Bobby made references to me a few times on Show Me The Money. He seemed to enjoy using words like 'sangnamja (T/N: true man, also the title for 'Boy in Luv') and 'leading a fast life' (T/N: pronounced as Bangtang). Saying "Like a true man, I lead a fast life" isn't a common mix of words, right? I thought that it wasn't just a coincidence.
Kim Nam-joonTo 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.

Kim Nam-joonI 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.
Kim Nam-joonI personally respect Bobby. He does really well on stage. Although I don't think his raps are exceptional or that he has a wide spectrum, his ability to dominate the stage is good, and he has a cool style of hip-hop that rappers aren't able to achieve.
