Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang don't shy away from the word love and attributes it to hard work as the secret formula for their decade of success.

South Korea's biggest hip hop boy band climbed their way up to success since their official launch 10 years ago. Now, the group remains unbeatable as they achieved phenomenal worldwide success.

They launched Monday their latest full-length album "MADE The Full Album" and trashed Korean and global charts when their latest tracks achieved an all-kill. "Last Dance" stayed on number one, "FXXK IT" kept closing at the second spot while "Girlfriend remained secure at number three on the major music charts.

Yet the 28-year-old soulful singer Taeyang, who launched his 2010 solo album "Solar," didn't flinch when he said that love keeps the group intact.

"It's hard to say this myself but we're all instinctively nice," allkpop quoted Taeyang as saying in an interview with Sports Chosun. "But I do believe good fights are necessary. Everyone shares opinions because we treasure the team, and no members get upset by that."

"We often say that we should love one another. I think our secret is love," he added. 

Group leader G-Dragon, also 28, revealed that the group is not immune to challenges. He cites that they usually encounter them before releasing an album. He points out that overcoming these challenges bring out a positive outcome for them.

"We become tighter against situations that can only be overcome with hard work," he said. "We've never even engaged in those common physical fights. We had small brawls but we know one other very well so I think we'll remain that way. I think that's the strong energy of Big Bang."

It seems that the group's most obvious challenge now is the reality of their upcoming military enlistment. T.O.P. would be the first off by February 2017.

This prompted YG Entertainment to allow the member to guest on popular variety shows as a complete group. Fans can look forward to watching Big Bang's guest appearances on "Weekly Idol" as well as "Infinity Challenge" and "Radio Star.
