  • Essay / BigBang and Their Music - 764

    « Big Bang or Bigbang (Korean: 빅뱅; stylized as BIGBANG) is a South Korean boy group under the management of YG Entertainment. Formed in 2006, the group is composed of G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri. Big Bang is known for its unique urban-based music and fashion style. » Source: Wikipedia So the reasons why I like Bigbang or a particular member... There's really no particular reason that I have to say. These five guys have a special charm; Something that average idols don't have. It's not a loot or an act. They're just...themselves. They bare it all and work their hardest. There was this time they were even hospitalized for working too hard. It was at the time of their debut. And that was almost 7 years ago. Our boys really have come a long way, don't you think? I was only VIP at the beginning of this year. It was around April, I think. When Fantastic Baby was trending in 2012, I paid them exactly 0% interest. I thought they were trying hard and were just wondering this once. I never liked K-Pop either. But I was forced to; since my friends are die-hard K-Pop lovers. I despised GD's hair, TOP's head tilted, Taeyang's shirt (he should stay shirtless all the time), Daesung's shock of blonde hair covering his eyes, and Seungri trying to be sexy. But it was hot at the time; I can't help but follow. Earlier this year I started watching Running Man. I discovered the world of K in a different light. I never knew Koreans could be so fun and so creative. I started listening to LeesSang and also Kim Jong Kook. And then, like all the other fan girls, I started reading fan fiction. But there wasn't a lot of Running Man fanfiction. So one day I came across a story about Jiyong. It was a translated version. But... middle of paper...... I discovered this awesome group of artists and also their fandom. VIPs are actually calm and have more rational thinking than some other fandoms. They are also friendly. I've made friends all over the world just by being a VIP. It's great, isn't it? How 5 men can unite us without really doing anything other than making music. “The most important songs that have moved the world forward are those about love. If we can all come together...we can make a big difference. » - Stevie Wonder at MAMA 2013. His speech reminded me of Bigbang. This fandom has united us all, regardless of our age, religion, and location. I'm grateful to have these 5 as motivation. They made me realize my dreams and also made me move forward. They brightened my day with their voices. I love Bigbang and the fandom! I can proudly say that I am a VIP and will be forever.
