YG Entertainment, a leading record and music label in Korea, launched the Big Bang Korean band. The band is a boy band comprised of five local singers. Their initial foray into music achieved only lukewarm success. By the time their album entitled Lies was released they had garnered mainstream popularity.
The band was formed in 2005 and 2006 and made up of previously known singers who had had different levels of success in the Korean music industry. The Big Bang Korean band has G-Dragon as its leader followed by a vocalist known as Taeyang both of whom were already signed by YG Entertainment since the age of 12. The other two members - T.O.P was a popular rap star and Seungri was introduced to the music industry following his win on a music talent show. Before the record label released the new boy band they were provided formal training and then launched. There is, in fact, a documentary, which covers their journey before selection and includes scenes of singing and dancing lessons.
