Introduction
]
Big Bang is a hip hop
group composed of five members : T.O.P,
Seung Ri, G.DRAGON,
Tae Yang and Dae Sung.
They all have many abilities since they are talented
for singing, doing rap, dancing, and they can all
write songs. Big Bang became popular
very quickly, so they were even chosen, according
to the poll organized by Jukeon website, as the most
expected group in 2007 bu 40% of the voters. It is
very clear now, Big Bang is YG
Family's new main group, with a big difference
in their music - they can't be compared to Korea's
other main groups like Dong Bang Shin Gi, SS501 or
Shinhwa. |

History
]
Before the group's debut on stage, a documentary about
the group aired on television with GOM PLAYER, it
was called "Big Bang's documentary".
Within only two days, more than 8 million
of people got interested in it.
After the group's debut was announced, more than 3000
--internautes-- visited their official website.
Before the release of the first single, Big Bang had
already gained popularity. The group made its real
debut on August 18th, 2006 at YG
Family's concert in the Seoul Olympic Park
Gymnastic Arena. 11 days later, the first single was
released, on August 30th, 2006 with
the name of "Big Bang".
The single has 4 tracks, in which the members did
the music and lyrics themselves. But all the members
don't always participate in the elaboration of each
track, they appoint the one who has the best abilities
for the track. For instance, T.O.P and G.DRAGON made
the track "We belong together" since their
main talent is rap. The R&B ballad "Nunmulppunin
babo" was sang by Dae Sun, Tae Yang and Seung
Ri.
The second single confirmed the group's increasing
popularity, "Big Bang is V.I.P",
released on October 3rd is made of
4 tracks too and 15000 CD were sold the first
day, 5000 on the second one.
Within two days, all the copies were sold off. There
were also some change in the live performances ! For
their comeback, they sang "La-la-la" and
"V.I.P" with a short introduction before
the performance. During this introduction, each member
did a short dance, while the public was screaming
each member's name in the different rythms. Those
screams went on during the performance, almost after
every move they did. Just like all the star's performances.
On November 23rd, 2006, the group
released its 3rd single, "B I G B A N
G 03" with five tracks. One of them,
"Forever with you", is a collaboration with
the female singer Park Bom. It was
a good success too of course, and this success is
going on with the latest release, the first album
"Since 2007" released on
December 23rd which was easily added
to the best sellings.
Big Bang gave its first concert in Jamsil
in December 30th, 2006. Although
the group is still recent, there should be good suprises
from them this year and their popularity should still
increase.

million won, to be the models of the international
sport brand "FILA" for
