Dubbed as The Kings of Kpop and the emperors of kpop—BIGBANG is a three-member boy group under YG Entertainment that consists of global superstars G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung. They originally debuted in 2006 as a 5-member group.
The group was formed through the show "Bigbang Documentary" and they eventually debuted with five members, including former members Seungri and T.O.P, in 2006 during the YG Family's 10th Anniversary concert at Seoul's Olympic Gymnastics Arena. With group's back to back hit songs and the members' incredible talent and charisma, they became a highly acclaimed boy group loved by fans of different generations, not just in Korea but internationally as well.
During the group's hiatus in 2019, Seungri left the group and retired from the entertainment industry, leaving them with four members.
On July 6, 2019, T.O.P was the first member to be discharged from the military, followed by G-Dragon on October 25, 2019. Taeyang and Daesung were discharged on November 10. In March 2020, all four members renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment. However, in 2022, TOP was revealed to have left the agency but will continue to be part of BIGBANG. The group is set to make their much-awaited comeback in April 2022.
On May 31, 2023 T.O.P confirmed that he had withdrawn from the group and is no longer a member. This establishes BIGBANG as a 3-member group.
