Television screens made them famous. Through “Big Bang documentary” aired in 2006 through the Korean channel MNET, young people fell in love with the k-pop band.
The documentary showed a entertaining side but also how one by one the members who wanted be part of the band before debuting were eliminated.
Three days after airing the last episode they gave their very first concert. The next year they released their first mini album ALWAYS. The single LIES, written by  G-DRAGON, was a massive hit.
From the very beginning the members were able to write and compose the lyrics of their own songs but they have also manage to maintain  solo careers of their own.
G-DRAGON AND SEUNGRI are also solo artists, while Taeyang has studied acting&cinema at DEAJIM UNIVERSITY.
Daesung has branched  into the musical theather field -he was part of cast for korean musical CATS- and he has experience MC-ing television shows.
