Tae Yang (born Dong Young Bae) has been with G-D in YG Entertainment since he was 12. He started out as a rapper but is now one of the vocalists of Big Bang. He was known for being scared of girls, and is still known as the shy, sweet, thoughful and sensitive one in the group. Currently, Tae Yang is working on his first solo album. Tae Yang will be the first one to release the solo album from Big Bang.[32] He had been working on this album for a long time so Tae Yang himself has had big expectations for it.[33]
The mini-album was released on May 22, 2008, entitled HOT. Consisting solely of hip-hop and R&B songs, the first single to be released was "나만 바라봐" ("Look Only at Me").

The "Big Brother" of the band is Choi Seung Hyun, also known as Tempo or T.O.P. YG staff members call him Keun Seung Hyun, meaning Big Seung Hyun, to distinguish between the fellow Big Bang member also named Seung Hyun. Before joining Big Bang, he was a star performer in underground hip-hop clubs and even won KBS Radio's "Rap Battle" in 2003. Tempo is one of the two rappers in the Big Bang and is also very talented in beat-boxing. Recently, TOP has successfully finished filming his role as the school's top fighter in a Korean drama called, I Am Sam. His character's name in the drama was Chae Mu Shin and his talent as an actor has impressed the fans and the viewers. At the end of 2007, Big Bang was invited to SBS music award festival and performed Hot Issue songs. T.O.P, however, could not come because he collapsed. In 2008, he will star in a new drama. He starred in Red Roc's music video for the song "Hello", in which he shaved his head. TOP will be in Gummy's new music video, "미안해요" (I'm Sorry) along with Sandara Park. T.O.P had a kiss scene with Sandara Park because his fans expected him to have kiss scene. Although, in an interview in Thailand, he mentions that he did not actually kiss Miss Park and that it just seemed so from a camera angle. [34] It was announced that he would be starring in a drama with Lee Byung Hun in 2009.[citation needed] (T.O.P-4-S)
Kang Dae Sung, the "Smiling Angel", is a vocalist in Big Bang. Fans praise Dae Sung's humorous personality and astounding vocals and dedicate numerous websites to him. During the auditions, Dae Sung was called "Unpretty Boy" and "ugly", but later, the staff team confirmed that Daesung is actually the most popular member in Big Bang. Dae Sung has an obsession with "Doraemon", a Japanese animation. Dae Sung has been also been known as "Gag/Comedy Genius Dae Sung" (Gae Chun Dae Sung in Korean) with his great sense of humor and unique talent in imitating famous people and even animals.

Lee Seung Hyun, or known as "Seung Ri", is the "Little Brother" of Big Bang. His name when Big Bang debuted, was "V" which is derived from Victory. YG's staff call him "Mag-nae", which means "the youngest or baby in a family". Before joining Big Bang, Seung Ri was on "Battle Shinhwa", a show that was searching for the second Shinhwa, which was one of the most successful Korean boy bands to date, next to H.O.T. However, he was rejected in the 13th episode because even though he was a great dancer, his vocals failed to impress. However, the manager of YG recognized his talent and invited him to practice with the YG Family. Before Big Bang, he was a member of Il Hwa, a Kwangjoo dance team. Seung Ri's greatest talents are dancing and choreographing dance routines. He is very strong for the youngest member in the group.
