Timeline

1989

Kang Dae-sung (born April 26, 1989), better known mononymously as Daesung and his Japanese stage name D-Lite, is a South Korean singer and television personality who made his musical debut in 2006 as a member of the South Korean boy band Big Bang.

2006

The formation of the group was documented on television, but prior to their official debut, Jang was dropped and BigBang debuted in 2006 with five members.

BigBang made their first appearance as a group on August 19, 2006, at YG Family's 10th Anniversary concert.

2007

BigBang's debut was fairly successful, with their first studio album, Big Bang Vol.1 - Since 2007, getting sales of over 100,000 copies.

The album also contains Daesung's first solo song "Try Smiling" and was preceded by three single albums: "Big Bang", "Big Bang is V.I.P" and "Big Bang 03", released the same year.

The group's breakthrough came with the release of their first extended play, Always (2007), which included the number one single "Lies".

The song went on to T.O.P major Korean music charts for a record-breaking seven consecutive weeks, [3] and won the group the Song of the Year award at the 9th Mnet Korean Music Festival.[4] Their following EPs followed its predecessor's footsteps: Hot Issue yielded "Last Farewell" while Stand Up spawned "Day by Day" ; both singles were chart-toppers.

Shortly after the debut of BigBang, Daesung was diagnosed with voice chord nodules and developed sociophobia and stage fright.

However, he was able to recover with the help of fellow singer and label-mate Gummy, who had been previously diagnosed with the illness.

2008

He debuted as a solo artist in South Korea with the number one trot song "Look at Me, Gwisoon" in 2008.

In South Korean television, he was a part of the main cast of the T.O.P-rated comedy show Family Outing from 2008 to 2010, the musical drama series What's Up (2011), and was one of the hosts of the talk show Night After Night (2010).

Kang Dae-sung was born in Seoul's Itaewon neighborhood, and from a young age he acquired an interest in becoming a singer.

To overcome the objection of his parents who were strongly against the idea, he left home for a week to get his permission.

Kang continued to pursue his goal and was recruited by YG Entertainment as a trainee after succeeding in an audition.

Later, he started using his first name, Daesung, as his stage name and was paired with five more trainees (G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Seungri and Hyunseung) to integrate the formation of the boy group Big Bang.

Daesung released his first trot single "Look at Me, Gwisoon" in 2008.

He stated that although he was worried about dampening the group's image, he wanted to try something different.

The same year, he joined the SBS reality variety show Family Outing as a permanent cast member.

He also made his musical debut in Korean production of Cats, playing the role of Rum Tum Tugger.

Daesung then became a host for MBC's music program Show! Music Core, alongside fellow member Seungri.

2009

Daesung released his second trot single titled "Big Hit" in 2009.

He was also scheduled to join bandmate Seungri in the autobiographical musical Shouting.

In August 2009, however, Daesung was injured in a car accident shortly before the musical opened.

He was returning to Seoul from a filming location for Family Outing when the accident occurred on the Pyeongtaek Express highway, Gyeonggi Province.

The van hit the guardrail as it skidded in the pouring rain, according to YG Entertainment.

Daesung, who was in the passenger seat, broke his nose, injured his back, and sustained minor bruises on his face and arms.

Daesung fully recovered and made his return to BigBang in October 2009, joining the group to perform at the Dream Concert.

2010

Since the inception of the Gaon Digital Chart in 2010, Daesung achieved two T.O.P 10 songs, the digital single "Cotton Candy" and "Wings" from the BigBang album Alive (2012).

Daesung released a new single, "Cotton Candy", at the end of January 2010.

It was composed by Jung Ji-chen, with Daesung penning the lyrics.

In 2010, Daesung began his shoot for MBC's pre-produced musical drama What's Up, written by Song Ji-na.

Since November 2010, Daesung also became a host for the variety-talk show Night After Night.

That same year, Daesung recorded a duet with Family Outing co-star Lee Hyori titled "How Did We Get", featured on the latter's album.

2011

It started airing on MBN channel on December 3, 2011.

"Lunatic", a track sung by Daesung for the drama's OST, was also released online on the same day.

In 2011, Daesung released a solo song, "Baby Don't Cry", which was included in BigBang's 4th extended play (EP).

The song was first performed in Big Show 2011 concert in February.

2013

In 2013, he released his first solo album in Japan, D'scover and embarked on his first Japanese tour.

The following year, he released two more albums, D'slove and his first chart-topper, Delight. D'slove Tour made him the first Korean soloist to gather over 100,000 fans for two Japanese tours in a row.

2017

In 2017, he held his first solo Japanese dome tour, performing for over 150,000 people from four shows, and released his second number one album, D-Day, that made him the second foreign male solo artist to have two consecutive number one albums in Japan after Michael Jackson.
