The world's most famous and popular language is music.

As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I'm a very positive person.

When I signed with Scooter Braun and I decided to go overseas to promote my song, the only concern was how should I communicate with the public and the audience with my language. Scooter and I talked a lot about that: should we translate or not? Finally we didn't, and I think that was a really good decision.

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.

Everything moves way too fast.

Thanks to many great K-pop singers, the groundwork has been laid for more Korean songs to be readily accessible to an overseas audience via channels like YouTube.

It's tiring to be asked the same questions all day long: 'What is Gangnam style?' and 'Teach me how to dance.'
