BIGBANG's Daesung unveils the meaning behind 'D-Lable', his new label venture

AKP STAFF

Kang Daesung, also known as D-Lite, is a South Korean singer and television personality who gained worldwide fame as a member of the internationally renowned K-pop group BIGBANG. Daesung has captivated audiences with his powerful vocals, impressive stage presence, and enigmatic personality for over a decade.

Daesung debuted as a member of BIGBANG in 2006 under YG Entertainment. The group quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the most successful and influential K-pop groups ever. BIGBANG's unique sound, edgy fashion sense, and dynamic performances set them apart from other groups in the industry, and Daesung's soulful and passionate voice was a key element of their music.

After a remarkable sixteen-year tenure with YG Entertainment, Daesung decided to part ways with the agency last year. On December 26, 2022, YG Entertainment officially confirmed that Daesung had chosen not to renew his contract, opting instead for a new chapter and a fresh start in his career.

On April 3, 2023, the media widely covered the news of Daesung joining a new agency called R&D Company. The agency confirmed that Daesung had signed into an exclusive contract with them and that they had established a dedicated label for him called "D-LABLE." This unique spelling of "LABLE" instead of the conventional "LABEL" piqued the curiosity of fans, who speculated about the possible reasons behind it. Some fans even wondered if it was a spelling mistake.

Daesung, through his YouTube channel D'splay, revealed that the name "D-Lable" was intentionally chosen and not a spelling mistake. He explained that it was derived from his Japanese nickname, "D-Lite," where he took the letters "D" and "L" from the nickname and combined them with the word "able." Daesung further stated that as it's his first time working with a company other than YG, he wanted to include a message of support for himself that he can do it, as the word 'able' suggests. Additionally, Daesung mentioned that "D-Lable" was like a little secret code between him and his fans, who would understand the true meaning behind it.

Fans are eagerly anticipating what Daesung's new journey with his new agency will bring. As an established artist with a solid fanbase, Daesung has a promising future ahead. Daesung himself expressed his excitement about his new chapter and is looking forward to new challenges and opportunities. He also expressed his determination to continue to work hard and show his growth as an artist.

His Channel, D'splay was a cute little inside joke between the fans and Daesung for a long time. It's a really good channel, I totally suggest it for new fans. Only up from here Daesung. 🤟🏻
