G-Dragon real name Kwon JiYong became popular when he was younger. At a young age G-Dargon started participating in kid shows like ‘Little Lulla’. Like the show ‘An Angel Without Wings’, ‘Little Lulla’ was a huge hit.
“I was also on MBC’s ‘Bbobbobbo’. I was seated next to Bbomee on the show and I danced really well. That’s when I was discovered by ‘Little Lulla’. Back then we even but on a concert tour and recorded a carol album.”
Even though the show ‘Little Lulla’ was super popular, after awhile the company decided to pull the plug on the show which was a huge shock to G-Dragon.
“At that age I was really shocked. I really thought I wouldn’t continue to be a singer. I even told my mother once that I would never do it again. I lived a normal live after that.” It seemed like he was destined to become famous. When his family went on a ski trip, SM was conducting a dance competition and he joined. He soon enough was picked to be a trainee. He trained under SM for almost 5 years. “When I was in SM, it wasn’t as big as it was today so practicing didn’t happen daily. I would only go once a month or once every three months. The workers there probably don’t even remember me. I use to dance a lot but the officials probably don’t remember me. I wasn’t handsome but I had a mischievous face and did what I was told really well. This one time I even got to sit on the lap of one of the Shinhwa members.” Even as an SM trainee he didn’t have a clear vision of what he really wanted to do. Once he reached the 3rd grade, he discovered the Wu-tang Clang through a close friend. He then joined a group called People Crew and learned how to freestyle.
