We made our debut in Japan about few years ago and when we went on a morning show there to promote our album, I did a brief interview in Japanese using simple expressions such as "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." But one of the members of our group said, "Stay quiet if you can't speak Japanese! It's embarrassing!" So that's when I told myself that I'd show how good I am by studying Japanese hard.

All 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.

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

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.

Daniel Craig is the new James Bond. I did a lot of research on him too but during the promotions, I focused mainly on Johnny Depp. There's a mysterious charm about him just by the way he looks, talks and moves.

If a person hides the truth or says something fake on variety shows or interviews, it will still be found out no matter how careful they are.

I shopped with G-Dragon a long time ago but now that we live together, I can't buy clothes with him.
