 [ARTICLE] Being as successful as Big Bang?

Released to the public in 2006 with a total of 11 episodes the TV Show, <Real Big Bang Documentary>, demonstrated the practice and competition process though which this idol group had to through in order to make their debut. After watching their sweat and tears the general public felt sympathy for them and the premonition of the birth of a new idol was felt as well. This premonition was correct and ‘Big Bang’ became idol stars.

The arrival of Big Bang in the entertainment industry or socially had a various amount of different meanings. First of all, the groups that had previously debuted before such as ‘H.O.T’ or ‘TVXQ’ had a completely different image [than that of Big Bang]. Their [Big Bang's] charm was that very normal ‘ordinary next door boys’ appearance that they had. Nevertheless, because of their talents and the fun they had on stage, the public was very supportive of this same age group. Through the ‘real documentary’ their desperate effort to become the stars they were, was demonstrated. Because of this a new star system of ‘open auditions’ open to the public, started spreading. As a result of this, through the arrival of Big Bang a new idol was introduced to our culture.

A story concentrated on Big Bang’s debut success was published in 2009 throught their best-selling book “Shouting to the World!”. The book contained the story of the 5 members, their times before their debut and the difficulty of reaching their dreams, the passion, the effort, the patience, the tears, the practices, delivered through the voice of each member. After being published for more than 2 months, the book had already sold about 300,000 copies proving to be a great success. Their message was simple and clear. “Modern youth don’t give up on your dreams and passion and keep on going with your effort. Only then can you fulfill your dreams. Like Big Bang!’ Is that so? A lot of parents actually purchased this book. Parents with young children want them to be heard and to be succesful. (?) But this story seems familiar from somewhere, that’s because recently in Korean society this kind of ‘pursuit of success’ or ‘self-development’ speech is very popular.

Can I really be successful like Big Bang? You can be successful just like Big Bang, children can dream with a variety of possibilities that can come true with will and passion.
