It's always good to dream big, right?

I'm grateful that the public think of me as a sweet guy, but there are times when I get worried that my behavior would disappoint the public. I'd like to show them that there are different sides of me.

I think K-pop bands rock, and their success raises my spirit to perform better on stage.

I try to be honest with myself.

I've done commercials and won awards, but I know that this won't last forever.

My actual goal when marrying in real life is to live like friends even after marriage.

I'm a very blunt person.

I view myself as a musician and I focus on music - other people may try to focus on the music, but the emphasis is heavily on visuals and performance. They're both equally valid, but different.

It was a dream to be a singer/performer, but I never thought I had a chance or had a real shot; I never thought I was good enough.

I think K-Pop is something that sucks people in because it's open. I can do pop, EDM, rock, R&B and it doesn't matter, K-Pop embraces them all.

It's become hard for me to trust people and though I'm the type to go, 'everybody is born good,' you come to question that.

I look like a 'Sesame Street' character in real life when I wake up. But not like the cute ones, like kind of like the ones that look a little rough around the edges.

Nobody looks good getting out of bed.

So I don't have a normal, regimented schedule at all, but on a normal day, I'd say I wake up around 10 A.M.

I know people love Supreme. I never got on the wagon.

What works in the States doesn't easily translate to the Korean market.

Korean-Americans, Asian-Americans are so unbelievably underrepresented in the U.S. entertainment and media industries and I don't think we are given a real shot.

I'd love to do some collabs or music with Latin artists and in Latin America - we're working on it! I just really love Latin America and the language, culture, foods, people, and it's a place I grew up visiting pretty often.

I think I'm just doing me, my music, my shows, and my stories.

It's easy to talk about how great love is or how you feel heartbroken after a breakup, but it's not as easy to talk about the process of going through the end of a relationship.

I am so excited for where and what K-pop is doing and how it's growing. In the music industry it's not a trend, it's not a quick 'oh this is cool for a minute,' this is a full genre, which is exciting and cool.

I think up until the 'Honestly' album it was very much label-company lead, of 'this is a sound that we need, this is what you need to do. You need to do ballads, you need to do a million different types of love songs,' and I hate ballads and I hate love songs.

Sunbae-hoobae seniority is a very tricky, weird kind of thing.

One way I deal with stress is when I feel a certain way, I just do it. It's like, I want a hamburger, so I'm just going to eat a hamburger. I don't want to answer your phone call right now - I'm not going to answer your phone call. Just be able to say, 'This is how I feel. This is the way it is, deal with it.'
