Source-derived summary

Big Bang 03 (also known as Big Bang Third Single) is the third single album by the South Korean boy band BigBang, released under YG Entertainment on November 21, 2006, via CD and digital download. It spawned the single "Forever with You", featuring Park Bom who was also featured on their debut single track "We Belong Together" released in August. Big Bang 03 was released two months after their second single album Big Bang Is V.I.P. Like its two predecessors, it was able to chart for a long time before it dropped from the monthly album charts in South Korea.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “single” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q846962. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
