Seung Ri is from Kwangjoo, the sixth major city in Korea. As we can see in the Big Bang Documentary, it's quite a long commute between the two. Before Big Bang, he was a member of Ilhwan, a Kwangjoo dance team.

In summer 2005, Seung Ri appeared on an episode of Battle Shinhwa, a TV show to find the second Shinhwa (a famous boyband) through auditions. The band Battle is the result of that TV show. In the thirteenth episode, he was cut because his singing wasn't impressive enough, even though his dancing was.

Lee Seung Hyun was never given vocal lessons until he entered YG Entertainment and now is receiving vocal training.
