It’s time to let BIGBANG go for a while… Hard to say goodbye [BIGBANG “FINAL 0to10” ⓛ]



[OSEN=정준화 기자] Sorry for not saying goodbye coolly, but it is harder to let them go as the time to say goodbye is coming closer. As BIGBANG is appearing more in front of fans in order to build more good memories with fans before they join the army for mandatory military service, fans are facing bigger and bigger sorry feelings for the imminent separation from BIGBANG. Even though it is a separation only for a couple of years, that seems to be no condolence for BIGBANG’s fans.

Upon the release of “MADE FULL ALBUM”, BIGBANG made a lot of appearances in front of fans, not only in TV music shows every week, but also in “The Infinite Challenge”, “Weekly Idol”, “Radio Star”, other TV shows, and fan meetings. Then, BIGBANG’s service for fans reached its climax at the large-scale concert held in Seoul to draw 60,000 fans.

The timing could have never been better. The release of the first full album in eight years in the year of celebration of the 11thanniversary of debut, and then the last concert before joining the army. Because it will be difficult to performances of the complete team of BIGBANG for a couple of years from now, fans at the concert were so much excited. 

BIGBANG held “BIGBANG10 THE CONCERT : 0.TO.10 FINAL IN SEOUL” on January 7 and 8 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, to meet 60,000 fans. The concert was live-broadcasted on NAVER V-LIVE, to invite fans who were not able to get the tickets to the concert, too.

The concert was the grand finale of BIGBANG’s concert and fan meeting tour that have been carried out in Korea, Japan, China, and also other regions, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of BIGBANG’s debut. BIGBANG and their fans looked back on the past 10 years together and promised their future together with V.I.P., having touching moments. 



BIGBANG’s set list prepared for the concert was surprising. The concert was filled with BIGBANG’s top hit songs released for the past 10 years, including “LIES”, “LAST FAREWELL”, “LOSER”, “GOOD BOY”, “IF YOU”, “BANG BANG BANG”, “FANTASTIC BABY”, “SOBER”, and so on. The members poured out all their energy from the beginning to the end and fans acclaimed BIGBANG, shaking the golden crown sticks for entire 200 minutes. 

The members also performed their solo hit songs. SEUNGRI’s “STRONG BABY”, DAESUNG’s “Look at Me, Gwisoon”, G-DRAGON’s “Heartbreaker” and other songs were performed. After GD&T.O.P’s “HIGH HIGH” and GD&TAEYANG’s “GOOD BOY” were performed, T.O.P sang “DOOM DADA” and TAEYANG performed “EYES, NOSE, LIPS”, to make the atmosphere at the concert reach the climax. 



By the end of the concert, a parade of great hits including “IF YOU”, “LAST DANCE”, “BANG BANG BANG”, “FANTASTIC BABY”, and “SOBER” were performed. As BIGBANG has a large pool of hit songs that resonate with everyone and they are still creating new hits, the team’s concert was all the more fancy and rich. Notably, BIGBANG’s live performance was perfect and they presented remarkably eye-catching fans service and attitude on the stage, which have been polished further for the past 10 years. 

Fans cannot but feel sorry for the fact that they cannot see such perfect performances of the five members of BIGBANG for some time. TAEYANG expressed his gratitude for fans and promised to come back soon.

“From our debut 10 years ago until today, the past 10 years have passed really fast, all because we were together with you. It’s not the last time that we spend together, so don’t worry… It’s just that we cannot see each other for some time. I believe all of you are feeling the same with us. Just as the past 10 years together have passed so fast, the time you will be able to five of us on the stage again will come so fast.”

All songs are hit songs… BIGBANG’s set list? Of course always unrivalled [BIGBANG “FINAL 0to10”②]



[OSEN=정준화 기자] Every performance presented by BIGBANG was the highlight of concert. That is because BIGBANG has numerous hit songs familiar to not only their fans but also the public. From the songs released 10 years ago to the songs of “MADE FULL ALBUM” released recently, the concert was filled with many hit songs.

As such, the concert was like a gift for fans. BIGBANG held “BIGBANG10 THE CONCERT : 0.TO.10 FINAL IN SEOUL” on January 7 and 8 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, to meet 60,000 fans.

The set list of the concert was like a package full of gifts. It included all the top hit songs BIGBANG has created for the past 10 years, including “LIES”, “LAST FAREWELL”, “LOSER”, “GOOD BOY”, “IF YOU”, “BANG BANG BANG”, “FANTASTIC BABY”, “SOBER”, and so on, which are so easy to sing along.

In addition, each member’s hit songs were also performed: including SEUNGRI’s “STRONG BABY”, DAESUNG’s “Look at Me, Gwisoon”, G-DRAGON’s “Heartbreaker”, as well as GD&T.O.P’s “HIGH HIGH” and GD&TAEYANG’s “GOOD BOY”. Then, T.O.P performed “DOOM DADA” and TAEYANG sang “EYES, NOSE, LIPS”, to bring the atmosphere at the concert to the climax.

BIGBANG is an unrivalled idol boy group in Korea. The team has kept growing as an artist continuously for the past 10 years since their debut. The team’s influence in the music scene has grown even bigger and bigger as time went by. Music industry insiders analyze that BIGBANG is the only idol group in Korea whose influence is growing even bigger rather than being weakened.

That was all because BIGBANG has never stopped working hard for the past 10 years. Last year, BIGBANG created numerous hits with their “MADE Project”. With two new songs released every month, BIGBANG swept No.1 on music charts and the success went beyond Korea to sweep the global music scene.

With the release of BIGBANG’s new full album in eight years in December last year, BIGBANG reached the peak of their career with “FXXK IT” and “LAST DANCE”. Upon the release of the album, BIGBANG swept No.1 on the real-time charts of eight music-streaming websites in Korea, recording a long-run hit up until now.

 Hard  work  is  never  wasted. Hard-work and consistency are always the right answer. BIGBANG began from scratch, all on their own, reaping harvests just with their arduous efforts and hard-working. For such 10 years, BIGBANG has garnered music fans’ trust in their music, being recognized by the public.

BIGBANG goes out with bang


Iconic K-pop group wraps up decade of eclectic music with spectacle

 

Determined to bid what the group has called a temporary farewell in typical BIGBANG fashion, the iconic K-pop boy band went all out in every aspect — fashion, sound, performance, camera work and stage design — at its final concerts in Seoul this past weekend.

Some 64,000 flocked to the “0 To 10 Final in Seoul” concerts, held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Saturday and Sunday, according to YG Entertainment — many from overseas.

The shows marked the last installation in BIGBANG’s 10-year-anniversary project — including an art exhibit in Seongsu-dong and a film of its world tour — that has been ongoing since last year.

Sunday’s concert kicked off with “My Heaven,” “We Like 2 Party” and “Hands Up.” The group also performed new songs from their recent album “MADE: The Full Album,” “Fxxk It” and “Last Dance.” Throbbing dance hits such as “Bang Bang Bang” and “Fantastic Baby” closed the show, followed by an encore during which BIGBANG circled the stadium on a moving platform.

A gigantic pyramid lift installed onstage allowed the band members to move in different formations for each song.

The group’s five members delivered energetic performances until the very end. “This is the last concert all five of us will be able to participate in for a long time. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life,” said T.O.P.

The rapper, 29, will begin his 19-month mandatory military service on Feb. 9, upon which BIGBANG as a group will go on a hiatus. G-Dragon and Taeyang are also expected to enlist later this year.

“You are the ones who shared memories with us for 10 years, who let us grow with your passion,” T.O.P told the sea of fans waving yellow glow sticks.

“I‘ve been running forward since I was 19. There was a sense of fear and loneliness in going to a new environment, but I feel at peace now. Everyone has to go,” he said on his military service. “I’m thankful I’m able to have a brilliant ending.”

But BIGBANG made sure to end on a hopeful note. “This is not our last,” said Taeyang. “Our first 10 years have passed by so quickly. Likewise, we’re sure the day when we meet again will come soon. Don’t worry.”

G-Dragon expressed wistfulness but indicated that individual members would actively release music as solo acts.

“We should have met more often,” he told fans. “I’m sorry to be late. But I’m happy we’re starting the year together. I look forward to 2017.

“Our long hiatus will pass by quickly with each member’s solo acts in between. There’s nothing to be too sad about,” he added.
