2015 is such as big year for Big Bang as it gave the group several successes to date. The all-South Korean boy band, which is composed of members Seungri, Deasung, T.O.P., Taeyang and G-Dragon, was formed by YG Entertainment and was formally introduced in 2006.

JPopAsia reported that the group earned a whopping 150 billion Won this year. Big Bang also earned a total of 11.5 billion Won, which is equivalent to $9.7 million, over the summer season for its newly-released album entitled "MADE."

Aside from its series of hit singles, Big Bang's "MADE" World Tour has also essentially contributed in their earnings this year. As a matter of fact, the group made a total of 140 billion Won, which is equal to $118.4 million.

Meanwhile, Big Bang is set to break records again as the group announced that it is set to release a Japanese version of its "MADE" series early next year. The forthcoming album will contain three Japanese versions of their hit singles namely: "If You," "Bang Bang Bang" and "Loser." The rest of the LP will have eight Korean tunes.

JPopAsia added that some versions of the upcoming album will come with Korean and Japanese music videos. It will either be a DVD or Blu ray disc. The release of the LP is in time with the end of Big Bang's Japanese tour in February 6 and 7. 

With this, it is safe to say that Big Bang is set to make 2016 a greater year. 2015, by far, marks the highest early earnings for the K-pop boy group since joining the showbiz industry.

Meanwhile, World Rich People shared that Big Bang has accumulated a net worth of $15 million. The all-boy group skyrocket to fame with their phenomenal hit single "Lies" which dominated Korean charts for a total of seven consecutive weeks. The K-pop group was even awarded "Artist of the Year" in 2008 and 2012.
