After signing a contract with the record label, G-Dragon spent the first year cleaning after the other artists in the record label. He later met Dong Young Bae, another trainee.

After six years of training and several featured appearances on other artists' albums, G-Dragon made his official debut as the leader of the group Big Bang alongside Young Bae (now using the stage name Taeyang) and four other trainees.
