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 Wheesung, who’s one of his
favorite artists. Wheesung had also help other members from BIG BANG.
While 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 BANG’s second single. Thankfully, Gummy, who had
experienced the same problem, helped Dae Sung recover and manage his
condition. They’ve 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 Nemo’s “Ije, Oori…” (이제,우리..) [Now We] digital
single. This was the first M-Boat/YG collaboration since the split of
their partnership some months earlier.
