Work until your idols become your rivals

A smart man can't beat a hardworking man and a hard working man can't beat a happy working man.

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.

I've thought about how it will make things easier for you. But I can't do that because more than my emotions, the future of Fresh Men is more important. Because more than my pride, my friends are more precious.
-
Am I in a relationship? Yeah. I'm already in a relationship with everybody that likes me.
-
Big Bang is what made me who I am today. With them, I laugh the most, and I feel like I can achieve things
-
Chopsticks box! I didn't know before and put them on the table and my Japan friends scolded me.
-
You're speaking coldly towards me but why is it that my heart isn't getting cold at all? Is it because your heart is saying something else? Is it because there's something else you're hoping that I'll hear? So tell me the real reason. Why are you doing this? I'll become your strength. I have the confidence to do that.

I want to show my true self, not how I want to be seen by others.

When I was producing the first solo album, i just wanted to convey some messages through it. The message was 'no blood will come out even if I am pinned' However, after trying out different kinds of music activities, I started to change and wanted to convey my real emotion that I have in my everyday life. I want to express the feelings that everyone has felt at least once, in music so I think people will feel/understand my songs.
-
I thought I could get everyone's attention by coming up with something that's provocative.
-
Nobody says anything to me now when it comes to Japanese. They actually ask me things. I now have power!
-
I wanted to do things that had never been seen before so a lot of research went into it. Oh, even though I like Justin, but during Strong Baby I did more research on Craig David Daniel Craig for reference.
-
I wanna try being a waiter at restaurant or work to introduce Korea to other people!
-
Every time I work on something, fun comes first. Whatever it is I think if you have fun doing it, the other things will follow. Albums sales or ranking on charts aren't important.
-
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.

TVXQ is our respected sunbae. Their vocal skills are strong, and we've studied much of their performances and choreography.
-
Dark circles are my charisma though.
-
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.

Taeyang'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.
-
I tried singing in a deeper voice by lowering my voice that used to be more delicate.
-
When 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.
-
I'd like to become better at writing music by continuing to study it.

The only thing I have to do in life is die. Everything else is a choice... including breathing.
