GD was once a protege of SM Entertainment for 5 years. He signed for them

when he was 5. Because the intensity of the training schedule there was seems
irregular, SME was confused whether to make him a soloist or get him into a
boyband. Beside, they also confused about the character they want to tag into GD
and those made GD uncertain about his future with SME. Moreover, at the time he
heard that he was planned to be an supplementary member of Shinhwa, not their
official member. Those all made GD became more doubtful about his future. At

and ever since he learned freestyle rap, and until then he signed for YG
Entertainment. YGE was well-known with their rap music.
