Rare Pre-Debut Footage Of BIGBANG’s G-Dragon Gets Released
G-Dragon has been a K-Pop idol for nearly 20 years, but he entered the Korean entertainment industry long before he debuted as a BIGBANG member.
The “King of K-Pop” was just six years old when he began his career as a member of Little Roo’Ra in 1994. After the group’s contract was terminated, G-Dragon was scouted by SM Entertainment, where he trained for five years. After this talented rapper, then 13, caught the attention of Sean–a member of the YG Entertainment hip-hop duo Jinusean–G-Dragon joined YG Entertainment. He continued training until his debut with BIGBANG.
