TaengTaengoo 1,924 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I usually dont listen to the "Oh they weren't treated well enough?

ariel28 5,489 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 he was fated to be with YG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guava 6,874 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wonder why he left SM in the first place. Did he mention it? YG must have had an amazing offer, also I didn't realize he was ever signed to SM. I thought he was just a trainee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mischo 7,462 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Omg I totally wonder what he would've been like if he still was with SM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mol 18,961 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 d'aww sitting on ShinHwa's lap and playing with them...so cute! ^^ I remember Eric said he remembers GD, and he's happy seeing that kid grow into such superstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius 8,485 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wonder why he left SM in the first place. Did he mention it? YG must have had an amazing offer, also I didn't realize he was ever signed to SM. I thought he was just a trainee. Pretty sure he wasn't signed, because he was like 11y/o when he left. Iirc he left because he didn't know what he wanted. In the period after leaving he discovered hip hop and started rapping, then he joined YG and the rest is history...

YG must have had an amazing offer, also I didn't realize he was ever signed to SM. I thought he was just a trainee. I guess we can take a clue from his quote. He 'didn't sing much' and 'could dance a bit'...those two things are quintessential for an SM trainee. Maybe they didn't see him improving and debuting in the future since he didn't show much promise at that time. I remember reading an account of an ex SM trainee and that person had written that they actually analyse and evaluate at what rate your skills have the potential to grow and whether you'll be fit to debut in some pre-defined time and if you don't show that promise they let you know.

Siberia 3,016 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 He was a SM trainee for 5 years and another 6 years at YG, That means he's been a trainee for fricking 11 years. That's just crazy, but it made him the man he is today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol GD was clearly being humble when he said he 'could dance a bit'. He was, and if he wants to be still is a very good dancer. You also have to remember GD was in SM in 1995-2000. This was in the early days when SM didn't have a dedicated trainee program yet and let promising individuals without specific talents (like GD) train at random times that suited them.

You also have to remember GD was in SM in 1995-2000. Back then SM wasn't that specific about the talent they were searching for yet. I think he was telling it as it is. he was probably a kid back then. SM has a particular style they went for since H.O.T becuase you can see their influences in both singing and dancing in the groups that debuted under SM after H.O.T. Whether he had a particular training program or not, they had their foundation with regards to 'style' laid with H.O.T. I'm not saying SM kicked out GD or that GD wasn't good enough or something...he just probably wasn't SM's style. GD has more of an artist vibe as opposed to the 'idol' image. dat ninja edit tho...how do you people do that o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the period after leaving he discovered hip hop and started rapping, then he joined YG and the rest is history... you sure cause in the quote he says "When I was signed to SM and came in as a trainee..." It does seem a young age to be in a contract but he mentioned it : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siberia 3,016 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kJ98dxXMcs He was 1st at a festival and LSM noticed him, that's why he went to SM. And after that, he quit cause he felt he was more into hiphop and signed with YG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius 8,485 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 you sure cause in the quote he says "When I was signed to SM and came in as a trainee..."

I'm 100% sure he did not have a contract at age 6-11 lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
