I'm the type to tell stories while letting myself go.

I 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.

Taeyang's [music] is like hamburgers. He'll produces various flavors while staying within the boundaries of them being hamburgers such as a chicken burger and shrimp burger.

I want to show people my appeal through my simplicity rather than being 'I'm good looking; I know how to dress' that kind of way.

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.

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.

Japanese movie "Be With You" served as inspiration for "Love Box." I couldn't fill up the album with just my experiences.
