"Strong Baby", Seungri's solo track, was released as the second single. The music video was released January 1, 2009. [4] At the 18th Seoul Music Awards a month later, the album received the Best Album Award.

Promotion

Two music videos from the album were released for "Sunset Glow" and "Strong Baby." [1] "Sunset Glow" was promoted with the entire group, while member Seungri performed "Strong Baby" solo. [5]

The music video for "Sunset Glow" was filmed at various locations in Taean County, along the west coast, with the BigBang members spreading the message "Let's go West!" throughout the video. [6] [7] At the time, the Taean region was recovering from the ecological and economic effects the 2007 South Korea oil spill had on what used to be an abundant fishing industry and scenic beach tourism destination. [8] When asked why Taean was chosen as the background of the music video, Big Bang said, "We hope many people will visit the west coast again after watching our music video." [6]

Commercial performance

On the year-end Hanteo albums charts for 2008, Remember was ranked as the 4th best-selling album in South Korea with sales of cover 135,000 copies on the chart.[ citation needed ] In April 2010, the album along with several of BigBang's other releases re-charted on the Gaon Album Chart, with Remember peaking at number 5 on the weekly chart and number 19 on the monthly issue.
