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

Nobody says anything to me now when it comes to Japanese. They actually ask me things. I now have power!

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.

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

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.

For example, when someone does something really, really good one time but has a little mishap later, people will still say, "Ah, that person is not like that. He's a good person. Don't you know what he did last time?" It will become like that. Once you have achieved perfection, the rest will be "free". After that, you can do whatever you want so in order to reach my 100 potential, I have to have a resilient attitude.
