Before joining YG Entertainment, Seung Hyun was an underground rapper under the name Tempo; he is childhood friends with G-Dragon. They were "neighborhood friends since middle school" and often danced and rapped together. Although G-Dragon later moved away and the two "grew apart," they got in touch again when Seung Hyun was among the candidates to form a boy band under YG Entertainment. The two recorded several demos and sent them to Yang Hyun Suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, who later asked Seung Hyun to audition. Seung Hyun was initially rejected by the label, because he was deemed too "chubby" to fit the "idealistic" version of an idol. Seung Hyun later stated that he "went home and worked out really hard because he wanted to join YG Entertainment." Six months later, he returned for another audition and signed with him. Choi Seung Hyun was given the stage name TOP (Korean: 탑) by fellow YG artist Se7en. He became one of two rappers in the group Big Bang, alongside G-Dragon.
