Jang Hyun-seung was raised in Seoul, South Korea. He has
a younger sister named Geurim.[3] His father died in the early morning of
September 20, 2012 from a sudden heart attack. He previously appeared in the
same episode with Hyunseung on KBS's talk show, Win Win, earlier in 2012 with
other fathers of the Beast members.
Hyunseung currently attends Dongshin University under a
full scholarship, along with 4 other members of Beast. He is majoring in
Applied Music. He is nicknamed "4D Prince".
Predebut
In 2004, at the age of 15, Hyun-seung 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.
For 1 year and 4 months, Hyun-seung was a trainee for
YG's newest boy band, 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 groups predebut 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 felt that Hyun-seung's expressiveness and stage presence were
underdeveloped at the time. Fellow Beast member Yoon Doo-joon decided to become
a singer after watching the Big Bang documentary featuring Hyun-seung.
Hyunseung refers to his experience at YG as important to his development as an
artist.
Hyun-seung later met future fellow band member Yang
Yo-seob while they were working as dancers for a show performance team. Yo-seob
convinced Hyun-seung to join Cube Entertainment, leading to him debuting with
Beast.
