Information
Despite his parents been against his dream of becoming a singer, Daesung auditioned with YG Entertainment and was recruited by the agency. Time later he appeared in a TV show about BIGBANG debut. In this show Daesung was labelled as "the ugly one" but due his voice talent and personality he was selected third after G-Dragon and Taeyang.
Two years after his debut with BIGBANG, Daesung released his first solo single, a Trot song titled Look at Me Gwisun, and writen by fellow member G-Dragon. In this same year, he joines the TV-Show Family Outing and takes part in the Korean version of the Cats stage play. In 2009, he releases his second Trot single Big Hit! and announces his participation in a second musical, Shouting, along with BIGBANG member Seungri.
In August 11, Daesung was involved in a car accident while traveling back home after a Family Outing filming. His injuries, which needed surgery, forced him to not take part on Shouting musical, neither Family Outing filming or BIGBANG activities. In October he made his comeback performing with BIGBANG for the Dream Concert.
2010 seems a year of change for Daesung. In January his first full album was announced by YG, along with a new digital single, Cotton Candy, for which Daesung wrote the lyrics. In the same month it was also announced he would not participate in the second season of Family Outing (neither the rest of the first season cast), and his participation in the drama What's Up? with one of the main roles.
