1. BIGBANG (빅뱅) is a three-piece Hip-Hop/R&B group from Seoul, South Korea. The group was created by YG Entertainment, 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.
BIGBANG 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, BIGBANG 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, BIGBANG 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, BIGBANG 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, BIGBANG 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, BIGBANG 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. Later they embarked on their first ever World Tour visiting 25 cities in 16 countries.
Fans of BIGBANG are known as VIPs. Their official light stick is a signature yellow crown, which reflects BIGBANG's title as the Kings.

2. BigBang is a Norwegian rock band led by frontman Øystein Greni. Over several years the band lineup has altered several times while remaining a trio, with Greni remaining the one constant member. Though the band name spelling is inconsistent, it is usually styled as BigBang.
BigBang were formed in 1992 by Øystein Greni, Erik Tresselt and Christer Engen. Throughout the years the band's line-up has changed several times. As of 2007 it consists of Øystein Greni, Olaf Olsen (who joined in 1999) and Lasse Weeden. Øystein Greni is the only person who has always been a member of the band, and he is also commonly seen as the band's front figure, as he writes almost all the songs as well as being the lead vocalist and guitarist. Greni has been in much dispute by some of the former members of the band, saying that he is a musical tyrant with a singular path and anyone who doesn't follow the same road he does, he simply fires.
The band hit it big with the song Girl In Oslo and in this song and most of BigBangs later material the prominent feature is lyrics with directly translated norwegian figures of speech and powerful imagery. A staple of a BigBang song is the catchy guitar and bass riff along with the metaphorically compact lyrics.
Dubbed Norway’s Greatest Live Band, BigBang are known for their thrilling performances and have been a major force in the Norwegian music scene for over a decade. In 2007, the band moved to California to focus on the American market. They toured the country, playing intimate gigs and promoting their American début From Acid to Zen, a compilation of songs from previously released albums.
After their 2013 album The Oslo Bowl, Øystein Greni began to work on a solo project for several years. His album Pop Noir was released on 24 March 2017, with the Norwegian band suggesting on their Facebook page that it featured a collaboration with 'G-Dragon on "You Got IT"!' (probably as a joke).
Members:
Øystein Greni (Guitar, vocals)
Olaf Olsen (Drums, percussion and backing vocals)
Nikolai Eilertsen (Bass, backing vocals)
So In Love
Bigbang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And meets the worst
I came walking along and I
I came first
What will I do here now I said
I better quench my thirst
I woke up and stood up and said what's up then I
I looked around
Look what I found
I couldn't even think straight let alone
Make a sound
I was so in love with who I thought you were
I was in the air
I was so in love with who I thought you were
And it wasn't fair
I sat down and thought for awhile then I
I heard a ring
I looked up to see that the white moths were
Were on the wing
Heaven and wood seemed to have
He'd be in the lead
Become one thing
The lyrics to Bigbang's song So In Love describe the singer's experience of having his expectations shattered in a romantic relationship. The first line presents a paradoxical scenario where the best and the worst converge, indicating a state of confusion or uncertainty. The singer seems to have arrived late to a situation that has already played out, and his hopes have been dashed by the reality of the situation. He tries to cope by distracting himself with superficial things like quenching his thirst or looking around, but deep down, he is devastated by the contrast between who he thought his partner was and who they turned out to be.
The second verse opens with the singer reflecting on his emotional state, as he tries to come to terms with the situation. He is overwhelmed with despair and appears helpless in the face of the reality of the situation. At this point, he appears to have a moment of clarity and realizes that he needs to move on from his romantic feelings for this person. He proceeds to do so by acknowledging that he was so in love with the false impression he had of his partner, but now he has to face the truth. The final line of the verse is ambiguous but can be interpreted as a reference to the idea that opposites attract, and that even though he and his partner were incompatible, there was a divine plan that brought them together.
Overall, the song So In Love is a deeply emotional and introspective portrayal of the complexities of romantic relationships. The lyrics highlight the pain of having your expectations shattered, the struggle to come to terms with reality, and the realization that sometimes moving on is the best option. Through passionate vocals and evocative songwriting, Bigbang paints a picture of a person who is heartbroken but still has hope for the future.

Where the best comes to an end
The point where everything seems to be at its peak and starts to decline
And meets the worst
And then goes downhill
I came walking along and I
I arrived on the scene
I came first
I was the first one there
What will I do here now I said
I pondered what I should do next
I better quench my thirst
I decided to satisfy my needs first
I woke up and stood up and said what's up then I
I woke up and stood up and asked for an update
I looked around
I scoped out my surroundings
I wanted to scream out to everyone
I had an overwhelming urge to announce to everyone
Look what I found
That I had found something of great value
I couldn't even think straight let alone
I was so disoriented that I couldn't even
Make a sound
Speak up
I was so in love with who I thought you were
I was deeply infatuated with the version of you that I had created in my mind
I was in the air
I was on cloud nine
I was so in love with who I thought you were
I was unequivocally smitten with my idealized version of you
And it wasn't fair
But it wasn't a realistic or fair portrayal of you
I sat down and thought for awhile then I
I took a moment to contemplate
I heard a ring
I heard something that caught my attention
I looked up to see that the white moths were
I raised my gaze and saw that the white moths were
Were on the wing
In flight
Heaven and wood seemed to have
It seemed as if heaven and wood had
He'd be in the lead
Taken the lead
Become one thing
Merged into one entity
