Top idol group Big Bang’s one year world tour
has finally come to a close.
On January 25-27, Big Bang held their Seoul
Concert at the Olympic Stadium in front of 40,000 fans to hold their “Big Bang
Alive Galaxy Tour” Finale stage.
Last March, Big Bang started their world tour
in Seoul and now one year later, Big Bang is also closing their world tour with
three concerts in Seoul.
From March 2, 2012 to January 27, 2013, Big
Bang traveled to 12 counties and 24 cities for a total of 48 performances in
front of 800,000 fans. Their concerts gained much attention even without any
official promotions.
Big Bang spent 108 days of the year overseas
with 7,200 minutes of performance time, a total of 1,283 songs, 445 staff
members and 144 outfits. Also in Japan, they were the first Korean
artist to perform at the 3 domes. During their world tour, they performed at
the domes 6 times.
Big Bang, who debuted in 2006, is now already
8 years into the business. This world tour was a big step for them as a group
and was able to spread their music globally.
During the tour, they were able to create
dynamic performances due to their “Alive”, “Still Alive” and G-Dragon’s solo
One of a Kind album. They were also accompanied by a live session as well.
All 20 of their songs were different and were
filled with energy and power. Their professional yet free spirits on stage
revealed their true passion for music and their fans.
During their press conference before their
concert, Taeyang commented, “We were able to create
many memories while being overseas. It was also a great experience in that we
were able to spread our music and show our potential.”
Member Daesung commented, “Our
songs have an extra something that sets us apart from the rest. Even when
listening to the same song, you will notice that our style is a bit different.”
Member Seungri commented, “It
was an honor to perform in front of all of our fans. I was so happy that K-Pop
was known and loved by many people around the world. It is because of our
teamwork and our hope and passion that led us to where we are now.”
T.O.P commented, “I was able to feel the
power of K-Pop and Big Bang through this tour. We now feel responsible for
showing new and improved images to our fans.”
Leader G-Dragon commented, “There
were many countries that we were visiting for the first time. We were shocked
and happy to see people of different ethnicities and languages coming together
through K-Pop.”
An YG Entertainment official
commented, “Throughout this year, we were able to see a surprising
growth in the group. The agency was so proud to see the group grow as people
and an artist through this tour. It is surprising to see that it’s already been
8 years since their debut. The members became even closer after this tour.”
At their last concert in Seoul, they revealed
a cake that had a world map on it that pinpointed all the countries that they
visited during the tour. They yelled, “We will take over the world”.
Big Bang will continue to strive to be their
best and bring wonderful music to their fans.
This year, G-Dragon will be holding his solo
world tour, T.O.P will be coming out in a movie, Daesung will be releasing a
solo Japan album and more.
