Life and career[edit]

1994–2009: Early life[edit]

Kang Seung-yoon was born in Haeundae District, Busan, South Korea, on January 21, 1994, as a Catholic with the baptismal name Don Bosco and as an only child.[1][2][3] Raised by his single mother, his parents divorced within the early portion of his childhood and was no longer in contact with his father who chose to depart from their lives until news of his death was relayed long after his passing.[4] His mother owned a business but suffered financially from balancing out the accumulated debt.[5] It resulted in her entire profits being allocated towards the debt and so, was in need to borrow more money for additional costs which in turn, resulted in both further liabilities and a bad credit rating and brought more hardship.[5]

In school, he excelled in mathematics with an IQ of 141;[6] however, in his second year of middle school, he became a victim of bullying by those he considered "friends" and dropped out of middle school after he developed social anxiety.[7][8] In this period of time, he learned to play the classical guitar from an academy and briefly took classes for billiards where he encountered a man 5–6 years older than him who later helped with his anxiety.[9][10][8] He then decided to pursue a career as a classical guitarist juxtaposed to his choices as a child which included to delve into politics, become a scientist, a comic book writer or a billiards player – which he became the eventual regional youth representative of and actively played until first year of high school.[11] He took the GED examination for middle school and enrolled at Busan High School of Arts with a major in classic guitar but later considered to be a singer.[12][11] Kang graduated in 2012.[13]

2010–2013: Commercial success and solo debut[edit]

17-year-old Kang (Korean age) attended the regional preliminary audition for Superstar K2 (2010).[14] Initially reluctant due to conflict in perception of using mass media to gain fame opposed to becoming successful without it, he yielded at his friend's request when asked to audition with him, and so, took guitar lessons to further hone his skills three months prior to it.[15] Kang passed the preliminaries with "This Time" by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and overall placed fourth behind Huh Gak, John Park and Jang Jae-in amongst over 1,350,000 applicants.[16][17][18] His rendition of "Instinctively" (본능적으로; bonneungjeog-eulo) by Yoon Jong-shin in his last stage received praise by both judges and audience alike.[17] Its digital release led Kang to his first number-one single as a solo artist and neared 2 million digital copies in sales.[19][20] Its success won him, "Rookie of the Year" at the Gaon Chart Awards and "Rookie of the Month (October)" at the Cyworld Digital Music Awards.[21] CEO Yang Hyun-suk of YG Entertainment and Psy invited Kang to a meeting to propose an offer to join them under a trainee status.[22] Kang signed with them on January 12, 2011, and began training on March 9.[23] He explained: "Since Superstar K2 ended, there were a lot of offers. Some said they would make me a star of Asia, and some offered a great amount of money for a contract. I chose YG Entertainment because this agency evaluated me objectively, unlike others I was viewed as an actual trainee."[24]

In the midst of his trainee period, Kang participated as the fourth artist to release the original soundtrack for Midas (2011). "You Are Heaven" (니가 천국이다; niga cheongug-ida) topped both real-time and daily South Korean music streaming platforms, which include Genie, and peaked at number 11 on the Gaon Digital Chart.[25] That same year, he received an offer to audition for High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged (2011), which hundreds of individuals lined up for.[22] With no prior experience in acting, Kang auditioned in his Busan dialect and later met with the writers.[22] Although they did not have a place for him amongst the current roles, a new role was specifically curated for him in spurt of the moment.[22] Kang starred alongside Lee Jong-suk and Krystal Jung.[26] In correlation to its soundtrack he collaborated with Lee Juck on "Smile, My Love" (웃어라 그대; useola geudae) which entered the Gaon Digital Chart at number 79.[27] The third installation of the "High Kick" series aired from September 19, 2011, to March 29, 2012.[28]

Artistry[edit]

Musicality and songwriting[edit]

"Since I was playing the guitar all the time at the company, Yang Hyun-suk said, ‘Kang Seung Yoon, how come whenever you write a song, it's always ‘7080’? [...] I had the thought that I shouldn't touch the guitar while making music with Winner [...] It's because the direction that Winner is going in is a little different" — Kang Seung-yoon in Knowing Bros[79]

Kang has since been a registered associate member of the Korea Music Copyright Association and was one of twenty-five with band-mate Mino, to be promoted to the status of "full member" in January 2021.[81] The requirements for the promotion include to maintain an associate membership for three years or more, receive a "certain amount" in royalties from copyrighted property each year, and also be selected by the board of directors.[81] They are also given the right to vote at their general meetings.[81]

Kang revealed he was born with weak vocal cords and when not kept in check, he can entirely lose his voice for a whole week. His ENT doctor however, cited he does well in producing sounds with his condition in such that does not hurt nor affect him.[82]

Influence[edit]

In photography, Kang cited Henri Cartier-Bresson as his main inspiration towards the art and so refers to him as the "master of black and white photography", his favorite medium.[83]

Public image[edit]

Kang became known and rose to prominence at age 16 after he competed in Superstar K2.[11] He is often identified for his powerful baritone voice and usage of guitar and so he was often dubbed as a "rocker kid".[11]

Following the cancellation of contemporary casual clothing brand PLAC's 'by YOU' collection in collaboration with Seungyoon and bandmate Mino showcase event, scheduled on February 28, 2020, due to safety issues in relation to the recent coronavirus pandemic, the funds they raised towards the showcase was used to donate 10,000 masks for low-income children.[98]

In December 2021, Kang participated in a recording of an audio guide for an exhibition at the Korea National Maritime Museum in Busan entitled "Wonderworld Maps: Connecting Longingness Beyond the Horizon."
