BIGBANG COSMOS exhibition: what ended and what starts next

The August 14–23 Jamsil prequel, the Goyang concerts and the separately dated main media exhibition are different events. Check the date range before travelling.

PUBLISHED AUG 21 · REVIEWED AUG 25, 2026
Current distinction: YG's Jamsil-area prequel ended August 23. BIGBANG's official community separately lists the main “COSMOS” media exhibition for August 24 through September 27. That date listing does not prove same-day admission, remaining capacity or merchandise stock; open the official notice before travelling.

What happened through August 23

YG Entertainment’s August 10 announcement describes a BIGBANG 20th-anniversary program spread across the Jamsil area in Seoul. The program included archival and behind-the-scenes media at the Art Hall on the sixth floor of AVENUEL Jamsil, an associated merchandise shop on basement level one of Lotte World Mall, and limited collaboration desserts. These were venue activities, not additional concert performances.

The connecting bridge on level five between AVENUEL and Lotte World Mall hosts an interactive “COSMOS” element. Visitors can submit a message on a tablet and see it translated into an Arecibo-code-inspired visualization. YG also announced light-stick-inspired lighting and a crown installation around the eastern section and waterside stage of Seokchon Lake. The special August 19 lighting ceremony has already passed, so do not mistake old promotional posts for a future schedule.

Do not confuse Jamsil with the ended Goyang concerts

BIGBANG’s world-tour opening concerts took place at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi-do on August 21, 22 and 23. Jamsil is in southeastern Seoul and was not the concert venue. The separate Koursea Goyang concert record preserves the dated showtimes, identity checks, weather planning and stadium address as an archive; do not reuse those details for a future tour stop.

Simple decision: do not travel to Jamsil for the ended August 14–23 prequel or to Goyang Stadium for the ended concerts. For the separately dated main media exhibition, use its live official notice to confirm the exact venue, access and same-day status before travelling.

What began on August 24

The official BIGBANG community page lists the main “COSMOS” 20th-anniversary media exhibition from Monday, August 24 through Sunday, September 27. This is a separate date range from the August 14–23 Jamsil-area prequel program. Visitors arriving after August 23 should use the main exhibition notice rather than assuming every pop-up element at Jamsil continues.

Before you go

How to plan a short Jamsil visit

For a focused stop, begin with the official listing for the element you care about and note its floor before entering the mall complex. AVENUEL, Lotte World Mall and Seokchon Lake are close, but they are not one room or one queue. Keep a screenshot of the official notice for orientation, then follow current signs and staff directions inside the property.

The Goyang concerts have ended, so they are no longer part of a Jamsil day plan. Visitors considering the separately dated main media exhibition should verify same-day access, the exact floor, hours and any reservation requirement on the live official notice before travelling. Do not infer current admission or merchandise availability from photos or reports about the ended prequel.

TAEYANG fan moment in Taipei

This creator-recorded Short shows a fan interaction connected to TAEYANG’s Taipei visit. Event organizer FANME lists the QUINTESSENCE Taipei offline fansign as held on June 26, 2026, so this is an ended-event clip—not notice of a new appearance. For future fansigns, rely on the organizer’s current identity, purchase and entry rules rather than assuming that one attendee’s experience will repeat.
