Wherever I go and whatever I do, I am Taeyang and Dong Young Bae.

We've also started promoting in Japan, and compared to TVXQ sunbaes, we still have to secure a place. We all like TVXQ very much. We hope this time we'll use the chance to become more intimate with the members.

Rather than becoming the best, I want to become a singer with meaning.

I really like my eyes, nose, and lips. I especially like my nose. I really like my lips too. I think my lips are sexy.
