Will BIGBANG reunite at Coachella 2022? K-pop band on hiatus since 2016
With Coachella being one of the biggest music festivals, it is only fitting that BIGBANG, one of the biggest K-pop boy groups, would reunite at its 2022 edition. BIGBANG was one of the most popular groups and was responsible for the Hallyu Wave and bringing K-pop to the West with viral hits like ‘Bang Bang Bang’ and ‘Fantastic Baby’. Known as the ‘Kings of K-pop’, they have had a very successful career in South Korea, as well as internationally. Theirs was the first K-pop album to chart on Billboard 200 and swept global award shows like MTV EMAs.
BIGBANG was also mentioned by Forbes as one of the most influential celebrities and the band constantly topped major South Korean music charts. It had sold-out world tours and was even invited to prestigious events like the 2014 Asian Games. Following the K-pop group’s last comeback in 2016, the group, unfortunately, started their military era. South Korean males till the age of 30 have to enlist in mandatory military service. They did drop one goodbye single titled ‘Flower Road’ in 2018 but that has been it from them till now.
