I'd rather be just a Korean musician as opposed to, you know, a K-Pop musician.

There are incredible musicians around the world.

I want to help promote Korean music around the world.

Korean audiences are amazing. The fans scream so loud, and that really surprises skaters when they first perform in my shows.

The popularity of figure skating has increased tremendously, and Koreans have a huge interest in figure skaters - not only me, other international skaters as well.

Definitely the Korean culture is very strong to me, and I grew up in Hawaii where Asian-Americans are the dominant culture, but I never thought of myself as the minority.

Obviously, I've made several films in Korea, so I'm very well accustomed and acclimated to Korean filmmaking.

Korean cinema is very improvisational, and there is a unique power that stems from this.

Koreans are hilarious.

I have a lot of Japanese fans, but in Korea they seem to go crazy for me. I don't know what it is, but they seem to like my style.
