Because Bobby and I are both under the category of idols, I think it became a larger controversy. I hope that many people are able to realize that within hip-hop, this is a way to express yourself and that it's natural.

When G-Dragon released 'Heart Breaker', I remember it. The reactions to when that was released as opposed to 'One of a Kind' is really like heaven and hell.

To be honest, my goal is very clear. It's to have many people listen to my music. I want to confirm my existence even more by standing on a large stage.

I knew Zico hyung ever since I was a young child. I believe that hyung's actions in general show me a lot. It gives me help, but also stimulates me.

Why do you do smoky makeup, why do you try to act pretty on broadcast, etc. For hip-hop where purity is important and masculinity plays a large part, I believe it's definitely a critique that could come out.

I understand that people have a critical mind towards my position. And receive a lot of confusion too.

I liked hip-hop, wanted to do rap, and wanted to stand on a large stage. If you look at it in another angle... it's something that I chose.
