I like the word 'artist,' but I don't like the word 'artist' inside my house.

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

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.

All the people in Korea are cheering me like I'm a gold medalist or something, so I have a responsibility to my country.

I cannot learn creation from other people; I've got to do it myself. Now, honestly, I regret not studying - I don't know about harmonies, or anything, so if I'm composing a song, it's really hard.

There's no time to be bored. I'm so busy doing the horse dance...

I will bring more Korean dance moves and Korean songs overseas.
