Reality is that even if you come out with a really good song, all will go to waste without good promotion.

Challenges aren't frightening, defeats aren't terrifying either. A principle that I now insist and persist on is the understanding that you can fulfill your dreams when you work hard and don't give up.

I was an actor in Japan and I'm a regular on about three shows. I'm grateful for all of it. My personal activities like that help Big Bang as a whole as well.

I learned how to play hard to get (push and pull) from my teacher Kwon Jiyong.

I'm the only member of the team that seeks to do pop music. I want to do music that anyone can like and enjoy.

Don't believe in success. Rather than that, believe in the amount of your effort and passion.

For example, when someone does something really, really good one time but has a little mishap later, people will still say, "Ah, that person is not like that. He's a good person. Don't you know what he did last time?" It will become like that. Once you have achieved perfection, the rest will be "free". After that, you can do whatever you want so in order to reach my 100 potential, I have to have a resilient attitude.
