Some people, they make these assumptions before they even listen to the music.

I go to my mom's house and she'll make me do the dishes or clean up.

I'd rather have quality over quantity. It's about perfecting each song and making sure it's what you want to do. And then even with what I share it's all very strategic.

As a person, I'm just trying to be better than I was yesterday and continue to elevate.

Interestingly, when I look at pictures of me when I was five or six years old, I think I look pretty stylish.

I think the confidence that I have right now is something that was created by the fans who love me.

I love listening to people talking about their love, and it always gives me great energy.

When I don't look cool enough or when I cannot make good music anymore, I will retire.

I've come to realize ways of making music without being excessive.

I just try to look good always.

Before I was physically there in different countries to meet my fans in person, I didn't really realize how famous I was.

Korean people, including me, want to go faster and faster - in music, in fashion, in art, too.

As a musician myself, I wouldn't be confident if I received some other composers' song, because I choose to express myself through the music that I make.

There are albums that I like because of specific songs, but then there are albums that I like as a complete body of work. 'Ghetto Fabolous' is an album I lived with daily.

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.

When I create a song, I immediately think about what I'm going to wear when I perform that song. I think about the music video treatment and about how I'm going to look on stage when I perform the record. The connection is so obvious that it's a single package. An outfit, to me, is almost a tool to express the music.

Don't be afraid. There is no right answer in fashion.

When I perform as a solo, I think a lot about what I always wanted to do but have not done yet.

I want to have daughter, and if I do, I want to make sure she learns ballet.

My mom is in charge of my earnings.

When I was young and didn't know any English, I was drawn by the energy and power of foreign songs and their melodies.

I am a songwriter and producer, and though you have to be personal in everything you do, you always having to look at things from another's perspective.

It would be ridiculous for anyone to consider me the face of Korean art.

The sights you can find here in Paris are second to none.
