Tweet

There’s a saying that Korea’s idols can be divided into before and after Big Bang, and this is certainly no exaggeration. 

Singing, dancing, composing - when it comes to all things musical, they have reached a significant level where they are already recognized by experts. Not only that, but in musicals, dramas, movies, and even in variety shows, they have showed their abilities in all aspects of entertainment. As such, their influence is spreading even wider than the musical industry into Hallyu, movies, dramas, and entertainment.

Recently taking a break from group promotions and pursuing solo activities, they are appealing to the public with a charm that is different from what it was as a group. In particular, the boys of Big Bang, who were such it-items in the fashion world that they inspired the phrase ‘Big Bang fashion,’ are receiving much attention with their individual styles that are very different from their style as a group.

They have been the center of attention having been cast in the drama ‘Haru,’ which itself has been popular on Internet search engines. The drama was produced by the National Korea Tourism Organization and has been gathering interest with the casting of You-Know Yunho, Han Chae Young, Park Shi Hu, Kim Bum, Lee Da Hae, and other top stars.

Here we compare and contrast the members’ individual styles as seen in the drama ‘Haru’ with their fashions on stage as a group.

Together as a group and apart

When Big Bang released and promoted their albums as a group, they imprinted their image as a group with a single concept, wearing similar colors and materials.

At the time of their first debut on stage, their coordinated their outfits in a young hip-hope style. They showed off a fresh image in all black colors.

On the other hand, during their promotions of ‘Lies,’ the hit track that brought Big Bang to the top, they shook things up with what can definitely be called ‘Big Bang fashion.’ They took their place as fashionistas with colorful outfits and styles that matched the individual.

In particular, their hi-tops and vivid skinny jeans, bold jewelry, accessories, and other iconic items have each become their signature looks.

Unlike other idols who where the same exact thing, the members of Big Bang match their own unique individual styles to a single concept.

Solo activities with their own styles

When branching out into their solo activities, they showed off their own personal styles that they were not able to show as a group.

G-Dragon, who is known as one of Korea’s best fashionistas, was reborn through a iconic styling of his own. Especially during his promotions for his solo album, with his blinding blond hair, an elaborately tailored jacket that would be difficult for most men to pull off, and drape shirt, he garnered much attention with his styling that evidenced his own personal fashion sense.

TOP emphasizes his masculinity with sharp suits and military style looks, and highlights his personal features.

Each of their personal styles can especially be seen in the recently filmed drama ‘Haru.’

Taeyang, Seungri, and Daseung were shown wearing comfortable and simple t-shirts, whereas G-Dragon chose a vividly colored scarf and fedora. TOP again chose a military jacket, bringing his own image up a notch.
