“Big Bang or Bigbang (Korean: 빅뱅; stylized as BIGBANG) is a South Korean boy group under the management of YG Entertainment. Formed in 2006, the group consists of G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri. Big Bang is known for their unique music and urban-based fashion style. Source: WikipediaSo, the reasons why I love Bigbang or a particular member... There's really no particular reason I have to say. These five guys have a particular charm; Something that average idols don't have. It's not swag or an act. They are simply… themselves. They lay themselves bare and work hard. There was this one time where they were even hospitalized because they worked too much. It was around their debut. And that was almost 7 years ago. Our boys had really come a long way, don't you think? I wasn't VIP until earlier this year. It was around April, I think. When Fantastic Baby was popular in 2012, I paid exactly 0% interest on them. I thought they only tried and asked once. I've never liked K-Pop either. But I was forced to do it; since my friends are die-hard K-Pop lovers. I despised GD's hair, TOP's tilted head, Taeyang's shirt (he should always be shirtless), Daesung's tuft of blonde hair covering his eyes, and Seungri trying to be sexy. But it was hot then; I can't help but follow him. Earlier this year I started watching Running Man. I was introduced to the world of K in a different light. I never knew Koreans could be so funny, so creative. I started listening to LeesSang and also Kim Jong Kook. And then, like all other fans, I started reading fan fiction. But there weren't many fan fictions about Running Man. So one day I came across a story about Jiyong. It was a translated version. But… middle of paper… I discovered this amazing group of artists and also their fandom. VIPs actually have calm and more rational thinking than other fandoms. They are also friendly. I have made friends all over the world just by being a VIP. It's great, right? How 5 men can bring us all together without doing anything but making music. “The most important songs that moved the world forward were songs about love. If we can all come together... we can make a difference.”-Stevie Wonder during MAMA 2013His speech reminded me of Bigbang. This fandom has brought us all together regardless of age, religion and even location. I'm grateful to have these 5 as motivation. They made me realize my dreams and also kept me going. They made my day with their voices. I love Bigbang and fandom! I can proudly say that I am a VIP and always will be.
