In-depth guide to BIGBANG PART 1 (2006-2008) or Why BIGBANG are STILL so RELEVANT? 

Bigbang is the very reason why my standards are very high when it comes to stanning any kpop group, especially now.

No offense to new kpop fans or kpop group, but BIGBANG music is on another level, you won't get bored or tired listen to their song repeatedly even songs from 16 years ago still valid and nice to hear. No other group can beat them. They never will

BIGBANG set the standard so high it makes it hard for a VIP to stan or love another group equally as we did with BigBang. They’ve achieved so much from their hardwork in an environment 100x worse than what the 3rd and 4th generation idols have to go through.

It is hard to accept for 3rd and 4th gen fandom that this is the group who started everything in Kpop and had been imitated. that is the fact. From stage performance, fashion, hair color and everything.

So many taken-for-granted things in kpop nowadays would never have been possible without BIGBANG daring to be different.

Haru Haru was also considered "the undisputed song of the decade", commenting on the single's influence, the song presented a sound that "was once innovative" but it "has since been copied and standardized to the point where almost every boy band now has a charismatic rapper with a booming voice." And one of the most influential song to come out of South Korean pop music.

You are without doubt the best BIGBANG content creator in this platform

They shape SK's hip-hop and brought k-pop to the rest of the world. That's one of the reason why big names of SK's hip-hop icons have high respect for BB. I hope new gens would be more appreciative to those who paved the way for their idols, rather than calling them names. God know how much I love BB.

BIGBANG really set the standard so high in terms of QUALITY 🔥

Because they paved the way for KPop in global stage. Just legends!

WHY? SIMPLE. THEY ARE LEGEND. Legends are always relevant no matter how many years will passed. That's how legendary they are.

This is a masterpiece. Can't wait for part 2. I just love seeing Ji Yong before "G Dragon" got so overwhelmingly famous. And y'all can fight me all you want but Seungri was always more talented than people gave him credit for. For me, his voice is the sweet, honey-flavored goo that holds all their songs together. Love these boys forever!

I didn't expect to feel so nostalgic 🤧💛✨ My boys 🐉👼☀️🐼🔝

Bigbang is the only kpop group I consider myself a fan. I became a fan 4 years ago and before that I liked many other groups. But bigbang made me stan them hard but it's a shame they enlisted soon after.

Me watching this like I wasn’t with them since the beginning 😭😭 thank you because even though I been with Bigbang since pre debut, there are still a lot in there that I didn’t know.

Bigbang Is Legend And Will Always💛 I was 17 yrs when i started listening them and now iam 27yrs and still into them. No new kpop group can replace Bigbang from my heart….They are very special….All Five of them are my love… I wish to see them live atleast once before i die🤗 Love and support from India.

kwon jiyong, dong youngbae, choi seunghyun, kang daesung, lee seunghyun VIP URI BIGBANG! never get tired chanting this ❤️❤️ oh im.getting emotional 🥹🥲

They already make a comeback but I STILL MISS THEM SO MUCH. WHYYY??? 😭

They are relevants, because they are the true and original KINGS of K pop,

This is also an evolution on style, evolution of swag, evolution of Music and most importantly evolution of Faces. Well I'm not here because of the looks but because of pure and only PURE talent, the looks are only an addition to it. They were the one who brought me into kpop and that was 2012 or 2013. Love you guys ✌️

i couldn’t agree more that HARU HARU is VIP’s anthem...no matter what people say now they can never deny how significant BIGBANG is and will still be...through the influence on the current idols to the future because BIGBANG is music not just idols...they were known despite their unpopular fashion then and their “so-called” ugly visuals but it’s their music who touched their listeners...

And some say there’s a boy group who “paved the way” 😂😂 I love BigBang so much ❤️🥹❤️

❤️Emperor of KPOP Industry😌👑👑👑👑👑

7 mins into this and here i am getting teary eyed and getting goosebumps at the same time. Bigbang is the one true legend for life ❤️‍🔥 no other later generation groups or close minded and toxic fandoms can change that.

Bigbang makes it difficult for me to be impressed by other boygroups. It’s difficult when SOME of these boygroups have received global validation, not because of their skills/talent/visuals/charisma, but because purely out of fandom hype and social media. Bigbang makes it so hard so hard for us OG kpop fans to move on from them, because they showed us what a true form of artistry is as a group and as individuals.

Bigbang represents talents standard .... beautiful voices amazing charisma .... genuis .... A humble god fearing individuals worth loving and supporting 🥰❤️💛💚🤍

13:51 indeed Bigbang started everything they successfully shaped Kpop to its height Seriously What is kpop today without Bigbang?

coz their music never dies...

I miss Big Bang and I wish for them to perform again together.

The sunset glow part got me in tears. Seeing the meaningful MV and how much ppl loved them makes me want to go back in 2006-2009. We will always stay for the music they made. So please, make lots of good music, Bigbang. This video brought so much good memories.

Superior quality has the ability to rise to the top, no matter how many setbacks there are. I'm anxious to see the future of BIGBANG and its very talented members.

I usually skip some parts on vids like this but I watched this completely. What a good introduction, I hope new fans will find this insightful and informative. ☺️💗

Well.. even now all their song is still alive. I can even listen to BIGBANG song the whole day.

BIGBANG is the STANDARD thank you always for your wonderful work 💛

Just been a fan October last year and they are the reason I became a YG Stan.

Thank you for this video! I am a new VIP since the beginning of this year and I have fallen down the rabbit hole of Bigbang. I am not new to K-Pop though so I had heard of Bigbang but unfortunately never took the time to take a good look at them. I am actually quite shocked at the misinformation that is out there about them. So many others claim to have been the first when the truth is it was always Bigbang. I am so glad I found them!

I just wanna thank you for all your work. You are doing great job for all the new future VIPs who are still going to know uri BIGBANG, for old VIPs who are always ready to shed a tear and reminisce about good times. Thank you. Your guides are probably the best. As a VIP I knew mostly all of it but I still enjoy your videos because of great editing and your undoubted love I feel even from the screen. Love to see it. VIP UNTIL WHENEVER 💛

I've been a VIP since 2008, this video of yours brought me so many memories, thank you very much for your work ❤‍🔥👑

Thank you for making these videos! I only started listening to BB this past week (I knew about them before) and am seeing so many similarities with another global group and it's super clear to me now that BB really "paved the way" for kpop. The talent of BB is incredible and I hope they continue to release music. I would love a solo album from T.O.P too!

I think youre that one channel that should do a guide for bigbang. I mean its hard for people who wanted to know them using these outdated bigbang guides on youtube. I dont see any decent guide for bigbang on youtube yet. Yes, i know mostly we VIP are old af but still it would be great to see the updated one

Thank you for featuring Bigbang with 5 members. Long Live OTP5.

everything bot bigbang makes me cry soooo hard

Thank you, thank you so much for this!!! I was in tears meanwhile seeing all my fellows VIPs happy singing and dancing our Kings's songs. So much legacy and it's only since 2006 to 2009 !!! No one never ever can reach the greatness of BIGBANG!!! VIPs FIGHTING!!!✊🏼 💛💛💛💛💛

guys i love bigbang and daesung so much it feels like im going insane like wowww their charm and talent is one in a trillion

Wow, I have been binge watching your videos and I literally forgot to comment because I was amazed at how you were able to present BIGBANG's musicality through your videos. You literally showed who they are individually and as BIGBANG. Not gonna lie, this made me nostalgic that I was able to see the memories I had with them. As Top said "I didn't spent my youth with you", but it was actually the reality. I spent most of my teenage and adult years with BIGBANG that I wasn't able to explore k-pop outside of BIGBANG (aside from 2ne1 and T-ara) while growing up. To be honest, your videos are giving me life and pain, BIGBANG are the bane and life of my existence as a VIP. This fandomily is really the definition of patience, loyalty and hope. Great work.

i'm crying. Gahd! i was 21 when i discovered Bigbang in 2009. Trying to figure out the world and my place in this world. To some 21 was already an adult, but when you get to that age, you're as clueless as you were in your teenage years. I know what i'm saying is irrelevant. But i just wanna say that everytime i hear an old Bigbang song, it always reminds me and brings me back to when i was still innocent in some ways. 10-12 years ago was hard for me but Bigbang reminds me of my happiest moment during those times. I grew up, treading through life and eventually became content of what my life is right now listening to Bigbang all throughout. As someone who's on the same age as them, i have this understanding of what they're going through. Their songs always speak to me. Now, in my early 30s and have Still Life to listen to after a long while, i'm emotional. I can't get mad of how they choose to do their music and come back. They can release one song every five years and i will still understand why their doing it that way.

ahhhh my heart,I miss them so bad... Their music is exceptional,out of this world,sooooo wonderful music they made... and that I became a VIP... I've heard Lies a lot in the past and the rest is history... Nowadays,there are a lot of groups and singers,but BB songs remains the best for me... Thank you for your music,I will always and forever will be an ot5... see you when the flowers bloom,ViP til whenever❤🧡💛💚💙

That feeling even if you have followed them since 2006 and knew everything in this video , still you keep watching it like you do not know..or you know too much , but still wanted to be reminded...that's the power of BigBang..simply inspiring ..definitely addicting..#VIPforLife

Congratulations, and thank you for your in-depth guide to BIG BANG, it is flawless! I've been a VIP since 2008, and still counting.

Congrats! This video is so Epic. As a VIP i'm so proud. 💛🖤👑

I hope members have watched this. This is so beautiful. Remembering their hardwork.

Im a long time fan. 14 years and I had no idea about the meaning of the Sunset Glow mv. You did some really good work. Every VIP should watch this and all the new kpop fans should watch this as well. But I must put a little bit of criticism. Some of the info/subtitles are going to fast and it can be hard to read. Slow it down a bit with the transitions of captions. Other than that this is an amazing video

They are on top their game before now they are famous

Good quality music from gifted Artists is timeless.

Wow, this is the most detailed video i've ever watched... I started following them since junior high school in 2009, so i only know the popular thing about them in 2006-2008 is from internet. but not this detailed, cuz there were not many English articles about kpop at that time... I just found out the meaning of "Lets go West" In SG mv is about crisis, I already had this question over a decade ago... 😅😅😅 Thanks bro... 👍🏽

No doubtttt this is the best so far😭👑💛VIP with bigbang forever ❤️‍🔥

I'm reading all comments about BigBang and can click like for everyone, I'm totally agree, VIP forever love BigBang

because they are still unsurpassed in every important thing. what social media nowadays does is spreading kpop around more, but as we can see how majority of new fans are toxic and fake fans who only jump on the hype train of kpop for some attention, this isnt a good thing at all. you can also see them always only mentioning some worthless yt views and records, that are even manipulated like with streaming, when they have to describe why they like the idols. meaning they cant even compliment their talent, their work etc, but their popularity, simply because they are fake fans. while its bigbang who paved the way for kpop, their impact was by far bigger, since they also won one of the most important awards in usa, when their popularity still wasnt as big there. meaning unlike billboards, grammys etc, they didnt get a popularity award like the other groups get nowadays there. these shows always used popular artists and gave away the awards just to gain viewers. just like mama does, how gd himself said in his diss rap against them. they are to this day still the only group where every single member is very successful as solo too, where every member is producing, writing, composing, the only group who can do absolutely everything on their own, adding dance choreos and directing their mvs too. the most similar groups are still in the 2nd gen, no 3rd gen to this day is close to them when it comes to such talents. but since kpop has become mainstream, they dont even need to, so many bad songs from certain groups are being overhyped, only because of the popularity of the groups. while they had also good songs in the past but realized they dont need to anymore to get overhyped thanks to lonely losers who want to look cool with calling themselves fans of them. thats what kpop has become, also so toxic to keep creating hate trains for literally no reason, against innocent idols out of jealousy. that was never the case before, we had haters, but their voices were very small luckily. now most of the international kpop channels are so toxic, its really sick, just like their communities.

I real need to see bigbang on stage again ❤❤❤❤

Watching your video of BB bring tears and memories to me..I've been a VIP since 2008, and now I'm a mother of 3 kids..I still follow their news and most certainly their music..BB is the only male kpop group that I've liked and it's hard for me to stan any other kpop group like I do BB..people can say anything they want about BB but for me they are 5 dork who captivated my heart..I love BB and VIP until whenever.. -love from Malaysia..

Organic, not mass streamed :) and you know individual members.

Bigbang has been topping the list for most viewed Boy Groups in YT South Korea since the start of 2024 but not a lot of people are talking about it.

There will be be Kpop group that will come and go but there will never be another BIGBANG like NEVER ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I looovveee to see this video !!! woahhh 😍😍 Very detailed and I didn't skip a thing. And thank you for featuring Big Bang with 5 members #5💛 Thank you thank you so much for making this amazing video !!! 👏🏻🎉

To br honest bigbang is more like artist rather than idol

Thank You for making this video. Im a new VIP (late of 2019) This made me apreciate and love BIGBANG OT5 more 💛

I'm glad you featured a lot of their old songs. It's hard to find them in the net. And your faves are mine too. Thanks a lot for this video.

Thank you for this...💛💛💛💛💛 It's been a long time since I was reminded of BIGBANG achievements. I'm so proud of them. 😭😭😭💛💛💛💛💛

BUT STILL, up until today, they are the Kpop boy group with unique vocal tones. Oh wait I remember iKON.

Love it. Watched couple of times while waiting for new videos. Forgot to say thank you for making these in-depth guide to BIGBANG series! So more new kpop fans get to know them better.

Ill always be a loyal vip no matter..

Hands down best VIP channel on RU-vid!!!

Grateful I’ve known bigbang

Why is this video making me cry? its great reminiscing our hardships and achievements as VIPs I miss them That it made me cry Thank you for this wonderful video BigBang is forever in Kpop And that will be a history in the future

First off, thank you for such an amazing video.. Very much appreciated.. I became a VIP in 2012/13 and even though I've been a fan since then I still have more to learn about Bigbang. I listen to diverse genre in music and I like a lot of song and artist but Bigbang is the sole artist I follow and stan up to this day.. I don't know why but I just do. Despite the scandals and controversies.. I guess their musicality just speaks for itself,. I will forever be a VIP..

Long time no see.... can't wait for the second part 🥰

Yeah, absolutely one of a kind BIGBANG! VIP since 2008, their music can't compare to other kpop, it's full package!

Oh my heart, I'm so so proud of my Kings 👑 BIGBANG VIP FOREVER

The video is missing 3 key points....YG entertainment indirectly involvement in popularity of bigbang. 1. Creative freedom. Without that bigbang couldn't flourish as they did. 2. YG's decision to go digital ( korean professor mentioned that this was the catalyst for bigbang rise in 2008). 3. YG plan to promote in JAPAN for a year. Japan music industry is the second largest in the world Proud to say im a old VIP.. since 2006. Majority of clips were all on shady website 😂but some these clips only came to me after RU-vid. Bigbang, my first look pop group. FOREVER VIP!!👑

I have no business crying at 7 fucking pm but ima do me 😭 I miss bb

Thank you for the vids.. Really miss them especially in variety shows.. Secret garden parody, big bang hip dance.. Really wishing them to not quit VIPs.. We are here until whenever

I'm a VIP since 2016 and I'm pretty sure I listen a lot of their old song since then but I think I didn't explore far enough. while they're in hiatus, I'm stanning another YG group and khh yet I'm always coming back again to bigbang every time. their music, their attitude just so awesome 💛 thanks for making this vid! gotta listen to all their song all over again

I'll be this old and still very much in love with them and I can't stop

No doubt about it, Bigbang the Kings of KPOP! Their achievements, skills, music, swag and charisma is out of this world. Truly the best. Great video.

watching this makes me wanna cry again coz i really miss Bigbang!all their songs are legendary..listening to their older songs makes me emo😔😪 there goes my youth and my OG kpop faves🥰

Todo esto gracias al talento de cada uno de los chicos pero especialmente al profesionalismo de GDragon lo sufrió con su duro trabajo desde muy pequeño tener un líder como el fue lo que hizo un gran grupo como BIGBANG. Todo el mundo conoce sus canciones amo a este grupo

thank you for this, even though i cried to the whole video i really happy watching it coz i badly miss our kings, proud vip until whenever ot5forever💛💛💛💛💛

One like from my side for putting so much effort to create such an amazing video like this...

Thank you so much for your great effort.I really want to see them on stage again. Waiting for part 2.

Bigbang has so much history and impacted kpop in such a huge way. I think a part to is in oder. Thank you for making this video ❤ edit: ops I didn't notice you made part two already.

How do I say this? Their music is timeless… year 2023, and my hubby is laughing at me when I’m listening to old songs like “last farewell”, “blue” etc LOL! I just miss them, period. I’m looking forward to GD’s comeback but of cos BIGBANG’s comeback!

This was asome 😭💛💛💛 my kings have been through a lot and it is so sad that many do not value what they represent in the industry since the beginning 🤧 Our Queen Still Life speaks for itself 👑👑👑👑 Please! Part II 🙇🏻‍♀️💕

Thank you, this is beautiful BIGBANG journey. Ill share it on my sns. Waiting for part 2 too

America has Sweet Caroline for outdoor games and Korea has Sunset Glow! Legends only! 👑

I really love bigbang so much, thank you for this video 💛

Their music are art, music that easy listening and lyrics that can relate to many people and their touch on every album make them one of a kind. In female version it might be only iu at their level of musicality

NO ONE CAN REACH TOPs LEVEL! KING!
