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 one of the most popular members. During training, he got to do vocal training with Wheesung, who’s one of his favorite artists.

While training, he was diagnosed with vocal cord nodules, which are common among singers and caused by strain on the vocal cords. They got worse in the fall of 2006 and he had to undergo treatment soon before the release of Big Bang’s second single. Thankfully, Gummy, who had experienced similar problems, helped Dae Sung recover and manage his condition, and they’ve been friends ever since.

Dae Sung is a big fan of the Japanese cartoon Doraemon and has lots of Doraemon items, from cellphone charms to boxers to chopsticks. He’s also known as a comedy genius for his imitations, sense of humor and puns.
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..) digital single. This was the first M-Boat/YG collaboration since the split of their partnership some months earlier.
