[23] charted at No. 10 on the Oricon chart with little promotion.[24] The group also held a concert at the JCB Hall in Tokyo Dome City. Big Bang returned to Korea after promotions in Japan ended. Although group activities were delayed due to solo projects, their third mini-album of 2008, Stand Up, was released. Featuring Daishi Dance and the Korean rock-band No Brain, Stand Up exceeded the 100,000 mark in sales. "Day By Day" (Korean: 하루하루; Revised Romanization: Haru Haru), the lead single, topped several online charts and held the No. 1 position for six consecutive weeks.[17] Following the lead single's success, other songs also charted within the Top 20, with "Heaven" reaching #2, "Oh My Friend" hitting #9, "A Good Man" at #12, and "Lady" peaking at No. 16 – a total of five songs in the Top 20 for the group.[25]

During the release of their Korean materials, Big Bang released the Japanese song, "Number 1", from their album of the same name, performing the song on Japanese radio programs and TV shows; the album peaked at number-three on the Japan's Oricon daily album chart. Their Korean follow-up album, Remember, also released in 2008, yielded the No. 1 single, "Sunset Glow" (Korean: 붉은노을; Revised Romanization: Byulkeun Noeul). "Strong Baby", performed solely by Seungri, was released as the second single. The album went on to sell over 200,000 copies.[25] Big Bang received their second "Artist of the Year" award from the 2008 M.NET KM Music Festival award ceremony.[26] At the end of 2008, it was reported that Big Bang earned a total of ₩36 billion (USD$24.5 million).[22]

2009–2010: Solo activities

Big Bang's promotionals for LG's phone Lollipop Part 2

With the group on break in early 2009, the members pursued solo activities. They later reunited to collaborate with their label's new girl group 2NE1, who had been dubbed "The Female Big Bang",[27] for the song "Lollipop". A music video was also filmed for promotion. Initially used to promote a cell phone, "Lollipop" reached the number one spot on various online charts.[28] Their first self-titled full-length Japanese album was released under Universal Music in August 2009 and was promoted with two singles: "My Heaven" and "Gara Gara Go!!" (ガラガラ GO!!).[29][30] "My Heaven", a Japanese translation of their Korean single, "Heaven", (Korean: 천국; Revised Romanization: Cheonguk) from Stand Up, was composed by Japanese composer Daishi Dance,[11] and debuted at No. 3 on the Oricon Chart.[31] "Gara Gara Go!" charted at #5.[32] The album itself peaked at #3.[32] After their return to Korea, the members went back to their solo activities. On August 18, G-Dragon released his debut album, Heartbreaker, promoting it with the album's title track.[33] Taeyang released two digital singles, "Where U At?" and "Wedding Dress", to promote his second album released in 2010.[34] T.O.P joined the cast of the Korean thriller drama Iris, playing the assassin Vick.[35] They later reunited to record the song "Koe o Kikasete" (声をきかせて, Let Me Hear Your Voice) for the Japanese drama Ohitorisama (おひとりさま, One Person).[11][36][37] The song was later released as a single, peaking at #4.[38]

For several days in January 2010, Big Bang performed their 2010 Big Bang Concert Big Show[39] in the Seoul Olympic Stadium.[40] The following month, they embarked on their Electric Love tour in Japan.[41] Although no official albums were recorded, 2010 saw the release of several singles for the group with promotional ties. The release of "Lollipop Part 2" in February, the follow-up to their single, "Lollipop", with 2NE1, was used to coincide with promotions for LG Cyon's Lollipop phone.[42] and also reached number one on digital charts.[43] Their next single, "Tell Me Goodbye" was recorded for the Japanese re-release of Korean drama Iris.[44] The song proved to be popular gaining favorable reviews,[44] winning the Best Song Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.[45] Additionally, tying in with the 2010 World Cup, the group released the song "Shout of the Reds" featuring the Korean rock band, Transfixion and ice skater Kim Yu-na.[46]

For most of the year, the members individually promoted their own solo works and solo activities,[47] including the release of the GD & TOP. unit with their collaboration album and the release of Seungri's first mini album titled "VVIP."[48] Big Bang also won several notable awards, including the Best 5 New Artists award from the 24th Japan Gold Disc Awards[49] as well as the Best New Artist.[50] Near the end of May, the group received the awards for 'Best Pop Video' and 'Best New Artist" from the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2010.[51] They released their latest Japanese single "Beautiful Hangover" on August 25, 2010.[52]

2011: Tonight and MTV EMA

After nearly two year hiatus as a full group, Big Bang returned to South Korea with their 2011 Big Show concert.[53] They also showcased songs from their latest EP Tonight,[54] which went on to become a chart-topper upon its release on many Korean music chart.[55] The album also became the first K-pop album to reach the top 10 on US iTunes chart and is the only non-English language album in the top 100.[56] The album had a pre-sale order of 10,000 copies in Cyworld, beating the record set by TVXQ's 6,500 copies back in 2008.[57] Overall reception for the EP has been positive, with Choi Jun of Asiae complimenting the group's new direction in their music, acknowledging that during the two years hiatus, the group's "style and musical sensibility [had] deepened."[58] Seven days after the album's release, it was reported that Big Bang had already earned ₩7 billion (USD$6.2 million).[59] In a week, 100,000 album copies were sold.[60] Its lead-single of the name became a chart-topper on the Gaon Chart.[61] The second single, "Love Song", also proved to be favorable; the music video on YouTube gained 2 million views within two days.[62] The group kicked off their Love & Hope Tour in May.[63]

On August 2011, the members of Big Bang, with the exception of Daesung travelled to New Zealand to shoot their promotional commercial for North Face. They also released a song dedicated to that.[64]

Big Bang won the MTV EMA 2011 Best Worldwide Act Award as representatives of Asia-Pacific.

Musical styles

During the early days of their career, Big Bang's music was predominately hip hop, although they incorporated R&B songs into their albums as well. A writer for Yahoo! Japan once compared their early materials to that of American hip-hop artists such as the Black-Eyed Peas, stating that their material included "catchy vocals, [...] rap and characters".[86] Always was noted for its change of musical styles from their previous efforts, with the group experimenting with electronic music and setting it as the new music trend in Korea.[87] G-Dragon later stated that they hoped "to reach even more fans" with the new direction.[88] In 2008, they recorded "Oh My Friend", a rock-based song, with the Korean rock-band No Brain.[89] In an interview, the group also expressed interests in covering the music genre trot.[90]

"La La La" (2006)
One of their earliest singles released, "La La La" is primarily a hip-hop song.
"Oh My Friend" (2008)
Although their roots are tied with hip-hop music, Big Bang recorded the rock based song "Oh My Friend" with the rock group No Brain.

Members of the band have branched out to other styles for solo projects, thus the group has been described as "rich in variety" for their fans.[86] Taeyang's mini-album, Hot, was mainly a collection of R&B songs, with the singer stating that the genre was his "main focus".[91] Daesung's first digital single, "Look at Me, GwiSun" (Korean: 날 봐, 귀순), was a trot song, which drew criticisms due to Big Bang's image as "hip-hop artists".[92] For his debut album, Heartbreaker, G-Dragon incorporated a mix of dance, hip-hop, and R&B songs.[93]

Following the release of Always, G-Dragon began involving himself with the production of the group's materials,[13] penning the lyrics and composing the songs "Lies", "Last Farewell", and "Haru Haru". His involvement was praised by the Korea Times, who described him as a "genius singer-songwriter".[94] G-Dragon himself described the group as "an idol group not born of talent but through effort".[95] A writer for Yahoo! Japan complimented the group for their involvement in their work, stating that "perhaps by [each of the members'] contributing to their own materials, not only do they become in sync with one another, but each person's personality stands out."[86]

Big Bang is often choreographed by Shaun Evaristo.[96] While they once relied heavily on street dancing for their moves, Big Bang have made a transition towards more choreography. Their dance moves have been widely copied and covered. One of the moves, which incorporates the group lifting their shirts to expose their abdomens, quickly gained popularity online and became one of the top searches on the internet.[97] Another one, in which the group incorporates the idea of "jump roping" as a dance move, also gained attention from fans.[98]

Their latest album ALIVE has been noted for its different variety of musical styles involved. Fantastic Baby has a strong electropop tune to it, Aint No Fun is a mixture of 90s euro trance and disco, Wings has elements of trot and rock while the first title song, Blue is defined as "electronic ballad which starts off with soft piano and acoustic guitar that blends very well together".[99]

Image and cultural impact

Big Bang has received both praise and criticism. Time magazine described them as one of the "most promising" South Korean acts to venture into Japan,[11] while the Korea Times called them "the icons of Korean pop [music]".[94] Bill Lamb of About.com also list them as one of the "top 10 Asian boy bands".[100] Their contribution to their materials early in their career, most notably by G-Dragon, has garnered praises; singer Baek Jiyoung has state that she "like[s] idol singers if they are like Big Bang".[101] However, the group has been criticized for their over-use of electronic music in their materials.[102]

On July 2010, the group humbly had the honor of being awarded the “Global Unity Award” at the United Nations Asia Pacific Global Tolerance with Music 2010 that was held in Osaka Universal Studios Japan for a charity concert they held in the Spring to raise a donation fund for Haiti. The message on the award quoted:

No time is more appropriate and important than now for the recognition of remarkable endeavor by BIGBANG to support the Haiti Rehabilitation efforts. The Republic of Haiti was struck by a major earthquake on January 12, 2010. BIGBANG made a heart-full donations raised at their concerts in this spring. Such outstanding contributions show great tolerance and promote Unity of the humanity around the world. In recognition of our outstanding services, I would like to present the Global Unity Awards to BIGBANG on behalf of the Friends of the United Nations. -Dr. Noel J. Brown

Other people that have received this award include Alanis Morissette and Rudy Giuliani.

Citing the longest-running boy band in South Korea, Shinhwa as their influence and role model,[103] Big Bang's own influence extends beyond the music industry, shaping major trends in the fashion industry.[2] Dubbed as "Big Bang fashion", their style has gained a following throughout Asia.[6] The group first adopted the "hip-hop" image concept for their debut. The release of Always in 2007 was accompanied by a change in image, with the group leaning towards a more preppy-punk style, including skinny jeans with Converse or high-top sneakers which became a still ongoing trend in South Korea. Taeyang also traded his cornrows for a faux hawk.[104] Seen wearing brands such as Bape, 10 deep, Louis Vuitton, Jeremy Scott, and Phenomenon, Big Bang also wear custom printed hoodies for many of their performances and music videos.[6] They were also credited for bringing back "old school" fashion into the mainstream, such as Nike and Reebok high-top shoes.[105] Described as the "most fashionable" one in the group,[106] G-Dragon is known to sport triangular scarves that were later nicknamed "Big Bang scarves".[6] T.O.P also gained a following for wearing sunglasses during performances.[6] The clothes that the members donned on stage have gained a cult among their fans and are sold in boutique stores such as DongDaeMun.[22] In 2011, Big Bang collaborated with Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo to create t-shirts in promotion of their Japanese comeback. It was reported that the items were "sold out within 15 minutes of the store's opening."[107]

Big Bang influenced the creation of the Chinese boy band OkBang, who were described as having "many similarities to Big Bang in terms of musical style, wardrobe and hairstyles".[108] In 2010, the group's Big Show concert was chosen by the South Korean Touristic Committee for their Visit Korea from 2010—2012 campaign, stating that they will "have a big economic impact on the country".[109]

Endorsements
