Information

BIGBANG's members were first introduced to the public through a 10 episode documentary that ran from July 15 - August 13, 2006. The show documented Yang Hyun Suk's decision to cut what started as 6 members to a 5 member group; though, he originally intended to cut 2 members. Seungri was admitted in a last chance while Hyun Seung was cut out. The group was formed by 2 newcomers, Daesung and Seungri, a well known underground rapper, T.O.P (formerly known as Tempo), and G-Dragon and Taeyang, both of whom have done several collaborations with other YG Entertainment artists prior to debuting as part of BIGBANG.

BIGBANG, still as a 6 member group, made his public debut in the "YG Family 10th Anniversary World Tour 2006" concert held on August 19, 2006. Just 10 days after this concert, BIGBANG, now as a 5 member group, made his official debut with the self-titled single BIGBANG. The single sold nearly 40.000 copies. One month later they released their second single BIGBANG IS V.I.P which sold 32.000 copies. Their third, and last until the date, Korean single was released two months later than the second one; B I G B A N G 03 sold nearly 30.000 copies.

At this time, an official fanclub was created V.I.P. In December of 2006, BIGBANG releases his first full album SINCE 2007 which sold 48,000 copies by the end of February 2007. In this same month the group held their first live concert "The Real" (released on the First Live Concert: The Real LIVE Concert DVD).

From May to July 2007, the group held their first national tour in five cities: Incheon, Daegu, Changwon, Jeonju and Busan.

In the middle of 2007, their first mini-album, Always, was released. This time G-Dragon composed and produced some songs of the album, like the song Lies (거짓말). "Lies" became a hit reaching number one on the principal music TV-shows, and online charts for many weeks. Their second mini album, Hot Issue, was released only two months after Always and as what happened with Always, their second mini-album also contain a big hit. The song was Last Farewell (마지막 인사). Their new hit, got as much success as Lies. At the end of the year BIGBANG received many awards, including "Best Male Group", "Song Of The Year" (Lies, 거짓말) and "Music Arrangement" at the M.NET Music Festival.

In 2008 after gaining success in Korea, BIGBANG started their Japanese promotions and releases. In January, the mini-abum For The World was released. For The World was a collection of English versions of their Korean hits. The mini-album debuted at #14 on Oricon, and managed to reach the #10. In March, the group held his first Japanese concert at the JCB Hall. Two months later, in May, they release their second Japanese mini-album With U. As their first Japanese mini-album With U contained English versions of their Korean songs, but this time they included their first song in Japanese My Girl.

The group returned to Korea in the summer of 2008, for the release of a new mini-album Stand Up. The mini-album sold over 100.000 copies and contained the hit song Haru Haru (하루하루) which managed to archive as much success as BIGBANG's latest hits Lies and Last Farewell.
A couple of months later, BIGBANG releases his first full Japanese album Number 1, which reaches #3 on the Oricon daily charts.

BIGBANG starts 2009 with the collaboration single Lollipop. This single was the debut for the girl group 2NE1, which was described by YG as the "Female BIGBANG". It was released digitally and although the song was only released for the promotion of a cell phone, it gained much popularity.

In the summer of 2009, BIGBANG releases his first Japanese single MY HEAVEN which was a Japanese version of the original Korean song "Heaven" (천국). The single reached the #3 in the Oricon weekly charts, what made BIGBANG's better charting since their Japanese debut.
Following their release pattern with their Korean singles, just a month later they released their second Japanese single Gara Gara GO!!. With this song the group managed to perform for the first time in the most popular Japanese music shows as Music Station or Hey Hey Hey.
