[ 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.
