Big Bang Filled a London Stadium, a Long-Awaited Return for a Group Behind K-Pop's Blueprint

Big Bang played London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the BBC reports, describing the show as a long-awaited return for the group that helped build the blueprint for modern K-pop. Hold onto the word blueprint, because it is the whole claim: the bands that shaped how the genre works are now being measured by how full a football ground in north London gets. Stadium scale is a blunt instrument, but it is also the one that doesn't require anyone's permission.
