News: G Dragon Trained at SM Town for 5 years!
So the rumor before about G-Dragon being an SM trainee is true after all. Asia.co.kr got to interview him about this and here’s a rough translation/summary of the article they posted:
“G-Dragon started young in the entertainment industry by being part of MBC’s Bbobbobbo and a show called Little Lulla. There were plans then of releasing a Carol album with the kids on the show but it didn’t push through.
Little Lulla was very popular then but after awhile, the company decided to terminate it, which became a big shock to the 8-year old G-Dragon. But G-Dragon knew, he really wanted to be a singer.
One time, his family went on a ski resort where SM Entertainment, headed by Lee Sooman, was conducting a dance competition (or audition). He joined and got chosen to be a trainee. He trained for almost 5 years, during the time when S.E.S, H.O.T, BOA and Shinhwa were gaining popularity.
G-Dragon said, “The first time I went to training, I practiced everyday. SM officials don’t probably remember me anymore but I danced a lot. I wasn’t handsome but I had a mischievous face and followed directions very well. There was even a time when I sat on the lap of one of the Shinhwa members.”
SM didn’t have a clear vision for him then because he was just in 3rd grade. That was also the time when he discovered Wu-tang Clang through a friend. He then joined People Crew (?) where he learned more about freestyle rapping.”
