Big Bang's 'Cosmos' Exhibition Brings G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung to Life Through VR in Seoul

Big Bang has opened an immersive exhibition called "Cosmos" inside an underground venue in Jung-gu, central Seoul, where visitors put on a virtual reality headset to watch members G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung appear to perform just a few steps away. The exhibition was reported on Sept. 30, 2026, as part of a wider rise in immersive media exhibitions built around K-pop acts. [1]

Eleven zones, one underground venue

Beyond the VR segment, "Cosmos" is built around 11 experiential zones that trace the group's history through laser shows, previously unreleased photographs, holograms and interactive content. The setup is designed so that watching G-Dragon, Taeyang and Daesung perform through the headset creates the illusion of a live appearance. [1]

A shift from fan-made tributes to official productions

The exhibition marks a change from how these events used to work: in the past, such showcases were typically organized by fans around birthdays, anniversaries or comebacks, often built around photographs taken by dedicated fan photographers known as "hommas." "Cosmos" instead appears to be a produced exhibition using VR, holograms and multi-zone staging rather than a fan-assembled display, reflecting how agencies are turning artist narratives into ticketed offline experiences.

Two decades since debut

Big Bang has been active since 2006, and the Cosmos exhibition's framing of a "two-decade career" lines up with that history, which includes members G-Dragon, Taeyang, Daesung and T.O.P and a run of releases and ceremony wins stretching back to the group's earliest years. [2]

A format spreading across the industry

Big Bang's exhibition is not an isolated case. Girl group Ive members Yujin and Wonyoung staged a comparable media art exhibition called "An-Young" in Seongdong-gu, eastern Seoul, which used LED visuals, holograms and curated ambient sound before closing, while NCT is marking its 10th anniversary with "Neo Dimension," running in Songpa-gu, southern Seoul, through Oct. 18 with four-sided video installations covering the group's decade-long expansion. The pattern suggests exhibitions are becoming a standard promotional tool rather than a one-off event tied to a single artist. [1]
