If a Korean artist reaches to the top, we're all ready to stand up and applaud for him or her.
I never expect I would become a K-pop star.
The basic principle I have is that what is most Korean is what is the most international. I don't want to come here and act like I'm an American. I want to showcase the dynamic potential Korea has, and I want to prove that as an artist.
I will bring more Korean dance moves and Korean songs overseas.
My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.
In Korea, it's a tradition to inherit your father's business. Unfortunately, I'm the only son in the entire family, so they were forcing too much.
