During the latest episode of Mnet's "Wide Entertainment News", many interesting untold bits of information about Korea's entertainment industry were revealed. One of the most shocking discoveries was that Big Bang member G-Dragon was an SM Entertainment trainee!
When he was 8 years old, G-Dragon joined SM Entertainment with the hopes of becoming a singer. He trained with the company for 5 years.
However, instead of staying with SM Entertainment, G-Dragon switched to YG Entertainment where he was placed in Big Bang. The reason for this switch was not revealed.

That's also possibility for the switch but only SM and YG know why.
LOL GD doesn't seem like he belongs in SM... maybe Shinee-type. He fits and belongs in YG.
Am i the only one who LIKES his hair like this? e ~e
I KNOW THAT BEFORE... wahaha
I think I heard this before a long time ago
By the way, it is obviously that we belongs to YG and he loves and happy to be in YG family ~~
Actually, this ain't new thing. Why this issue is just revealed ?
artists do occasionally switch like that I guess - but it's good G-Dragon did!
OLD NEWS IS OLD!
this was written in wikipedia under SM, so why are they revealing old stuff.
GD's wish for freedom of expression could not be satisfied in SM, so he went to YG instead and got unlimited rights, no censorship, no slave contracts,... etc.
never saw that coming!
well,maybe it's his way..
i'm glad he ended up with big bang in the end. i really can't see him in a sm group:/
The picture's cool
This is interesting!

YG...SM... JYP lol all the same to me xD Though. How interesting if GD did stay in SM... Wonder how his music would fit for it xD
The information is interesting, but I'm more into how cool G-Dragon looks in that picture.
i agree gdragon looks amazing in the pic!!
imagine if he ended up in SHINee or something! that seems weird...and that means he must've been really young, huh.
