TaeyangI think in the end, you know, we're just addicted to oil.

Science is always looking for better explanations to everything, but that doesn't mean that when we get on a plane we don't know what's supposed to happen next. And if it doesn't go the way that it's planned, that's a big, big problem. The culture wars are very tricky and make me a little sad.

These fans in China love the sport, and they have more players playing than we have people living in the US.
