1) BIGBANG (빅뱅) is a five member hip-hop/pop group from Seoul, South Korea. The group was created by YG Entertainment Inc. through a long audition process which aired on TV as a 10 episode documentary. They made their debut at the YG Family 10th Anniversary Concert on August 19th, 2006.
Big Bang has been labelled as the "Revolutionary Group of Korean Music Wave" for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music, most notably G-Dragon's, has earned them respect and praise from music industry experts.
During their first year, Big Bang was criticized for being "too short" and "too ugly" for an idol group. Sales from their early hip-hop singles and first studio album BigBang Vol. 1 were disappointing. The group's turning point came with their hit song Lies, which stayed at number one on Korean charts for a record-breaking seven consecutive weeks. Their follow up releases, Hot Issue and Stand Up, furthered their success, spawning hits such as Last Farewell and Haru Haru. From 2007 to 2008, Big Bang received many awards, including "Best Male Group", "Song of the Year", "Artist of the Year", and the Grand Award at the Seoul Music Awards.
From 2009 to 2010, Big Bang expanded their endeavors to Japan, and were voted "the Korean group that Japanese fans wish to see the most". They became the first foreign group awarded to receive the "Best Newcomer" award from the Japan Cable Broadcasting Station and "Best New Artist" at MTV Japan. Amidst their Japanese group promotions, the members branched out to do solo activities. Taeyang, G-Dragon, and Seungri have released solo albums. G-Dragon and T.O.P also collaborated on an album under the sub-unit GD & TOP. Seungri and Daesung have acted in both TV dramas and musicals. T.O.P became a highly acclaimed film / TV drama star. Daesung hosted many of Korea's most popular variety TV shows.
After nearly a two-year hiatus in Korea, Big Bang reunited in 2011 with their successful album Tonight. However, promotions were cut short when multiple members encountered legal issues. In November 2011, representing the Asia-Pacific region, Big Bang emerged as the inaugural "Best Worldwide Act" winner at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. This was the first time in six months where all five members were seen together. In 2012, Big Bang released their 5th Mini Album Alive in Korea and Japan. They are currently embarking on their first ever World Tour visiting 25 cities in 16 countries.
Fans of Big Bang are known as VIPs. Their official light stick is a signature yellow crown, which reflects Big Bang's title as the Kings.

Big Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m still alive
I’m still alive
죽어가는 듯 보이지만 죽지 않아
남들의 시선을 피해 결코 숨지 않아
언제나 보란 듯이 끝까지 추락하지만
I’m alive
과거는 뒤로하고 Jump out
깊이 떨어지고 있는
내 모습이 아름다워 지금
내 자신을 하늘에 던져 난 자유로워
이 순간만큼은 난 살아있어
I’m still alive
나를 사랑하는 그녀가 불행해 보여
자취를 감추네 대중들이 두려워
많은 동경과 환호 정서불안
죽음에 대해 고뇌해 괴로운 밤
내 젊음의 유품은 사진뿐
내 청춘은 남들의 장식품
영적인 기를 받는 내 감성
네가 보지 못한 미래 난 봤어
내 인생 멜로디는 내가 지휘해
고조되는 Climax 를 즐기네
내게 미친 소녀들은 똑똑해
자격지심 너를 가지고 놀기에
사람들 다 떠나도 모두가 등을
돌려도 가여운듯한 내 모습에
너 동정해도
세상은 안된다고 내게 말하지만
그 날의 울고 있던 난 지금 웃고 있어
언제나 보란 듯이 끝까지 추락하지만
I’m alive
난 더 이상 잃을게 없어 과거는
뒤로하고 Jump out
깊이 떨어지고 있는 내 모습이
아름다워 지금
내 자신을 하늘에 던져 난 자유로워
이 순간만큼은 난 살아있어
I’m still alive I’m still alive
I’m still alive I’m still alive
I’m livin’ that I’m livin’ that good life
I’m still alive I’m still alive
I’m still alive
We livin’ that we livin’ that good life
Ye 소리 없이 사라진 함성 대신에
탄식 섞인 탄성
이 감성시대의 내 반성은 찬송
양성보다 무서운 악성방송
각성하라 아무개나 a-yo 단정 말아
아무 때나
난 죽어가는 듯 보이지만 죽지
않아 남들의 시선을 피해
결코 숨지 않아
그 손가락질은 내가 아직
이슈라는 증거
실망과 기대 이유와 근거
입에 오르락내리락해 구설수
날 기다리는 건 양지바른 무덤뿐
사람들 다 떠나도 모두가 등을
돌려도 가여운듯한 내 모습에
너 동정해도
세상은 안된다고 내게 말하지만
그 날의 울고 있던 난 지금 웃고 있어
언제나 보란 듯이 끝까지 추락하지만
I’m alive
난 더 이상 잃을게 없어
과거는 뒤로하고 jump out
깊이 떨어지고 있는
내 모습이 아름다워 지금
내 자신을 하늘에 던져 난 자유로워

I’m still alive I’m still alive I’m still alive
I’m livin’ that I’m livin’ that good life
I’m still alive I’m still alive I’m still alive
We livin’ that we livin’ that good life
In the song “Still Alive” by Big Bang, the singer is expressing his resilience in the face of adversity. He acknowledges that while he may appear to be dying, he is still alive and will not be overcome by the judgment of others. Though he has experienced failure, he has nothing left to lose and is able to move on from the past, jumping out into the unknown with confidence. He recognizes that his image may cause pity or concern from those around him, but refuses to be weighed down by their sympathy. Instead, he finds beauty in his struggles and finds freedom in his own sense of self.
Along with the theme of perseverance and self-acceptance, the lyrics of “Still Alive” also touch on the topic of social anxiety and societal pressure. The singer acknowledges the struggle of living up to others’ expectations and the emotional toll it can take on him, but ultimately finds joy in his own unique perspective and experiences. The chorus of the song serves as a declaration of his continued existence and determination to live life on his own terms.
