KPOP DISCOVER's B.I.G note
B.I.G debuted from GH Entertainment in July 2014 as a six-piece built on a concept of introducing Korea. It started with J-Hoon, Benji, Gunmin, Minpyo and Heedo, and Jinseok joined later. The debut song Hello moves through sights in Japan and Korea, a world of its own that left a first impression unlike the third-generation groups arriving at the same time.
Holding on to Hello, Aphrodite and 1.2.3 as an entrance brings the range of the group into focus. Hello shows the ground where a friendly concept and forceful performance live together, Aphrodite brings out how seriously they take dance pop, and the bright pop line of 1.2.3 gives the face of the later years. The room to move between comic touches and hard dancing is what makes their music distinctive.
Rather than stopping inside Korea, they built a route of their own toward fans in the Middle East, preparing an Arabic version for Illusion, released in 2019. In 2024 the re-debut of J-Hoon, Gunmin and Jinseok and the solo work of Heedo drew talk and brought attention back to the original group. Hello, then Aphrodite, then 1.2.3 runs through the starting point of the concept, the core of the performing and the move into pop.
Editors' take Hello / Aphrodite / 1.2.3 — a GH Entertainment six-piece from a concept of introducing Korea to work abroad, in three songs.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
B.I.G stands for Boys In Groove, a name that puts musical groove out in front.
Debut song
Hello leans on a concept that introduces Korea itself, which leaves a first impression unlike a standard love song.
Arabic
An Arabic version of Illusion and several other Arabic covers point to a real connection with fans across the Middle East.
Members
Benji on violin, the side projects of Gunmin and Heedo, and the line-up after Jinseok joined are easiest to follow as three separate threads.
Official videos
Footage is split across 1theK, Stone Music, the B.I.G Official channel, the GH Entertainment channel and broadcaster feeds such as KBS, MBC and Arirang, so the source matters as much as the clip.
Catching up
New And.B and the solo work of Heedo both give a route back into the main group.
