Translation : G-DRAGON has over 120 songs listed on Korea Music Copyright Association and is known to earn about 100000000₩s a year.
G-DRAGON's gestures may make him look 'cocky' but G-DRAGON says this. "I'm just doing what I do, Music. In Korean, especially separate idols and artists but I believe idols are artists."
"Reason why I get good comments is because people think that my music is from ME not what others make for me."
Q: When did you decide to become an artist?
"In 4th grade I heard the song "Cream" by "Wu-Tang Clan" and I was shocked and inspired by it."
G-DRAGON won first place in a dance festival at a ski resort and he caught SM's eyes and trained in SM for 5 years.
Q: What music do you listen to lately?
"There's an album I listen to everyday. It's by this rapper,Trinidad James."
"I had a compulsive need to make "New" things every time I writes a new song but now I feel like that's changing."
"Teddy from 1TYM is my life mentor."
"Although I'm young, I spent half of my life on stage. I'm the most confident when I'm on stage. However on Variety shows, I am not better than other comedians so I become shy and my weak spots show up."
I think everyone has something like "Pain of creation" It became harder to expose my thoughts to the world. The pain of creation increases but when I see my fans who love my music,the pain disappears like nothing happened.
I learned a lot from Teddy since I was little. My music is always consulted by him. He is my music and life mentor."
Q: What do you do in your free time?
"I like traveling and I get musical inspirations as I rest."
G-DRAGON said he had got inspirations from movie quotes and as he talked with objects.
"I want to do music regardless of the genre. I don't want people to like me because I'm G-DRAGON or BIGBANG or YG but because of my music.
I think I'd be happy if I could grow up as I do music without any big disorder. Oh. And I don't want to lose my "feels"."
When we asked if G-DRAGON ever has plans of becoming a CEO like YG/SM/JYP, he said he never really thought about it.
G-DRAGON was chosen as the #1 idol who would be the next YG/JYP/SM but G-DRAGON said he "fears" it.
"Even if I run a business I feel like it would be under YG's help (Laughs) I think musicians look the best as a musician. But if I had to run a business, I kinda want to do something with people who has same interest in me in fashion & culture."
Q: When was the happiest moment?
"I'm happy now but sometimes I take things for granted since I'm a human. When I was a trainee, I only worked for one goal, music. I was the happiest in my trainee years."
Q: What is music to you?
"Music is music. Nothing more, nothing less. Whenever you listen, you become happy and relieved."
"It's important to convey a message in a song but also it should be a song that makes a moment good and memorable."
YG Entertainment said G-DRAGON's world tour will start out in Korea, Japan and go to many countries around the world.
