With Beast, he has released singles and albums in both Korean and Japanese. Beast won the Artist of the Year (Daesang) award at the Melon Music Awards in 2011. [2]

Hyunseung was also one half of the duo Trouble Maker with former Cube label mate, Hyuna . In December 2011, the duo released their debut extended play with the lead single, "Trouble Maker." [3]

Family and personal life [ edit ]

Career [ edit ]

Pre-debut [ edit ]

In 2004, at the age of 15, Hyunseung took part in auditions for YG Entertainment . He was eliminated in the second round, but went to see CEO Yang Hyun-suk afterwards out of frustration at being eliminated and was accepted as a trainee. [11]

For a year and four months, Hyunseung was a trainee for the boy group Big Bang . During this time, he used the stage name "So-1," a homonym for the Korean word for wish. He first gained media attention when he appeared in the group's pre-debut "Big Bang Documentary," along with members G-Dragon , T.O.P , Taeyang , Daesung and Seungri . He appeared in 10 out of 11 episodes, but was cut from the group in a final elimination round with Seungri. Yang Hyun-suk said that Hyunseung's expressiveness and stage presence were underdeveloped at the time. Fellow Beast member, Yoon Doo-joon decided to become a singer after watching the BigBang documentary featuring Hyunseung. [12] Hyunseung refers to his experiences at YG as important to his development as an artist. [11]

Hyunseung later met future fellow band member Yang Yo-seob while they were working as dancers for a show performance team. Yoseob convinced Hyunseung to join Cube Entertainment, leading to him debuting with Beast. [11]

Beast [ edit ]

Solo activities [ edit ]

On May 7, 2015, Hyunseung released his solo debut extended play, My . [13] Unlike BEAST's tracks, Hyunseung's album drew more from hip-hop culture and pop culture, such as title track "Ma First" featuring Giriboy and "Break Up With Him" featuring Dok2 .

Trouble Maker [ edit ]

In December 2011, Hyunseung formed a unit with label mate 4Minute 's Hyuna called Trouble Maker . Trouble Maker debuted with their self-named lead single and extended play, Trouble Maker . [14] On October 28, 2013, the group released their second extended play, Chemistry .
