BIGBANG are preparing to honour two decades at the top of K-pop with a landmark celebration in Seoul.<\/p>\n
\nThe anniversary festivities begin on August 19, when Coupang Play hosts a free fan event titled Coupang Play X BIGBANG 20th Anniversary X Han River Collaboration at Yeouido Han River Park\u2019s Water Light Stage.<\/p>\n
\nThe one-night celebration promises an immersive tribute to the group\u2019s legacy. Fans will be treated to a DJ set reimagining BIGBANG\u2019s biggest hits, alongside a career-spanning visual retrospective charting their rise from trainees to global icons. Organisers say the event is designed to let audiences \u201cstep inside\u201d BIGBANG\u2019s musical universe, with a focus on dynamic staging and large-scale visual storytelling.<\/p>\n
\nAs the evening unfolds, the park will transform into a full multimedia spectacle. A custom media-art installation will bring the \u201cBIGBANG universe\u201d to life with orchestral soundscapes and cinematic lighting, before the night culminates in a drone show over the Han River and a fireworks finale. Reservations open on July 28, via the Coupang Play app, with entry limited to Coupang Wow members and strict ID checks in place to prevent fraud.<\/p>\n
\nThe free event comes ahead of a massive new stadium tour that will take the group across the world for the first time since 2017.<\/p>\n
\nG-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung will kick off the tour with a three-night homecoming at Goyang Stadium from August 21 to 23, before heading to Oakland, East Rutherford, Paris, London, Sydney, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Osaka, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Kaohsiung.<\/p>\n
\nThe tour follows the trio\u2019s high-profile reunion at Coachella 2026, where they finally took the stage after their originally planned 2020 appearance was cancelled due to the pandemic. Their return came after months of speculation about the group\u2019s future, fuelled by G-Dragon\u2019s comments during his \u00dcbermensch tour finale in Seoul in late 2025. Taeyang and Daesung joined him for a surprise mini-set, performing Home Sweet Home, We Like 2 Party and Fool of Tears.<\/p>\n
\nSince debuting under YG Entertainment in 2006, BIGBANG have shaped the global trajectory of K-pop with hits including Lie, Last Farewell and Bang Bang Bang, building a global fanbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BIGBANG are preparing to honour two decades at the top of K-pop with a landmark celebration in Seoul.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2941,2969,2970,2915,2978,2922,2928,1754,2937,2960,2957,50016,2950,2931,2973,2945,2980,2990,2989,2948,2924,2974,304,2918,2965,2977,2985,2986,2940,2968,1944,2961,2984,2979,2919,2932,2925,2916,2939,2927,2936,2972,2942,2983,2954,2943,2917,2947,2982,2964,1408,2914,2934,2988,2946,154,2958,2933,2944,2921,2949,2966,2956,968,2211,1049,2930,2926,2981,2952,2920,112,2929,2987,2971,2953,1022,2959,2963,2962,2955,308,2967,2951,2938,2935,2923,2975,2976],"class_list":["post-96098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-seoul","tag-nsync","tag-2969","tag-albums","tag-alternative","tag-angst","tag-artists","tag-ash","tag-audio","tag-backstreet-boys","tag-beatles","tag-beck","tag-bigbang-to-mark-20-years-with-huge-seoul-celebration-ahead-of-global-stadium-tour-music","tag-blink-182","tag-blur","tag-books","tag-britney-spears","tag-buy-tickets","tag-cd","tag-cds","tag-christina-aguilera","tag-classic","tag-competitions","tag-concerts","tag-dance","tag-david-bowie","tag-e-cards","tag-e-mail","tag-email","tag-eminem","tag-fifty","tag-films","tag-foo-fighters","tag-free","tag-gigs","tag-hardcore","tag-hendrix","tag-hip-hop","tag-indie","tag-korn","tag-lennon","tag-limp-bizkit","tag-live","tag-madonna","tag-magazine","tag-manics","tag-marilyn-manson","tag-metal","tag-metallica","tag-microsoft-media-player","tag-moby","tag-music-news","tag-music-news-reviews","tag-muzik","tag-my","tag-nelly","tag-news","tag-nirvana","tag-oasis","tag-pearl-jam","tag-pop","tag-prince","tag-prodigy","tag-pulp","tag-quotes","tag-rb","tag-radio","tag-radiohead","tag-rap","tag-real-audio","tag-rem","tag-rock","tag-seoul","tag-sex-pistols","tag-shop","tag-singles","tag-smashing-pumpkins","tag-soul","tag-stereophonics","tag-stone-roses","tag-suede","tag-supergrass","tag-tickets","tag-top","tag-travis","tag-u2","tag-underworld","tag-video","tag-webcasts","tag-webchats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
