It is no secret that BIGBANG is one of today's top Kpop idols at home and abroad. Just recently, the five-member boy band looks back on their meteoric rise in the entertainment industry ever since they debuted in 2006.
Just a day after they released their third full-length album, titled "MADE," on Dec. 12, Monday, BIGBANG attended a sit-down interview with a group of local media. There, the five members reminisced about their early career packed with hectic schedules, both musical and non-musical.
"Our days started by taking lessons from 10 a.m., cleaning up the exercise room and passing out at night," Yonhap News Agency quoted G-Dragon as saying. "As soon as we had our debut, we performed in televised shows and all sorts of entertainment shows and events that we attended."
After that, the boy band came back to the company and worked on their dance moves and continued checking for modifications. The group's leader went ahead to say that they wrote their songs, recorded them, and after that, they had their own concerts to perfect.
For G-Dragon, every new album is a fresh challenge, but the task has become increasingly daunting. He admitted that preparing for a new album each year has been difficult and that hitting a jackpot with one album is not exactly the happiest thing since it raises the present expectations for the next work.
Despite a decade of glory, BIGBANG still fears losing fans' affection. They believe fabulousness was what has kept them on a roll, believing the group may call it off as soon as the public starts to see them lose the glitter.
According to G-Dragon, if people start to think he and his bandmates have gone bad, they themselves will be the first to feel that and that will be the moment they probably stop. He added that a BIGBANG that is not fabulous just is not BIGBANG.
G-Dragon's remark was favored by fellow member Taeyang, 28, who said that if one really want it to work, then they better keep up their fabulousness. He added, "I hope I can spot (the moment that we lose ours) so that we can quit as quick as possible (without the public seeing it)."
This comes after BIGBANG's long-awaited "MADE" album ruled over major charts at home and abroad. The said full-length album recently topped the iTunes album charts in more than 15 countries, according to Osen.
