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.

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

For me, how the person with me feels is more important than how I feel. I like making people around me feel happy.

Growing a moustache wouldn't really coordinate with the group dynamics.

Everyone's talking about insoles nowadays, saying that it's a male necessity. To tell you the truth, I always use it because for people like me that started dancing at a very young age, it's more stable for me if my heel is pushed back a little. I wear it because it can make me dance better. But of course, since I wear it, my legs look longer too.

I used to be very ambitious. But reality taught me that ambition won't get you everything you want. You need more than just passion and hope. It's important to do what I'm good at and suits me.

Reality is that even if you come out with a really good song, all will go to waste without good promotion.
