Kang Dae Sung is a South Korean singer, dancer, musical actor, and member of BIGBANG (빅뱅). He dropped out of high school and later passed the High School Graduation Certification Examination. He later obtained a bachelor's degree in Leisure Sports from International Cyber ​​University.

He made his debut in August 2006 as BIGBANG's lead vocalist with their first single album, also titled "BigBang". Their debut received lukewarm reactions from the public and critics, but later, singles began getting more attention, and soon, they topped all the music charts and managed to increase their popularity across Asia. They are called the "Kings of K-Pop" as they helped spread the South Korean wave internationally and are considered one of the most influential acts in pop music thanks to their trendsetting musical experimentation, self-production, and stage presence.

Following the group's huge success, they decided to go on hiatus to focus on their individual activities. He made his debut as a solo artist in June 2008 with the trot single "Look at Me, Gwisoon". Then, he began participating in variety shows as a host and made his debut as a musical actor with a role in the Korean version of "Cats".

In May 2011, he was involved in a car accident in which a motorcyclist died. The police investigation cleared him of all charges, but he decided to go on hiatus for 6 months. He returned in November of that year when he appeared in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the MTV Europe Music Awards. In February 2013, he made his debut in Japan with the album "D'scover".

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on March 13, 2018, and was discharged on November 10, 2019. He left YG Entertainment (YG엔터테인먼트) in December 2022.

After serving, he has continued to promote as a solo artist and made a special appearance (alongside Taeyang) during G-Dragon's stage at the 2024 MAMA Awards in Osaka, marking BIGBANG's first live performance in 7 years. He is currently represented by D-Lable (디레이블), a dedicated department set up by RND Company (알앤디컴퍼니) exclusively for him.
