We don′t have to tell you twice why Big Bang is one of our K-Pop stars of the year.

With numerous hit singles between the idol group and its leader G-Dragon, we think it’s safe to say Big Bang made a meteoric comeback in 2012, and true to its album title, Big Bang proved that it was very much Alive last year.

Big Bang was Still Alive a few months later, treating fans to even more ear candy via Monster, which, of course, also destroyed the music scene.

The idol group also set off on its 2012 Big Show/Big Bang Alive Tour and Still Alive Galaxy Tour 2012 world tours, last year, taking to the skies in its own personalized aircraft and spreading K-Pop far and wide.

Add G-Dragon′s One of a Kind solo success to the mix and consider our point that Big Bang had an explosive 2012 proven.
