In 30 seconds: BIGSTAR
No single release broke wide, so the group tends to be found backwards, through Feeldog's dance work and UNB or Raehwan's later projects.
Worth digging into if you like following members' later careers back to where they started.

From debut to now
- 2012Bigstart and Hot Boy opened the account in July, and Blossom in October extended an early catalogue running to Thinking of You and I Got the Feeling.
- 2013Hang Out carried Run & Run into the 2nd mini album stretch, and the digital single Standing Alone kept a mid-career promoted song on the books.
- 2014Japanese activity on the scale of 100 shows is talked about from this stretch, while digital singles around Forget U kept the Korean catalogue moving.
- 2015Shine a Moon Light and Full Moon Shine showed mature vocal and dance songs, different in kind from the momentum of the debut.
- 2017Feeldog, Raehwan, Sunghak and Jude took part in The Unit, which strengthened the way back into the group itself for late arrivals.
- 2018Feeldog worked in UNB, the act that came out of The Unit, showing his presence as the dance lead of BIGSTAR by another route.
- 2019Contracts with Brave Entertainment ran out and group activity ended, leaving routes under individual names, with Raehwan moving to a new act and Baram working as Amón.

KPOP DISCOVER's BIGSTAR note
What anchors BIGSTAR is the sound and the dancing of the Brave Brothers school. Brave Entertainment debuted the five-piece boy group in 2012, and Hot Boy and Think put that production colour and dance character out front, placing them in the mid-tier boy group context of the early 3rd generation.
The way in runs Hot Boy, Think, Full Moon Shine. Watch the momentum of the debut, then the signature dance song, then the matured later material, and the working history of BIGSTAR comes into view quickly. Activity in Japan was busy as well.
Feeldog went through The Unit and worked in UNB as well, and Raehwan set out again with an act of his own. Group activity ended when the contracts ran out in 2019, but the routes under individual names still lead back to the group. Hot Boy, then Think, then Full Moon Shine covers the momentum, the dancing and the maturity.
Editors' take Hot Boy / Think / Full Moon Shine — three songs carry the sound and dancing of the Brave Brothers school, from a five-piece of the early 3rd generation who ran from 2012 to 2019.
Trivia worth knowing
Brave lineage
True to the Brave Entertainment house style, the early singles push hard beats and dance showcases to the front.
Japan activity
Adding the concerts and fan events held in Japan to the Korean catalogue changes the impression of how busy the group really was.
Rediscovery
Feeldog gives a strong route back to BIGSTAR for anyone who met him through The Unit, UNB or Street Man Fighter.
Vocals
Raehwan's solo work under a name of his own leads back to his role as the main vocalist of the group.
Signature song
Hot Boy, Thinking of You and Full Moon Shine cover the debut, the dance material and the shift in the later years.
Releases
Taking Blossom, Hang Out and Shine a Moon Light as anchors shows a catalogue that built up in stages rather than a brief run.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 192/ 241 groups
No. 192 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 80%)
- 1Japanese releases
- 2Japan-related tracks
- 0Members from Japan
- 0Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
