Group Big Bang opened the curtain on their world tour. The cosmic festival that proved their worth demonstrated why they are called a living legend.
Big Bang successfully completed 'BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS > IN GOYANG, presented by Coupang Play' at the Goyang Sports Complex main stadium from the 21st to the 23rd and raised the anchor for their 20th anniversary world tour.
The set list, performances and stage command that condensed 20 years of time vividly showed why Big Bang is the "icon of K-pop," and the concert where they became one with their fans shook with that intense heat. It was a moment when another unforgettable page was completed for Big Bang and V.I.P (the fandom name).
Big Bang, still exuding charisma with "FANTASTIC BABY," nonstop delivered era-defining hits such as "LOSER," "BAE BAE," "BANG BANG BANG," "Haru Haru (HARU HARU)," "LIE (거짓말)", "SUNSET GLOW (붉은 노을)," and "LAST FAREWELL (마지막 인사)." From iconic songs that make the body react at the intro to "HANDS UP," "TONIGHT" and "STUPID LIAR," they summoned past memories and blew away the midsummer heat in an instant.
Big Bang infused sincere feelings for V.I.P, who have stood by them for a long time, throughout the stage. The members, who directly participated in the overall production to share deeper and more musical communication with fans, meticulously composed a set list of more than 30 songs. From stage design to overall direction, they heavily imbued it with Big Bang's unique scent.
Solo and duet stages showcasing each member's musical colors in ballad·hip-hop·pop·trot also drew enthusiastic cheers from fans. In particular, the newly released song "BiiiG," unveiled for the first time that day, was undoubtedly the highlight. The members poured explosive energy and performance over a fast-paced beat, driving the audience into a frenzy.
The overwhelming sound and production scale of YG, the "performance powerhouse," were enough to satisfy the senses. Centered on wow Jones, who has worked with Usher·Post Malone·Rihanna, a top-tier band session joined to perform full live renditions of every song, and the choreography performed by 20 dancers maximized the sense of vitality. In addition, Mike Carson, who directed the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, and Es Devlin, who handled the stage design for the 2012 London Olympic closing ceremony, contributed to raising the stage's completeness.
The mobile LED structure, weighing around 23 tons, incorporated "multi-motor torque synchronization" technology. Through this, the massive structure slid smoothly and accurately without shaking, perfectly realizing the vast "COSMOS universe."
The VCR narrative that moved from "BIGBANG" to "CHAOS" and then to "COSMOS," which carries order and harmony, was a singular scale only Big Bang could achieve. Special effects such as sensory graphics that changed moment by moment, lighting, lasers and pyrotechnics representing planets, constellations and the moon delivered an intense sense of immersion.
On the 19th, the members, who opened the curtain on their 20th anniversary world tour with the new digital single [BiiiG], released after about four years and four months, expressed overwhelming feelings about Big Bang's returning "clock." The members said they were happy to meet together again in a large venue after a long time, saying, "There is nothing more beautiful than the process of sharing and growing over 20 years," and added, "The most important existence is V.I.P! You are Big Bang, and you yourselves are a great emotion to us." The fans filling the seats responded with bangbong (light sticks). Yellow, white and blue lights changed moment by moment, creating a spectacle, and the members on stage and the audience in the seats became one without boundaries to create the vast "Big Bang universe."
