BIGBANG mark 20th anniversary with trio comeback single 'BiiiG'

BIGBANG return to the spotlight with their digital single 'BiiiG' on August 19 at 6 p.m. KST, celebrating their 20th anniversary and introducing their first official release as a trio. This marks their first new song in over four years and the first time G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung present music together since the group transitioned to three members.

In the fast-changing world of K-pop, reaching a 20-year milestone is a rare achievement. BIGBANG choose to focus on the present rather than nostalgia with 'BiiiG.' According to YG Entertainment, the track aims to capture the group's current identity most clearly, using a title that directly echoes their name and legacy.

Teasers for 'BiiiG' have offered fans a glimpse of the group's signature energy, featuring sharp beats and the repeated lyric "Big." The new single signals a fresh chapter, with members highlighting their individuality through vibrant visuals and bold styling in the promotional materials.

Tracing their career, BIGBANG made a major impact starting in 2007 with chart-topping hits like "Lies," "Last Farewell," and "Haru Haru." The group continued to break new ground with songs such as "Fantastic Baby," "Bad Boy," "LOSER," and "BANG BANG BANG." Each release brought something different, mixing melodies, electronic sounds, hip-hop, EDM, and R&B, while always maintaining a distinct BIGBANG identity.

The group never relied on a single musical formula. Instead, they embraced change as their trademark, experimenting with genres and visuals on every album. Their bold approach often set new trends and helped them build both a devoted fandom and broad public appeal.

After periods of inactivity, BIGBANG's influence became even clearer. Their 2022 single "Still Life" topped major digital music charts in Korea even without broadcast promotions, showing their continued popularity. Unlike their high-energy anthems of the past, "Still Life" offered a calm reflection on the seasons and the passage of time, resonating with listeners and proving the group's versatility.

Following T.O.P's departure, the group focused on individual activities. G-Dragon, Taeyang, and Daesung each maintained a strong presence with solo projects. Their recent collaboration on "HOME SWEET HOME" further demonstrated the synergy among the three, with the song reaching number two on the Melon year-end chart in 2025.

With 'BiiiG,' BIGBANG bring their name to the forefront once again. The single's teasers feature not only rhythmic and sharp beats but also surreal visuals and styling that emphasize each member's unique character. The group will soon embark on a tour, starting in Goyang and visiting 19 cities worldwide for a total of 33 shows.

Despite lineup changes and long breaks, BIGBANG continue to draw attention with every release. Their ability to attract both longtime supporters and new fans highlights the enduring strength of their music and brand. The group's journey with 'BiiiG' is set to add another chapter to their legacy as they move forward as a trio.
