I wanted to emphasize the fact that I'd matured. I wanted to break away from the image of being the youngest member of Big Bang, as well as the image I gave off on variety shows.

I thought I could get everyone's attention by coming up with something that's provocative.

American pop group N'SYNC's. I listened to it endlessly in my dad's car. This also made me wanna be a singer.

I 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).

The eyes, hands and body movements are important to make the dance sexier.

Chopsticks box! I didn't know before and put them on the table and my Japan friends scolded me.

During 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 naïve.
