I’m always the same. Whether I’m solo or with Big Bang, the one thing I have to do is sing and dance. I started solo activities with the things I did well with Big Bang, and I’ll show the things I learned while doing solo through Big Bang. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I am Taeyang and Dong Young Bae.

Without even knowing, a person goes around scattering their heart. That's why if you're with a smiling person, you end up smiling with them.

I'm certain that I will be able to do music that's more like me as I get to know more about myself. I think that is an artist's fate. You have to keep trying to find your own world and express it.

TVXQ has always chased after different music styles, and their members all have very strong talents.

Seeing TVXQ's music and stage makes me feel touched, and they're a very good influence on us.

Whether it's a designer or a musician, I think the most important thing for people who express things are to be unique. There should be something unique only to them.

I sing with all my heart and when I see the audience feel it too, I feel so touched I get goosebumps…To my fans, I would like to say, 'I will work harder', rather than to say, 'I love you' because I believe that sincerity has its way of getting across to touch hearts.
