On January 2001, GD debuted on the compilation album Daehanmingook Hip-Hop Flex as a

rapper. After his debut, he was recruited along with Tae Yang to act in JinuSeans mv as mini

JinuSean, which was released in February of the same year. Then GD started training out his

planned debut as one half of hip hop duo GDYB.

During that time, he was featured on songs by Perry, Se7en, W heesung, YG Family and Masta W u.

He also had cameos in many YG artistss music videos and performed live with Swi.T, Lexy,

JinuSean and YG Family. He also performed in concert with W heesung, Gummy and Se7en and

in YG Familys annual One concerts.

Out of everyone, GD was closest to YG and Perry, who thought him a lot, and his relationship with

Hyun Suk was even described as father and son. GDYB released 2 songs on YG Familys second

album, but never debut or released an album. In 2004, GD and Tae Yang were both listed as YG

new faces and scheduled to debut that year.

However, Hyun Suk announced that their debut was canceled in favor of forming a four-to-six

member group. It took until 2006 for BIG BANG to be officially announced via The BIG BANG

Documentary Reality Show. Meanwhile, GDYB were featured in Se7ens album and performed

with him at the W orld Cup.

After graduating from high school, he decided to wait a year before applying to college, and took

his college entrance exams in Fall 2007. G-Dragon is BIG BANGs leader. He is also a rapper and

vocalist and has been producing with BIG BANGs releases with the help of Hyun Suk since the

beginning. He also wrote many of the lyrics and recently started songwriting and arranging.

Bio

Dae Sung was recruited in an audition, and even though he was jokingly known as unpretty boy

among the staff, he turned out to be the most popular members.

During training, he got to do vocal training with W heesung, whos one of his favorite artists.

W heesung had also help other members from BIG BANG. W hile training, he was diagnosed with

vocal cord nodules (a mass of tissue that grows on the vocal cords causing human speech to be

difficult), which are common among singers and caused by strains on the vocal cords.

They got worse in fall of 2006 and DS had to undergo treatment soon before the release of BIG

BANGs second single. Thankfully, Gummy, who had experienced the same problem, helped Dae

Sung recover and manage his condition. Theyve been friends ever since. Gummy was the one who

said hello in Korean in the "Lie" MV.

In April 2007, Dae Sung decided to quit high school to be able to focus full-time on Big Bang, but

expressed a desire to pass his college entrance exams sometime in the future. In October 2007,

Dae Sung was featured in singer Nemos Ije, Oori ( , ..) [Now W e] digital single. This

was the first M-Boat/YG collaboration since the split of their partnership some months earlier.

Trivia

known as a comedy genius for his imitations, sense of humor and puns.

baseball player or a pastor.
