[INTERVIEW] G-DRAGON'S 1ST JAPANESE PICTORIAL INTERVIEW (3/4): ABOUT BIGBANG
Ah I understand. Are the BIGBANG members scared of you then?
Not really….(laughs), but I was scared the first time I met Taeyang. Our personalities are complete opposites. I used to be more introverted when I was young but now he is the one that’s introverted. I was quite shy when I saw him for the first time but ever since we started training together and going through thick and thin, we know what the other is thinking now just by glancing at one another. We have no misunderstandings with each other. Like Taeyang, all the members are like family to me and I say this from the bottom of my heart. It’s a special kind of existence and we all respect each other.
By the way, if Taeyang was a color what color would he be?
Red….because he’s taeyang (sun). He gives off the impression that he’s a flame that is always burning. He looks cool on the outside but has a lot of passion on the inside.
That’s kind of like GD yourself. What about Daesung?
After getting to know Daesung, I realized how important one’s personality is. He is especially gentle and everything becomes brighter when he is around. If he was a color, it would be yellow. Like a lightbulb to shine everywhere. And then Seungri…I didn’t have a good first impression of him (laughs). Seungri became a member of BIGBANG by going through the BIGBANG auditions, and I also knew that he participated in a lot of other auditions while surfing on the Internet. That’s why I didn’t have a good impression of him. I even wanted to discipline him…
Can’t believe he left that impression on you (laughs).
Seungri is the type of person that’s very greedy…and has a lot of passion for a lot of things. Of course it would be good if he used it in the right place, but I’m very sorry to say that he presents himself very poorly (bitter laughs). He should find a particular thing and put all his focus on it, but his attention span is only 3 mins long and then he will shift on to another new thing. He always gives up after awhile. When I see that, I always have the feeling that “ah…he’s still so young”. If he was a color, he would be ivory - not yellow & not white…he’s still not at the phase where he can build his own distinct color yet and so I think he will have the biggest change when he grows up. But no matter what, I still think he’s a very tame and adorable kid.
As for TOP, I’ve known him since high school. He was a well known enemy of mine back then but 3-4yrs later by a random encounter, I saw him again and he greeted me first. After we talked through our misunderstandings, we began to open up to each other and could talk about anything.
So you invited him to be part of BIGBANG?
Ah….everyone must think TOP is an especially handsome and perfect guy with no faults right? Actually he has a lot of weaknesses (laughs) but I think that’s what makes him so charming. If I had to give him a color, it would be pink. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen or heard him once but he gives off a powerful impression that will make people remember him. Only TOP can do that!!
And then what color are you?
Transparent and no color. When a dye drops onto a cloth, that cloth will have color. I want to become a person like that, and I’m working hard in that area. You can say that I’m slowly transforming from a boy to a man.
During performances on stage, GD gives off the impression that he’s hard to get close to but when you MC, you seem much friendlier and you look innocent and childlike.
I’m different on stage and off stage. When I’m off stage, I change back into a normal person. I really dislike acting high and mighty just because I’m a celebrity. Anyhow, as long as I’m on stage I will try my best to finish my performance flawlessly. In order to give a best stage performance, it is important that I completely absorb myself into the center of the stage.
