Group BIGBANG (BIGBANG) has dominated major domestic music charts with their new song 'BiiiG' released to celebrate their 20th debut anniversary. This further proves the immense presence of the 'K-pop legend'.

According to YG Entertainment, the agency representing BIGBANG, the group's new single 'BiiiG', released at 6 p.m. on the 19th, immediately topped real-time charts on major domestic music platforms including Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Vibe. As of 8 a.m., it continues to hold the top position. This result reflects the intense anticipation and trust from music fans who have eagerly awaited a new song after approximately four years and four months.

Notably on Melon, 'BiiiG' broke the record for the highest number of users within one hour of release among songs released in 2026, directly reaching No. 1 on the Top 100 chart. It is rare to reach the top of this chart, which ranks based on combined usage over the past 24 hours and the most recent hour, in just one hour. Additionally, BIGBANG achieved the so-called 'roof kick'—the highest real-time market share measurement—nine times, demonstrating their powerful influence.

YG Entertainment stated, "Most significantly, this confirms once again BIGBANG's status as a 'present-tense legend,' standing firmly at the top even 20 years after their debut. While maintaining their unique identity that combines broad popularity and original artistic expression, they continue to draw strong responses from music fans through their musical spectrum that perfectly absorbs new moods each time, explosive rapping and vocals showcasing their accumulated expertise, and lyrics filled with confidence and witty wordplay."

The music video, designed with a festive atmosphere to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their debut, has also received great love. Reactions highlight how the vivid visuals, centered on vibrant colors and elements connected to the group's identity—such as a truck flying through space, light sticks (bang-bong), and sets symbolizing their second album title track 'Red Sunset'—create an immersive experience. Furthermore, the members' unparalleled aura that captivates viewers at every moment, along with some unveiled performances, have earned praise, propelling the video to No. 1 on YouTube's Worldwide Trending and Rising Music charts.

Capitalizing on this momentum, BIGBANG will begin their debut 20th-anniversary world tour 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS >' starting in Goyang for three days from the 21st. The group will embark on a grand journey across 33 concerts in 19 cities worldwide, including North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. In addition, they plan to carry out various projects to vividly celebrate their 20th anniversary.
