– August 15, 2009Posted in: Singer
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.
