Big Bang (Korean: 빅뱅) is a Korean musical group of five, with both vocals and rap styles. When they first debuted, they were considered to be the new face of the YG Family, a pet name for their management company YG Entertainment. Although their debut was somewhat successful, it was not until the release of "거짓말" ("Lies") that the group gained success. Big Bang have been noted for their music as well as their fashionable clothing, becoming famous throughout the country in the process.
Musical stylesBig Bang's music style can be classified for the most part as hip pop music (as seen with the songs "La, La, La" and "Good Bye Baby"), with a little vibe of R&B (as seen with the songs "We Belong Together" and "Together Forever"), dance ("Shake It") and mainstream ("This Love") music. Rock with "Oh My Friend".Finally, becoming the greatest hit songs of 2007, (as seen with the songs "Lies", "Last Farewell", and "Haru Haru (Day By Day)") electronica is seemingly becoming the new music trend in Korea. However, the members have branched out into different genres in their solo work, including singing ballads and mainstream pop music. Big Bang even once mentioned in an interview that if they want to, they might do trot someday. Daesung's first digital single, "Look at Me, GwiSun" ("날 봐, 귀순"), was a trot song, which had been somewhat controversial considering Big Bang's primary focus on hip-hop.
The members of Big Bang often contribute to writing lyrics for their own music as well as composing despite only debuting in 2006. The most notable from the group to compose and write is leader G-Dragon, as he has composed and written numerous songs for the group, including "Lies", "Last Farewell", which would later become the group's gateway to stardom.[citation needed] Aside from G-Dragon, the others members have contributed to writing lyrics as well. T.O.P has also written a song for their third mini album Stand up, called "Good Man". On a whole, Big Bang has received praises from critics, fans, and other singers alike for contributions to their own materials.

Dance style
Big Bang often rely on free style and street dancing (as evidenced in their music video for "Good Bye Baby"). They are choreographed by world-class choreographer Shaun Evaristo, (as seen in "Number 1" and "With U" music videos) who also choreographs their concerts and Tae-Yangs solo projects. They also do break dancing as well. Like the popular boy band [Shinhwa], Big Bang's own unique style of dancing is credited to a member of theirs, SeungRi. Seung-Ri has choreographed some of Big Bang's moves (such as jump rope dance from "Last Farewell") and has been noted for this.
