In April 2015, BigBang made a comeback after a three-year hiatus as a group, and their Made World Tour ended with a great success drawing 1.5 million people worldwide.

The film also included interviews with each member.[7]

Release and reception

"Big Bang shines the most when they are just being themselves. The movie is a collection of such moments. Without any artificial setting, the camera follows Big Bang members and records them in their most natural state. As a result, viewers can see Big Bang members not only as artist but also just as guys next door."
