If I'm more distinct or if I stand out in front of the hyungs then it's not balanced. I've tried that a few times before but it's not coordinated well.
SeungriI'm the maknae. All my clothes are picked by my stylist because I don't have an eye for fashion.
SeungriIf the majority of people said I did something wrong, then I must be wrong, and I will think 'I didn't even mean it like that, why are you treating me like this?' But if a lot of people say that I'm wrong and it's not good, then it must be not good. I will say, 'Okay' and then tell myself that this cannot happen again. I have to grasp it and change it for the better.
SeungriWomen like this kind of rebel image in men because there's a thrill in it, especially for those who are tired and burdened with their lives.
SeungriI wanted to do things that had never been seen before so a lot of research went into it. Oh, even though I like Justin, but during Strong Baby I did more research on Craig David Daniel Craig for reference.
SeungriYou could say that too much time has passed for us to take up new styles so it's entirely up to us to improve. I personally wanted to produce a voice that's different from when I did "V.V.I.P" so I put a lot of effort into finding my voice.
SeungriI watched and learned about music as a member of Big Bang. Of course it's important to show my charms as an artist by showing my abilities but that's what our solo activities are for.
SeungriI still want to be the cute maknae of the group so rather than growing out my moustache and saying that I've matured and that "I'm a man", I would rather show people how I've grown up little by little through my personality.
SeungriAll the songwriters that I worked with said they'd like to work with me again. Such things serve as much inspiration for me. I regard myself a melody maker so it made me happy to be recognized for my work.
SeungriWhen asked, "What do you think love is?" a lot of people speak of things that are painful or lingering. I wanted to talk about various sides to love. Things such as the excitement, happiness, parting, pain, regret regarding love.
SeungriIt's such a hard and scary position to be in...G-Dragon hyung is under so much pressure and there's a lot of hard work involved.
SeungriG-Dragonhe is very romantic. Iโm his roommate so I see everything. Heโs seriously romantic. If he dates someone he makes a song for them. One time he asked me how the song was. And I said oh my god if this was released in Korea thereโd be a huge deal and it would make so much money. Butโฆ since itโs for the woman he loves itโs only for her and gives up that money/fame from that song.
SeungriI wanted to show that 'I'm sexy'. I wanted to do things that other male solo artists hadn't done before, such as choreography that has a tempting allure.
SeungriG-Dragon's music is like sushi. It's sophisticated and has different flavors. His music also changes depending on how much he cooks it.
SeungriIt won't suit me anyway if I suddenly do rock or traditional R&B because I grew up as a member of Big Bang, and therefore I'm used to it.
SeungriThe members of my group are the ones who know me the best. They've watched me grow the most, so only my hyungs can see the things that other people can't. It may not just be 1 thing, but 10 other things.
SeungriI never thought about extending the promotions. Maybe I've matured but I feel that a shorter and more powerful promotion is better.
SeungriI have lots of desires - good body, nice skin, cute, beautiful, knows how to cook, concentrates on her work, a girl that's worth the respect.
SeungriI put in the sounds of instruments such as the guitar and piano, which everybody hears often, and tried to go with melodies that would sound familiar. Rather than trying to do music that I want to do, I focused on doing music that I want my fans to hear.
SeungriJiyong hyung's mind can go wild and think a lot of things. This was my first time writing my own lyrics so I only thought about myself, but Jiyong hyung won't do that. He'll think, 'Ah, this type of rap suits T.O.P., this part suits Seungri.' That's how he writes lyrics, but I can't do that yet.
SeungriI told myself I'd do well by using the experience I gained during my seven years as Big Bang. In my mind, the executive producer is the person that is in charge of everything up to the point that the album comes out. So not just the music but also the music video, album artwork, photographs, and even the material the album itself would be made out of.
SeungriFor me, how the person with me feels is more important than how I feel. I like making people around me feel happy.
SeungriJapanese movie "Be With You" served as inspiration for "Love Box." I couldn't fill up the album with just my experiences.
SeungriI wanted to deliver the emotions a man feels when he's in love. For example, through song "GG BE," I wanted to the express the feelings of being deceived by a woman (the song also contains the woman's counterargument).
SeungriI like being cheerful. Isn't it nice to be able to have fun and laugh while doing interviews?
SeungriI shopped with G-Dragon a long time ago but now that we live together, I can't buy clothes with him.
SeungriDon't believe in success. Rather than that, believe in the amount of your effort and passion.
SeungriI'd like to do music in the same way - in a witty way. People think of YG artists as rarely appearing on TV but I'd like to make Big Bang fans happy through various mediums.
Seungri"GG BE." I expressed how a guy's love for his woman is dying out because he is tired of how she lies to him all the time. And the woman in the song is waiting for me to break up with her. You know how some people prefer to get dumped than do the dumping, right? I expressed all this, which could happen to anyone, in a Seungri-like way.
SeungriDuring shows and interviews, I want to tell people exactly how I feel and I thought that if I am honest and straightforward, then people will accept my words for what it is, but that's not how it works. My way of thinking is too naรฏve.
SeungriIt's good to listen to electronic music when you're stressed out because you will feel a release afterwards.
