I never expect I would become a K-pop star.

There's a lot of variety of musicians in Korea. I cannot say they are the best in the world, but I can say that Korean artists are really dynamic artists, so I am going to show that from now on.

The word we have in Korea for K-Pop is 'Gaio.' And I guess it's a huge umbrella term. Basically it's like saying Coldplay and Kanye West, or Eminem and Celine Dion, are the same genre.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

There's more to being a musician than just making music.

I prefer to think of myself as a musician who is still learning and trying to do something every time out.

I consider myself a musician.

I've also become much more the musician I've always wanted to be.
