BIGBANG’s legacy: How the members avoid disbandment and why an 8-year delay is good for music



BIGBANG surprised many with their big comeback with the new single “Fxxk It” and their full-length album “MADE.” This marks the group’s first comeback after a three-year hiatus.

“MADE” is only BIGBANG’s third full-length album in the course of 10 years in the industry. For the group, the delay is not so much a bad thing as long as they are able to release a better album.
G-Dragon narrated that the album could’ve been released last year, but they postponed it because they noticed that it was lacking in many ways, allkpop reported. He noted that all of the members are perfectionists that why it took another year to complete “MADE.”
G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P, Daesung and Seungri have been together as a group for over 10 years now and they have learned a lot together throughout the years. As to their music, G-Dragon said in an interview with Newsis that they tend to work on different genres. As they study their music, the music also changes.
He explained that while most groups prefer to stick to one genre to develop a clear identity, such is not the case for BIGBANG. “Bringing different genres of music is the most BIGBANG thing to do and also a challenge while being fun for us,” G-Dragon said, as quoted by allkpop.

A lot of idol groups have come and gone in the last decade. Case in point, BIGBANG’s YG Entertainment label mate 2NE1 disbanded early this month. When asked how all five of them remain a strong united front, G-Dragon said that it’s all about respect, sacrifice and love. T.O.P added that having different personalities also helped them get along.
“We’re all such different personalities that we complement each other. We’ve never had a serious argument,” T.O.P said.
BIGBANG scored an overkill with their comeback, having three tracks from “MADE” top the charts locally and worldwide.
