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.

You 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.

I never thought about extending the promotions. Maybe I've matured but I feel that a shorter and more powerful promotion is better.

I 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.

[I like] nothing that screams I'm a celebrity. I like simple styles.

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

DBSK are a very idol group that everyone adores.
