Big Bang ( )

Big Bang debuted last year (2006) and their grueling pre-debut training was chronicled for all to see in the Big Bang reality documentary, which was aired on the MTV channel. The band's journey to stardom started off with six boys busting their asses for a spot in the group. The teens underwent intense vocal and dance training the kind that would make any individual with lesser determination cower. As weeks went by, the young men proved that they have much passion and drive to reach their dreams, so very commendable in ones so young.

Not all of them made the cut. Initially, two were dropped - SO-1 and Seung-ri - making Big Bang a quartet. However, head honcho of YG Entertainment Yang Hyun-suk decided to give the pair a second chance. The youngest of the lot Seung-ri eventually proved that he was right for the group. And so, Big Bang debuted as a quintet at the YG Family concert on Aug 19, 2006. The band released its first full-length album in Jan 2007. While tracks from the album, and a few single albums prior to it, were practically unheard of here in Malaysia, the group hit music gold with the release of a mini-album in Aug 2007. The song Lie ( ) a get-up-and-dance track with a seriously infectious hook is currently at the top of music charts and has been receiving loads of airplay...and yes, Malaysians are hearing it loud and

clear too. (Watch the Lie MV!) Meet the boys of Big Bang: G-Dragon (G- ) A YG trainee since 12-years-old, G-Dragon is a rapper and beat-boxer.
