I just listened to regular commercial music from Korea. I would just follow the choreographed dance routines. I didn't have any ambitions of pursuing rapping. I liked dancing, so I did that.

I’m very proud of Seungri. I worked over a year for my album, but one day YG told Seungri to make an album and he made one in just 2 weeks. Ah, maybe 3 weeks. He’s a true genius. I’m jealous of his propulsion.

Stage outfits are loud, outspoken, glamorous, fancy, and very different from normal day-to-day clothing. Therefore, by its nature, it is experimental.

I think a business guy is different from an artist. They walk different paths. Artists create the best outputs when they're having fun. And when a good business partner supports them from the side, it creates great synergy. When someone's trying to do both, I think the music gets bad and the business gets bad, too.

I want to have freedom with everything I do.

When I am doing music, I sometimes become over compulsive to 'always make some new music'. I think I am like this because I sense what others are perceiving me as. If I work extraordinarily hard because of these expectations, I will, but I just cannot produce the good music that I want.

My mom is in charge of my earnings.

I'm not even sure who I really am sometimes.

Because I love shopping, my house is overflowing with clothes. Most of them were bought by myself.
-
When I was still a student, I came out of a performing arts high school, and the female students who were doing traditional dance and ballet were so beautiful. They were beautiful, starting from their postures.

We always focus on the quality of music because as long as the content is good, then the interest will be there.
-
We believe that anything and everything is possible, regardless if it's a domestic or international project.

If you look at the brands that I like, there are brands I like because of the clothes; then, there are brands I like because of their attitude and mentality.

I wasn't trying to be famous when I started making music. I mean, that wasn't the first thing I wanted.
