Hello guys! How are you guys doing? It’s been a great time writing again and again for the blog. And it’s even much more nice whenever I see my visitors’ number is getting more and more. thank you guys!

At this time, I’d like to share another Korean band. After sharing about some ballad singer like 2AM and dancing group, 2PM, it’s time for the Hip Hop band! Its name is Big Bang. For me, they’re the best hip hop band that consists of 5 members, led by G-Dragon.

Big Bang is under management of YG Entertainment. This group becomes so popular after their release of new album, “거짓말” (“Lies”). This group has been very famous for their music performance and also for their style of fashion.

Here is the list of the members:
