In the K-pop industry, YG Entertainment is recognized as one of the most prominent entertainment companies today. They are responsible for creating popular K-pop acts of the past such as Sechkies, 2NE1, and Psy, as well as popular K-pop acts of today like CL, Sandara Park, and Black Pink.
The most popular K-pop act YG Entertainment is known for is Big Bang. The five-member boy band consisting of T.O.P., Taeyang, G-Dragon, Daesung, and Seungri has dominated the K-pop scene since 2006. They released numerous hit songs like "Fantastic Baby," "Bang Bang Bang," "Loser," "Bae Bae," and "FXXK IT."
In celebration of their 10-year-anniversary, Big Bang has teamed up with YouTube Red for an exclusive series that will give fans a gander into the members' lives.
It is called Run, BigBang Scout.
What is Run, BIGBANG Scout?
Run, BIGBANG Scout is a lighthearted reality series that is made in the style of popular K-variety shows that place K-celebrities into unfamiliar surroundings like Law of the Jungle or Invincible Youth. The five members of Big Bang go camping together for the first time and reminisce the past ten years.
The series consists of six episodes that chronicle the camping trip. Descriptions of each episode and their air dates are listed as follows.
- Episode 1: THE REUNION BEGINS (April 26): Big Bang gathers in front of YG Building unaware they are being filmed. They learn they will be going on a camping trip to celebrate their 10-year anniversary.
- Episode 2: BIGBANG GOES TO THE GROCERY STORE (April 26): To prepare for their camping trip, Seungri and G-Dragon go to the grocery store to buy food. Afterwards, the members' moms show up to make their favorite lunches.
- Episode 3: MOMMY, GIVE ME FOOD! (May 3): Big Bang members gather at their campsite and eat their homemade lunches. They soon find out what the camping trip holds in store for them.
- Episode 4: TELL ME THE TRUTH (May 10): Big Bang's manager opens up about what it is like to work with the members.
- Episode 5: SOBER TALK (May 17): Big Bang prepares an epic barbecue together.
- Episode 6: WHAT DO WE NEED TO SAY? (May 24): The series ends when the Big Bang members gather around the campfire after the barbecue and share their favorite memories over the past ten years.
How can K-pop fans watch Run, BIGBANG Scout?
K-pop fans, especially the official fan club of Big Bang known as VIP, are anticipating this series that provides an inside look into the lives of the members of Big Bang.
Unfortunately, the series will only be available for paying subscribers of YouTube Red.
Fortunately, YouTube Red is streaming the first episode of Run, BIGBANG Scout for free. For subsequent episodes, viewers must pay for the YouTube Red subscription. For Big Bang fans, this might be a worthwhile purchase as the boy band may be in hiatus for the next couple of years due to South Korea's mandatory military duties for men. Each member is reaching the maximum age for Korean men to fulfill their mandatory two years in South Korea's military.
