뱅뱅뱅 (BANG BANG BANG)BIGBANG
Debuting under YG Entertainment in 2006, BIGBANG rose to become a global boy group with overwhelming charisma and high-quality music.
Even people who didn’t listen to much K-pop at the time often knew their name, and their presence in Japan was outstanding—one of the boy groups that arguably caught fire in Japan before the rest of the world, achieving feats like the first-ever five consecutive years of dome tours by an overseas artist.
From karaoke anthems like “GARA GARA GO!!” and “FANTASTIC BABY” to bittersweet, fleeting ballads such as “IF YOU” and the fan-favorite classic “HaruHaru,” they masterfully portray both stillness and dynamism with remarkable expressive power.
Around 2013–2014, projects like D-LITE’s cover releases and G-DRAGON’s solo activities added further depth, and from 2015 onward their momentum was especially explosive.
With globally influential leader G-DRAGON writing, composing, and producing, the five members’ distinct personalities intertwine to amplify their appeal.
It’s impossible not to be captivated by the addictive hooks and powerful impact.
“BANG BANG BANG” even won Song of the Year at MAMA 2015 and stands as one of their signature tracks, packed with the quintessential BIGBANG worldview.
LIESBIGBANG
With lyrics that aren’t too mature yet not childish either, this song is unlike any other and truly characteristic of BIGBANG at the time.
G-DRAGON in the slightly eerie music video comes across as very masculine.
The whisper-like rap phrase at the end is striking and wonderful.
