Tickets for Big Bang's concert sold out in five minutes of opening up for reservations yesterday, announced the group’s agency YG Entertainment on Wednesday.
According to a press released by YG, over 150,000 fans visited online shopping and reservation site G-Market yesterday to purchase the first round of 14,000 tickets for Big Bang's "BIG SHOW" set to take place at the Gymnastic Stadium of the Olympic Park in Seoul from February 25 to 27.
The upcoming show will feature not only songs by the five-member group but also unit performances by GD and T.O.P. who released their first unit album last December, and Seungri whose first mini-solo album is set for release on January 20.
Most importantly, the concert will mark Big Bang's much-anticipated return to the K-pop music scene for the first time in over two years -- their third full-length album will be released on February 24.
Then in the summer of 2009, Big Bang crossed over to the Japanese music market where several of their singles placed in the top slots of the prestigious Oricon chart.
Starting May, they will hold a nationwide tour where they are expected to perform for a total 160,000 fans.
