BigBang heartthrob Taeyang to perform in Vietnam

A representative of Seen Festival confirmed Tuesday that Taeyang would perform at the event on June 17.

The news excited many Vietnamese fans, as BigBang is one of the top boy bands in South Korea. Dubbed the "Kings of K-pop", BigBang helped spread the Hallyu wave to the international scene and are one of the most influential artists in the genre.

Formed in 2006 with the original lineup of five members, BigBang are still active with four members after 17 years.
