In her appearance on YouTube channel Lazy Rabbit, actress Kwon Kyung Ha recalled her time as a teacher and recounted the first time she met Kwon Ji Yong - G-Dragon's real name - at a traditional art high school.
She said she taught the male singer from the first year to the third year of junior high school, and was also G-Dragon's homeroom teacher for three years of school.
According to Kwon Kyung Ha, G-Dragon's star quality was revealed very early. She emphasized: "Since then, Ji Yong has been very talented and really outstanding.
She also recalled participating with him in a school play called "Marriage Day", and affirmed that G-Dragon had good acting ability from a young age.
As G-Dragon's entertainment career became increasingly busy, he transferred to high school in his first year to focus on artistic activities. Kwon Kyung Ha said that every time she sees her old student appearing on television, she feels extremely proud.
Looking back at that time, Kwon Kyung Ha said: "I always have a very personal memory that I knew her from a very young age. Although she is still young, she is already a very talented and truly different person.
According to Kwon Kyung Ha, G-Dragon's talent is often shown outside of class. She remembers that every time the school organizes an event, G-Dragon goes on stage to perform breakdance with another student. According to her memory, the friend who performed with him at that time was probably Taeyang, a member of Big Bang later.
The two of us perform singing and dancing performances together. Throughout the three years, the two of us have participated in school performances very diligently," Kwon Kyung Ha shared.
Closing the conversation, Kwon Kyung Ha sent a loving message to her former student: "Ji Yong, I am very happy to see you grow up and become a wonderful person like today. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I still always follow and support you".
G-Dragon has been passionate about music since childhood. At the age of 5, he pursued art as a member of the children's group Little Roo'ra, and at the age of 8 became a trainee of SM Entertainment for 5 years.
At the age of 13, he decided to leave SM, join YG Entertainment with a passion for hip-hop, and aspired to become a rapper, a true artist, not "piggybacking" on common standards.
After that, G-Dragon spent another 6 years as a trainee at YG, before officially debuting as the leader of Big Bang in 2006.
He has participated in composing and producing a series of Big Bang hits such as "Lies", "Haru Haru", "Bad Boy", "Fantastic Baby", "Loser", "Bang Bang Bang", "If You", "Bae Bae", "Sober", "We Like 2 Party", "Last Dance"...
Not only recognized for his musical talent, G-Dragon is also a Korean artist with great influence in the fashion field. Currently, he is an ambassador for many luxury brands such as Chanel, Jacob & Co.
G-Dragon is also known as the "Kpop King", one of the most successful Kpop solo artists in history.
