YES!! Bigbang! I'm happy you're doing a part 2. Here is an extensively long introduction and brief history of Bigbang: They debuted in 2006 from YG. They were not super successfull right from the start but with Lies in 2007 and Haru Haru in 2008 they catapulted to superstardom in South Korea. And they just grew bigger with each comeback and started to get international fame too. And this was before RUclips and social media were huge like they are now. They really like to experiment with their music, you'll never know what to expect from them.... pop-rock to EDM to old school rap and everything in between. I think that is one of the biggest reasons why they are so loved by both kpop fans and the general public. Never trust a kpop fan who doesn't know Bigbang (or the other 2nd gen legends). They have a hand in everything regarding their music, writing and producing (GD is the one who started the whole idols doing their own music thing), they fund their consert tours 100% themselves, they design the lighting, stages, setlists, arrangements etc for conserts. They are the blueprint that other companies use to form their new groups. The members are GD (G-Dragon): Leader, Lead rapper, Vocals, Producer, Songwriter, born 1988 (high tone voice, very distinct voice, easy to regocnise) TOP: Main rapper, minimal vocals, Producer, Songwriter, Actor, Art collector, born 1987 (deep and low voice) Taeyang: Main vocal, Producer, Songwriter, born 1988 (the smooth R&B voice) Daesung: Vocals, Producer, Songwriter, Drummer, born 1989 (most of his solo stuff is under the name D-Lite in Japan) (Powerful, a bit raspy voice, very easy to regocnise also) (Check D'splay here on RUclips, he is totally not Daesung *wink*) ex-member Seungri: Vocals, Producer, Songwriter, born 1990 (light pretty voice) (Left BB in 2019 due to a scandal (he was our maknae for 13 years so I'm including him here and he's in all of BB's MVs except Still Life). If you want to know more I can write a new comment on that, but all in all it was a super messy, public and complicated thing that was part a witch hunt, part covering bigger issues and there was some small part that was also the truth. There is A LOT of wrong info going around on this scandal and about him.) They don't really dance during their MVs and lives (like pretty much all other groups do) but they are talented dancers, especially Taeyang, GD and Seungri. When you get to know them more you will see that TOP is the greatest dancer of all!! LOL. Seungri even had a dance academy and many idols trained there, like J-Hope (BTS) and Minzy (2NE1). BB are the kings of live performances!! They like to arrange their songs differently for pretty much every consert and live show. They have had the same live band with them since 2012. The band six toured with BB for years until they went to hiatus for military and the band has since toured with other YG groups, mainly Blackpink. My personal favorites live are Café, Haru Haru (acoustic version) and Sober (with Daesung on the drums). I highly recommend watching a consert, the Japan dome tour X 2014-2015 is one of the best ones and the MADE or 0to10 tours are also great ones. But to fully grasp the impact they have had, here is a list of some things that are very normal now but what Bigbang started and changed: - Lightsticks (GD invented the concept and designed BB's yellow crown lightstick, the bang bong) - TOP was the first underground rapper (he went by the name Tempo) turned idol (turned into a successfull actor) - Writing their own songs and producing their own music (GD, the musical genius, but all of them write and produce). So now younger idols have the chance to make their own music thanks to GD and BB breaking the stereotype of idols. - Different genres of music started to be more common in Kpop thanks to them (Hip Hop, EDM...) as they were exploring different genres and making variety of differend genre music. - Combining different genres in one song. Like Bang bang bang. - Fantastic Baby started the EDM era in Kpop. - To have actual rappers in a group and not a group member who can't sing well enough and was trained to rap here and there. The first real rapline GD&TOP (and they actually have an album together). - Rapper combo with higher voice and a deeper voice and at least one deep voiced rapper in a group. - Solo carees, back in the day idols started their solo careers only after disbanding, but BB members wanted to go solo and stay in BB. And they have done it super well.. All of them have a very successful solo career. - International success before social media and streaming were a thing. - They were the first ones to have a real world tour, first international awards, etc. - YG made BIGBANG but BIGBANG made YG. YG ent is one of the "BIG 3" (or the big 4...with Hybe) all thanks to BB. Many kpop fans doesn't seem to know this but YGE was extremely poor (like going bankrupt level) and a small company when BB were trainees and debuted and thanks to their success they are now one of the biggest companies out there. BB was responsible for over 60% of YGEs income at one point and for some time too. - First mini albums. - They were always themselves, goofy, weird and funny. So group members now can also be more free to who they are. - High fashion in kpop (mainly GD.. and TOP) - Crazy hair colors (mainly GD again) - The list goes on.. They've had some scandals over the years (some real and some not) but in my opinion most of it is just South Korean media (and knets) hating on them (they always have) and them being grown up men just living their life in a super conservative world of kpop idols. What I personally like the most about them is that they really don't give a f**k about anything anymore, they just do what they like the most and that is excellent music. With this modern era of kpop with the super conservative rules it'll be fun to see BB shake things up when they finally appear in the public again with BB or solo promotions!! (The world of kpop was very different when I started my kpop journey in 2010... groups were collaborating, male and female idols were collaborating and were friends in public, no useless scandals over every little thing and the fandoms weren't nearly as toxic as they are now, ah the golden era of kpop. I miss those days. Newer fans have no idea what they have missed out on.) I would recommend to start either from the start or go with the most recent MADE album. All songs from that album (except If You, see the tour report for this one) has an MV. Also they all have excellent solo music with their own flare. Please check out Daesung (D-Lite) - Anymore (live Japan dome tour 2017) and TOP - Doom Dada (MV) for starters. They are hilarious people so variety shows are a must: Happy together, weekly idol, Radio Star, all the Running Man episodes with BB are golden, Run Bigbang scout and the MADE movie.
BigBang usually do wierds videos, but with a lot of expressions. Loser lyrics is actually very deep, I think they made want to express some types of anxiety, depression, loneliness but without uncensored.
Hi, look at the solo work of the guys: GD - "coup d'etat ", " Crooked " T. O. P - "Oh, mum", "Doom DaDa" Teyang - "Prayer", " Ringa Linga " D-Lite - "Anymore" (Live performance🖤💛) "Looked me a Gwison" Seungri - "Where are you from? ", " Strong baby ", " VVIP"
cool👏👏🔥, i'm waiting for part 3!, thanks for reacting to bigbang. how someone else says in the comments that you should react to Bigbang MAMA 2015 where Bigbang interacts with EXO 🖤♥️ is that MAMA comes out the song "bae bae" that you haven't heard yet.👑👑
Sober is about getting drunk to escape a painful reality . Sober is the state of not being drunk and they cant be sober because pain is to much to deal with so they will drink and find refuge in a fantasy world .They are in a dream world in the MV . Fantastic Baby is from Alive album and was released after a dificult time this is why you see the members frozen , chained , TOP is trapped in a painting , GDs hair grew long for waiting a long time and fans fight those who want to stop BigBang music . Singing my blues = singing my sadness Is a break up song
You should read the lyrics for loser. They are pretty deep. Loser MV: G Dragon: unfulfillment - he lives a privileged life, he's rich and has everyhting you would want but he's still lonely, unhappy and feels empty. Taeyang: Losing his faith and struggling to live in a just path, ever fearful that sin will find him. Finally losing his battle and committing suicide. Seungri: Feeling inadequate. He found his girlfriend cheating and he starts to obbess and harrass her and destroys stuff and is violent in his anger. Daesung: He feels weak and inadequate. Tries to prove himself repeatedly but fails and ends up being beaten by his bullies. He's unable to pick himself back up. TOP: Narcissist, perfectionist, obsessive over his possessions, messing around with women. When the woman touches his art he loses it (even he is using gloves in his home) and ends up killing her. He lost his mind and killed the girl due to his obsession over perfection.
Hi Julie. Thanks for reacting to BigBang. Would you please do some reactions to their earlier MV’s like Goodbye Baby, Number 1, and then one of the later MV’s Beautiful Hangover. Salmat Po. What part of the Philippines are you in?
For their solo recommendations you were asking for albums? Here are my personal favorite solo album for each member and MV recommendations of their solo song MVs: GD - Coup d'Etat album, Coup d'Etat MV, Crooked MV, Unititled 2014 MV, One of a kind MV Taeyang - Rise album, Eyes Nose Lips MV, Ringa Linga MV, 1AM MV, Only look at me MV Daesung (D-Lite) - D-Day album, Shut up MV, Anymore live in Japan dome tour 2017 (no MV), Look at me Gwisun MV, あ・ぜ・ちょ! MV or Missing you now (close up edit) (just a FYI most of his japanese official MVs are short versions, so not the full song so look for the full version or live version) Seungri - The Great Seungri album, 1 2 3! MV, Gotta talk to you MV, Strong baby MV, VVIP MV TOP - No solo albums yet (he's been too busy acting), one is coming. GD&TOP album, Doom Dada MV, Turn it up MV, GD&TOP - Zutter MV, GD&TOP - Don't go home MV
Hahaha TOP is very odd. Very unique personality. Our 4D alien, Bingu TOP. All of them are pretty hyper but TOP is his own catecory of weird. Subtitles only became a thing around 2015-2016. So older MV's don't have them. We just looked the translation online back in the day and it was way harder to find good ones. You can look for fanmade MVs with subs, the official MV but in fanchannels with subs.
Hi Julia thank you for this reaction. I am a VIP since I knew 2012 and it was hard for me to move on and try listening to other group. However recently, while I'm studying I find myself listening to EXO ballad songs and I love it. So I think we are the same as I'm in the process of discovering EXO and you on the Bigbang as well. Anyway, please react to Bigbang IF You (there's no MV for this only live performance), Haru Haru (acoustic version) and FXXX IT.

You should check the lyrics too
Hahaha TOP is very odd. Very unique personality. Our 4D alien, Bingu TOP. All of them are pretty hyper but TOP is his own catecory of weird.
