**BIGBANG** is a five member South Korean boy group formed by YG Entertainment which debuted in August 2006. Despite initial moderate receptions, the release of their first mini album "Always" in 2007 marked their breakthrough and yielded the number one song "Lies" which scored them their first major award.

After winning the "Artist Of The Year" Award at the 2008 Mnet Korean Music Festival BIGBANG went ahead and made their debut in Japan with the mini album "For The World".

Commonly labeled as the "Kings of K-pop" and "Nation's Boy Band", the members are involved in composing and writing their music, most notably their leader G-Dragon, which earned them respect and praise in the music industry.
