“One of the biggest international phenoms to come out of the K-pop scene, BIGBANG blew by boy band tropes by producing and writing their own music, forgoing hardcore choreography and seeing all five members find solo success. BIGBANG currently is the only K-pop act to hold two arena tours in North America and just this year tied a record on Billboard’s World Digital Songs chart only PSY had previously achieved. Their fanbase, the VIPs, are a force to be reckoned with too – they earned the Best Worldwide Act honor at the 2011 MTV EMAs and cinched Billboard’s inaugural Fan Army Face-Off in 2014. “Fantastic Baby” is also the K-pop music video with the most views on YouTube, not including PSY.”
