Big Bang’s “Haru-Haru” not the members’ fave song while latest tracks top major charts
Big Bang's latest tracks seized the top charts while members revealed why "Haru Haru" didn't make the cut for their newest album.
The biggest K-Pop hip hop boy band made an epic comeback Monday with the release of "MADE The Full Album," their first full-length album after eight long years.
As promised, the members appeared in a live broadcast on the Naver app "V" Monday night and counted down to the release of their album as they talked about their latest songs and their music.
According to Soompi, the group's three new songs made an all-kill at 1 a.m. on all eight major Korean music charts such as Melon, Mnet, Bugs, olleh, Soribada, Genie, Monkey3, and Naver. "FXXK IT" secured the number one spot, "Last Dance" came in the second while "Girlfriend" came right behind at number three.
The hashtag "#BIGBANGMADEFullAlbum" also took over Twitter and trended worldwide.
In addition to the new tracks, the album also included previous hits such as "Loser", "Bae Bae," "Bang Bang Bang," and "We Like to Party."
While answering fan questions, Taeyang revealed that not all songs made the cut for the latest release.
"There are 2 -3 songs that we recorded and ended up not including in an album. And there are countless songs that we almost recorded but didn't," allkpop quoted Taeyang as saying.
The group also confessed that their past song "Haru Haru" isn't one of their favorites.
"'Haru Haru' is a little...We don't like that one too much. For 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru,' we had to act in order to film a dramatized MV, and we were so young, so it's a little embarrassing now," they said.
"Haru Haru" was part of Big Bang's third Korean EP album "Stand Up" released in 2008. Translated as "Day by Day," the song is widely considered as one of the most successful singles ever in South Korea.
