I'm a human. When I got hit in front of people of course I was angry so that's why my expression was like that.
SeungriI'm the only member of the team that seeks to do pop music. I want to do music that anyone can like and enjoy.
SeungriI 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.
SeungriIf I had more time, I could've utilized the stage more and turned it into my own but since I used all my energy writing and producing songs, my mind was blank when it came to my performances. That's what I regret the most.
SeungriTo be honest, if I wanted to, I could talk all night about my members too but I won't do that.
SeungriI'm not the type of person to act one way in front of the camera and another when it's off. What you see is what you get.
SeungriFor 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.
SeungriWhen I do something wrong, members will think it's because I'm the maknae and things will be ok.
SeungriNobody in Big Bang receives vocal lessons anymore. We're impossible to teach because we already have very distinctive colors.
SeungriNobody says anything to me now when it comes to Japanese. They actually ask me things. I now have power!
SeungriStretching exercises in the morning for face & body or my body feels heavy and I can't do anything else.
SeungriThat's still a mystery but people think that Seungri has a lot of stories, is interesting and special.
SeungriWe 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.
SeungriChallenges aren't frightening, defeats aren't terrifying either. A principle that I now insist and persist on is the understanding that you can fulfill your dreams when you work hard and don't give up.
SeungriIt doesn't matter as long as you're there to enjoy the atmosphere. How else am I an entertainer?
SeungriFighting and arguing amongst brothers are normal. Living together can also cause disagreements. I don't think it will work if there's none.
SeungriAmerican pop group N'SYNC's. I listened to it endlessly in my dad's car. This also made me wanna be a singer.
SeungriI was an actor in Japan and I'm a regular on about three shows. I'm grateful for all of it. My personal activities like that help Big Bang as a whole as well.
SeungriI 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.
SeungriIf 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.
SeungriI want to be able to fill in all the voids. I want people to say, "Ah Seungri will do whatever he can." I want to become this type of person: "Once Seungri has said it, he will go ahead and change/do it."
SeungriI 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.
SeungriWhen I enter a club and hear my song being played, I feel like it's not really my song and when I see people dancing to my song, I feel like jumping up on stage and treating them to drinks.
SeungriChopsticks box! I didn't know before and put them on the table and my Japan friends scolded me.
SeungriI wanted to emphasize the fact that I'd matured. I wanted to break away from the image of being the youngest member of Big Bang, as well as the image I gave off on variety shows.
SeungriI like the type of music that can make my heart beat and the melody that makes me high but this type of music isn't popular in Korea.
SeungriI made hyung frustrated when I was cheering behind him. Even though I don't know if I was hit hard but it didn't hurt. People then started saying that Big Bang wasn't getting along and that Seungri was being bullied by the members, things like that.
SeungriI'm a star player when it comes to being sociable. It's because I'm inquisitive. When I meet someone for the first time, I want to start up a conversation with them.
Seungri[Elbowing incident] was a joke but what I want to say now is that I'm a bit sad that everyone failed to see that.
SeungriReality is that even if you come out with a really good song, all will go to waste without good promotion.
SeungriSometimes when I go out and drink with my friends, they will say, "Seungri, don't be discouraged. I like Seungri. Why do you walk with your head down? Have more confidence, lift your head and walk." I guess friends understand each other.
SeungriYou can write that it's because I still like Justin. Sexy back means sexiness. Did Strong Baby give off the same sexy feeling as my song now? I write it according to the feeling I get.
SeungriTaeyang'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.
SeungriEverything I do is more memorable and I understand music more than ever now. It's not a burden to me.
SeungriEveryone'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.
SeungriThere's nothing I can do about looking short. I'm born this way. And my face is on the long side so I look even shorter on screen. It's not an issue that can be solved by inserting extra heels into my shoes.
SeungriLots of people will contact me on Friday night, male and female. Everyone likes me because it's always a fun time being with me. I'm the life of the party, really. It doesn't matter the situation because I'll always bring the mood up.
