Bio


G-Dragon initially started out as a child hip hop artist likely in hopes of emulation the popularity and success of Lil Romeo and Lil Bow Wow in the states. He was also a model. However, he could not release an album and was limited to featuring on other YG artists’ albums.


On January 2001, GD debuted on the compilation album Daehanmingook Hip-Hop Flex as a rapper. After his debut, he was recruited along with Tae Yang to act in JinuSean’s mv as mini JinuSean, which was released in February of the same year. Then GD started training out his planned debut as one half of hip hop duo GDYB.


During that time, he was featured on songs by Perry, Se7en, Wheesung, YG Family and Masta Wu. He also had cameos in many YG artists’s music videos and performed live with Swi.T, Lexy, JinuSean and YG Family. He also performed in concert with Wheesung, Gummy and Se7en and in YG Family’s annual One concerts.


Out of everyone, GD was closest to YG and Perry, who thought him a lot, and his relationship with Hyun Suk was even described as “father and son”. GDYB released 2 songs on YG Family’s second album, but never debut or released an album. In 2004, GD and Tae Yang were both listed as YG new faces and scheduled to debut that year.


However, Hyun Suk announced that their debut was canceled in favor of forming a four-to-six member group. It took until 2006 for BIG BANG to be officially announced via The BIG BANG Documentary Reality Show. Meanwhile, GDYB were featured in Se7en’s album and performed with him at the World Cup.


After graduating from high school, he decided to wait a year before applying to college, and took his college entrance exams in Fall 2007. G-Dragon is BIG BANG’s leader. He is also a rapper and vocalist and has been producing with BIG BANG’s releases with the help of Hyun Suk since the beginning. He also wrote many of the lyrics and recently started songwriting and arranging.

His first kiss was during the filming of the Ma Girl music video, when the actress got carried away and kissed him for real.

During training, he got to do vocal training with Wheesung, who’s one of his favorite artists. Wheesung had also help other members from BIG BANG. While training, he was diagnosed with vocal cord nodules (a mass of tissue that grows on the vocal cords causing human speech to be difficult), which are common among singers and caused by strains on the vocal cords.

Gummy was the one who said “hello” in Korean in the "Lie" MV.
In April 2007, Dae Sung decided to quit high school to be able to focus full-time on Big Bang, but expressed a desire to pass his college entrance exams sometime in the future.

Big Bang adalah boy band dari Korea Selatan. Kelompok ini terdiri dari 5 personel, masing-masing mempunyai bagian suara berbeda atau rapping. Mereka dianggap sebagai anggota wajah yang baru dari "Keluarga YG" di bawah asuhan YG Entertainment.[1] Setelah meluncurkan karier mereka pada tahun 2006, Big Bang berhasil populer dan sukses pada tahun 2007 dengan singel "Lies" (거짓말).[2] Kesuksesan ini menempatkan Big Bang sebagai boy band ternama Korea Selatan, dan bersaing dengan grup penyanyi wanita Wonder Girls. Selain dikenal berkat lagu-lagu hit mereka, anggotanya juga dijadikan panutan dalam gaya berbusana.[3]

Perjalanan karier

Pendirian: 2005-2006

Sebelum meluncurkan karier mereka dengan perusahaan rekaman besar, masing-masing anggota Big Bang sudah tidak asing lagi dengan dunia hiburan. G-Dragon, sang pemimpin, dan Tae Yang telah menjadi anggota YG Entertainment sejak mereka berusia 12 tahun. Keduanya dikenal sebagai "GDYB" yang merupakan singkatan nama mereka berdua 'GD dari G-Dragon dan YB' dari Young Bae (nama asli Tae Yang).[4] Anggota bernama T.O.P dikenal sebagai rapper hip hop underground, sementara Seung Ri pertama kali masuk ke dalam dunia industri hiburan ketika diikutsertakan dalam acara milik Shinhwa, "Let's Cokeplay Battle".[4]
Setelah anggota Big Band lengkap, jaringan televisi MTV Korea membuat 10 episode dokumenter yang memuat tentang aktivitas mereka selama menjalani latihan sebelum diluncurkan sebagai boy band. Episode 6 bagian pertama merinci tentang motivasi dan latar belakang para amhhpya untuk menjadi seorang penyanyi. Dokumenter ini melukiskan proses latihan yang sangat berat seperti sesi menari dan menyanyi. Dua orang anggota, SO-1 dan Seung Ri telah dipertimbangkan untuk tidak diikutsertakan, tetapi mereka diberi kesempatan untuk memamerkan kebolehan mereka dalam hal menari dan menyanyi. Namun Yang Hyun Suk (CEO YG Entertainment) akhirnya mengeluarkan SO-1 karena ia dianggap "terlalu malu-malu". Sementara itu, Seung Ri membuat Yang Hyun Suk terkesan dengan ketrampilan menyanyi dan menari yang dimilikinya, dan dipilih sebagai anggota Big Bang. Video dokumenter ini dibuat untuk mengenang masa paling berat para personel Big Bang sebelum menjadi bintang di industri hiburan Korea.
Ketika banyak boy band yang memiliki tipe penyanyi yang imut, produser YG Entertainment ingin memudarkan citra imut, dan membuat sebuah boy band yang benar-benar bisa bernyanyi. Sebelum melakukan debutnya sebagai Big Bang, para personelnya pernah mengusulkan beberapa nama seperti Apex, Stump, dan Diamond. Yang Hyun Suk, produser dan pendiri YG Entertainment menganggap nama-nama yang diusulkan mereka terlalu kekanak-kanakan, dan menetapkan nama baru, yakni "Big Bang".[4]

Penampilan pertama: 2006

Big Bang secara resmi melakukan penampilan pertama mereka di konser YG Family, 19 Agustus 2006 di Gymnastics Arena, Taman Olimpiade Seoul. Pada mulanya Big Bang beranggotakan 6 orang, namun salah seorang personel telah gugur (dalam video dokumenter Big Bang episode 9) dan tidak diikutsertakan.
Sebelum merilis album pertama mereka, Big Bang merilis 3 EP secara berturut-turut dalam beberapa bulan. Mereka merilis EP pertama, The First Single (29 Agustus 2006) yang menghasilkan singel hit, "This Love". Lagu "This Love" merupakan pembuatan ulang dari lagu "This Love" milik boy band Amerika Maroon 5.[1] Singel "This Love" laris terjual 17 ribu kopi di bulan Agustus 2006,[5] dan selanjutnya masih laku kira-kira sebanyak 40 ribu kopi.[6] Big Bang merilis EP kedua, "Big Bang Is VIP", sebulan kemudian pada 28 September 2006, dan terjual sebanyak 21 ribu kopi dalam tempo 1 bulan.[7] Pada akhirnya "Big Bang Is VIP" mampu terjual sebanyak 32.000 kopi.[6] Pada 22 November 2006, mereka merilis EP ketiga bertajuk B I G B A N G 0 3, dan sukses terjual hampir 30 ribu kopi.[6]
Masih pada tahun yang sama, klub penggemar Big Bang didirikan dengan nama "V.I.P." (nama yang diambil dari judul singel kedua mereka, "Big Bang Is VIP"). Berbeda dengan klub penggemar yang lain, penggemar Big Bang tidak mempunyai warna balon khusus untuk memperlihatkan dukungan mereka pada Big Bang. Sebagai pengganti balon, mereka melambaikan saputangan atau bandana berwarna hitam dan putih yang merupakan warna Big Bang.
Pada akhir Desember 2006, Big Bang menggelar konser pertama berjudul "The Real". Pada bulan berikutnya mereka merilis album perdana Since 2007 yang berisi kompilasi singel-singel yang beredar sebelumnya. Album perdana Big Bang terjual sebanyak 48.009 kopi hingga akhir Februari 2007.[6]

Puncak kesuksesan: 2007-2008

Pada 8 Februari 2007, Big Bang merilis album konser berjudul The First / Real Life Concert yang terjual hampir 30 ribu kopi hingga akhir 2007.[8] Dari Mei sampai Juli 2007, Big Bang menggelar tur keliling Korea pertama mereka yang diberi nama, "With You". Konser diadakan di 5 kota besar: Incheon, Daegu, Changwon, Jeonju, dan Busan.
Pada Agustus 2007, Big Bang merilis Always sebagai album mini perdana mereka, diikuti dengan promosi dan temu penggemar. Pemimpin grup G-Dragon mulai memproduksi dan menulis beberapa lagu untuk album Always. Album ini mendapat sambutan baik dari para penggemar dan kritikus musik, terutama lagu berjudul "거짓말" ("Lies").[9] "Lies" menjadi lagu pertama dari Big Bang yang menjadi hit luar biasa. Di acara SBS Hit Songs, "Lies" menempati urutan pertama pada 27 September 2007. Lagu ini juga menduduki peringkat pertama dalam MBC's Music Core, KBS Music Bank, dan Mnet Countdown, serta sejumlah tangga lagu daring dan untuk beberapa minggu berturut-turut.
Big Bang mendapatkan sejumlah penghargaan pada akhir tahun 2007, termasuk Grup Pria Terbaik dan Lagu Terbaik dalam acara Festival Musik M.NET/KM 2007.[10] Pada tahun 2008, Big Bang meraih Penghargaan "Daesang" (Artis Terbaik) dari 17th Seoul Music Awards.[11]
Album mini kedua, Hot Issue dirilis beberapa bulan setelah Always, dan menghasilkan singel hit mereka yang berikutnya, "Last Farewell" ("마지막 인사"). Seperti album mini sebelumnya, "Last Farewell" juga menempati peringkat atas berbagai tangga album. Dari Cyworld, Last Farewell memenangi penghargaan Song of the Month Digital Music Award, dan berada di peringkat atas tangga album Juke-On selama 8 minggu berturut-turut.[12]
Konser keliling kedua mereka, Big Bang Is Great berlangsung dari 28 Desember hingga 30 Desember 2008. Tiket habis terjual dalam 10 menit.[13] Akibat terlalu lelah dan cedera dalam konser, anggota Big Bang sampai harus masuk rumah sakit,[14] dan kegiatan promosi mereka menjadi tertunda. Walaupun demikian, album dan singel Big Bang terus laris sehingga harus dicetak ulang.[15]

[sunting] Peluncuran karier di luar Korea

Setelah sukses di dalam negeri, Big Bang mempersiapkan peluncuran karier mereka di Jepang. Album bahasa Jepang pertama dari Big Bang, For the World dirilis tahun 2008. Album tersebut berisi lagu-lagu berbahasa Korea, dan hanya satu lagu berbahasa Jepang, "How Gee" (remix versi baru dari "How Gee" yang pernah dibawakan grup Jepang Black Machine). Album perdana mereka di Jepang sampai di peringkat 14 tangga lagu Oricon, dan terhenti di urutan ke-10 akibat kurang promosi.[16] Pada 28-29 Maret 2008, Big Bang mengadakan konser di JCB Hall, Tokyo Dome City. Selain itu, mereka juga merilis album mini di Jepang pada akhir Mei dengan judul With U.
Setelah usaha mereka di Jepang berakhir, Big Bang kembali ke Korea pada pertengahan 2008. Sesudah tertunda beberapa kali akibat kegiatan solo personel Big Bang, mereka merilis album mini ke-3, Stand Up. Dalam album mini tersebut, Big Bang berkolaborasi dengan grup Daishi Dance. Bersama grup rock Korea No Brain, mereka menghasilkan lagu berirama punk rock, "Oh My Friend". Dari album mini tersebut dikeluarkan singel Day By Day (하루하루). Seperti album-album sebelumnya, G-Dragon sangat terlibat dalam proses produksi Stand Up. Semua lagu di dalam album tersebut merupakan ciptaan G-Dragon, kecuali "A Good Man" yang diciptakan T.O.P.. Album mini Stand Up laris melampaui 100.000 kopi, sementara singel "Day By Day" menempati urutan teratas tangga-tangga lagu Korea Selatan selama 6 minggu berturut-turut.[17]
Pada saat yang hampir bersamaan, Big Bang merilis lagu berbahasa Jepang, "Number 1" dari album berjudul sama, Number 1, dan memperkenalkan lagu mereka di berbagai acara radio dan televisi di Jepang. Menjelang penutupan tahun 2008, Big Bang merilis album Korea, Remember yang menghasilkan singel 붉은노을 ("Sunset Glow").

Perluasan karier: 2009

Big Bang beristirahat sementara pada awal 2009 untuk memberi kesempatan anggotanya melakukan karier solo. Mereka memproduksi lagu "Lollipop" bersama grup anak perempuan 2NE1 yang baru didirikan, dan tampil bersama dalam video musik untuk keperluan promosi.[18]
Setelah sukses dengan "Lollipop", Big Bang merilis singel Jepang berjudul "My Heaven" pada bulan Mei 2009. Lagu ini merupakan terjemahan bahasa Jepang dari lagu "Heaven" yang berasal dari EP Stand Up[rujukan?] . Selain itu juga ada Let Me Hear Your Voice atau dalam bahasa Jepang adalah Koe Wo Kikasete , yang dinyanyikan dalam bahasa Jepang dan Inggris .
