The group's formation was chronicled on the television series Big Bang Documentary, from July to August 2006. The show was also aired online on GomTV and on MTV Korea.

Signed to YG Entertainment, Big Bang went on to release successful singles and mini albums. Their second release, the mini album Always (2007), spawned the number-one single "Lies". Their follow-up mini albums Hot Issue and Stand Up were similarly successful. After they received the "Artist of the Year" award from the M.net KM Music Festival and the Seoul Gayo Daesang Award, the group expanded their activities into Japan, releasing mini-albums and airplay singles.
