THE BIGDIPPER Members Profile and Facts
THE BIGDIPPER (더빅디퍼) formerly known as Big Dipper and Aplus Boys, was a pre-debut boy group under A+ Entertainment. The group underwent several lineup changes since its formation in early 2021. The latest lineup consisted of 5 members: ON, Kim Eunbin, JM, Siwoo, and Minhoo. On October 27, 2022, they released their pre-debut EP, Shining Star. The group silently disbanded in the first half of 2023.
Group Name Meaning: each member symbolizes a star from the Big Dipper, meaning they will always be like 7 stars in the sky. After the first lineup change the meaning was changed to: just as people look for the Big Dipper to find their way when they’re lost, the members want to be a path and a star that illuminates the dark night for those who need help finding their way or need comfort in difficult times.
