South Korean singer Taeyang began his career as the main vocalist of the K-Pop and hip-hop group Big Bang. His first solo single was "My Girl", included in BigBang's debut album Big Bang Vol.1 (2006). His first extended play, Hot (2008) yielded the chart-topper single "Only Look at Me".[1] His first full-length album, Solar was released in July 2010 and became the first by an Asian artist to top iTunes charts in North America,[2] in addition to peaking atop the Gaon Albums Chart.[3]
Taeyang followed up with the release of his second studio album Rise in June 2014, which became the highest-charting album on the American Billboard 200 among solo Korean artists at the time it was released,[4] while its lead-single, "Eyes, Nose, Lips", became the second best-performing single of 2014 in South Korea.[5] His third album, White Night, was released in August 2017. His second extended play, Down to Earth, was released in April 2023 and marked his first album release in six years. The EP spawned the singles "Vibe" (featuring Jimin of BTS) and "Seed".
