I wanted the song to contain various meanings, and what I wanted in particular was to appeal to the audience with my charms as a man.

I told myself I'd do well by using the experience I gained during my seven years as Big Bang. In my mind, the executive producer is the person that is in charge of everything up to the point that the album comes out. So not just the music but also the music video, album artwork, photographs, and even the material the album itself would be made out of.

It's good to listen to electronic music when you're stressed out because you will feel a release afterwards.

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

I wanted to show that 'I'm sexy'. I wanted to do things that other male solo artists hadn't done before, such as choreography that has a tempting allure.

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.

Nobody in Big Bang receives vocal lessons anymore. We're impossible to teach because we already have very distinctive colors.
