A Faulty King
No legend is ever free of faults. And if you think you can name one, then they’re either A) not a legend, or B) a liar.
G-Dragon is known as the “King of K-Pop.” His group BIGBANG is one of the foundational stepping stones in South Korean pop music’s global and international reach, and was one of the main stage inspirations for many K-pop acts that went on to follow them, including the world-renowned BTS.
G-Dragon himself had been in the scene of Korean media since he was a child, debuting in MBC’s program Bbo Bbo Bbo when he was just six years old, and later becoming a member of the children’s group Little Roo’ra once he turned seven.
And when he was twelve, GD went on to become a trainee for YG Entertainment, debuting as the leader of idol group BIGBANG in 2006. BIGBANG would soon then go on to become one of the largest boybands in the world.
