Ah so your body is filled with music and rhythm. Tell me, how do you feel when you hear the loud support from the Japanese fans?
Truth be told, it’s unbelievable that so many people know of us. We sing in Korean but Japanese fans can actually sing along with us. I feel very, very happy but since there are a lot of restrictions, we can’t be in close contact with the fans like we do during concerts in Korea. It makes me worried during that time because I value the close distance between the fans - I’ve experienced the joyfulness of this first hand when I was young. I went to a concert of my favorite singer at the time and during one of his performances, that person shook my hands and I felt especially happy. I will never forget that feeling, and that’s why I want to spread that feeling to our fans.
Ah….what does GD want the most right now?
Freedom.
(laughs) Then….what do you think is the most important thing in life?
I think it’s still friends. I’m not afraid to do anything now since there’s BIGBANG, but even after I leave this group in the future I still want to have friends around wherever I go. Even when I start a new love relationship, I’m the type of person to date within my group of friends. I’m surrounded by people with distinct charm and I always feel they lead me forward.
What’s your ambition towards the future of BIGBANG and your own goal?
I don’t want to be a balloon that soars up to the sky and then immediately breaks apart. I want to grow with the fans; be it a few years or 10yrs. I want people to look back and remember how I was during my time in BIGBANG…I want them to remember our songs forever…just like how hip-hop touched my life. I want people to never forget our group. I’m not the type of person that aims to be number 1, but I don’t want to be number 2. If I knew I was going to be number 2 from the very beginning, I don’t think I would even think of becoming a singer.
My biggest mission or goal in life is to achieve something that I can accept - the highest form of achievement. Nevertheless, I want to keep experiencing new things and challenge myself by trying out different genres of music and I hope I can be able to find my own distinct color after 10 years. However, music isn’t something I should enjoy on my own. If fans can fulfill their dreams after listening to my songs or if it can soothe their soul when they feel sad, I will keep making music in different styles - as long as my music can stay with my fans forever.
Finally, what do you want to say to our readers?
If after reading this interview can make you understand more about BIGBANG and I, then I’m contented. But…you can only understand more if you come to our live shows. Hope to meet all of you during our next concert!
