SEUNGRI'S INTERVIEW IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

its a long read, but totally worth it. i hope more fellow VIPs would take time to read because his answers and thoughts are so beautiful... they were honest and sincere. It's great to hear Seungri talk about his music and how his album came about. It was also interesting to hear his views on Big Bang, his members and YG in general. It really showed how much he has matured all these years. so proud of him!

some quotes that stood out for me...

"There are times when painting red, blue, black, green and purple on a white piece of drawing paper will becomes a work of art. That’s what Big Bang is like. We all have distinctive colors but every picture we draw turns out great."

"But in the process I started to wonder why I hadn’t done music earlier. I realized while working on this album that I love music.... If “Strong Baby” was about me getting my name known, this time I wanted people to know what style of music I do."

"Nobody is as humane as the members of Big Bang. Everyday is like a sitcom. I drink often with T.O.P and G-Dragon and I go to church with Daesung and Taeyang so we study the bible together. But we all stay cool-headed when it comes to work... I think that’s why Big Bang’s music is about what all five of us really wanted to do and hear."

"It’s the same in our business well. Age means nothing. I think you rather try harder if your young to overcome that perception people have of you."

"Not once did I act greedy the past two years... I wanted to do something twice as well when someone has asked me to do it, not act out of place when nobody has asked me to."

“You can’t even sing a falsetto when you’re a singer? Do it all over from the beginning.”

"My ninth grade homeroom teacher had told me I probably won’t be able to become a singer."

--- "There’s sort of a satisfaction I get from such incidents, when I get to show people who didn’t think I’d make it, what I’ve done."

HE IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION!

[TRANS] Seungri's Interview with 10asia "Part 2"! (110211)

10: So what do you think is your style of music? I’m sure it’s different from that of G-Dragon or Taeyang’s who have grown with YG since they were young.

Seungri: I think I work with a variety of genres but it’s mainly pop. Taeyang does black R&B, Daesung authentic ballad, T.O.P hip-hop but dirty sound and G-Dragon likes an extremely wide range of music. I think my style is closer to white music. I like Justin Timberlake and boy bands like ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. But I’m with YG Entertainment so I sang most of my songs in R&B style. I think a lot of people would have looked the other way if I strayed too far from YG’s style since people have a certain level of expectation for who they see as Seungri of YG Entertainment.

10: Your vocals in particular for this album are different from when you sang “Strong Baby” — even more so for songs “OPEN YOUR MIND” and “I KNOW.”

Seungri: That’s why I asked IU to sing in R&B style as well, different from how she usually sings. The song had to sound like it was done by a YG artist.

10: That must’ve not been an easy environment for IU to work with. How did you get one of the most popular female singers these days to sing with you?

Seungri: I half threatened her. (laugh) I’d known her since three years ago so I told her, ‘I’ve made a sweet duet song for you so come and sing it.’ But honestly, you can’t get singers to sing with you if they don’t like the song but she liked it so we went for it and it came out well.

10: Like you did with the song with IU, you collaborated with different people not only in terms of the composing and producing but also singing. I’m curious to know how these came about and how you worked with the singers. G-Dragon did the rap for “OPEN YOUR MIND.”

Seungri: I was actually going to ask Psy to do the featuring for “OPEN YOUR MIND.” I also wanted to make the song sound sexy by including sounds of breathing mid-way. But I realized that the song may not be suitable for underage listeners if he was saying things like, “Open my window and come in.” (laugh) Then one day, G-Dragon and T.O.P had gotten back all worn out around 5 a.m. after shooting their music video when our boss Yang said, “Then you do it G-Dragon. It won’t take you that long anyway, right?” and went upstairs. I’m sure he must’ve been extremely tired but he got it done in three hours. I don’t know if it was because he was sleepy (laugh) but the rap sounded odd and dreamy. It came out really well.

10: So what did you say to G-Dragon?

Seungri: Man, they don’t call you G-Dragon for no reason. (all laugh)

10: And what did he say to that?

Seungri: It’s me, man! (laugh)

10: Well the album has turned out to be a mix of yours and YG’s style. How has the response been within YG?

Seungri: Mr. Yang was extremely surprised. He usually isn’t the expressive type but after listening the song he asked who made it, so I said I did, then he asked whether I came up with just the lyrics, so I told him the melody as well and he said, “Hmm… hmm… There aren’t any songs that are similar to this, are there?” (laugh) I was scared too because I wondered whether I had unconsciously plagiarized another song. So I checked through applications that look up similar songs as well. G-Dragon was very surprised as well. “Who made this?” “Me.” “This one as well?” “Yes.” “What about this?” “I did…” “This one is good… But I don’t think you made it. Did you really?” was our conversation.

10: For which songs did you get those responses?

Seungri: He asked if I was the one that really made “MAGIC.” Taeyang and G-Dragon listen to it everyday. And they say they like the song but are kind of annoyed because I made it. (laugh) I know what they’re trying to say so it feels good.

10: Have there been times they’ve acknowledged you like that for other things in the past?

Seungri: Almost never. My members and Mr. Yang know how to deal with me. (laugh) They know I’ll cross the line if they acknowledge or praise me too much. After I gave my first performance on television for my new album, G-Dragon sent me a 30-line text message. He had monitored the performance and I’m sure nobody has gotten such a long text message, even from their own girlfriend. (laugh) Anyways, he commented on my expression, my gestures, my gazes, my wardrobe, my walk — it was in extreme detail. I was very grateful and happy. I would’ve stayed a not-so-great singer without it. The people at our agency are actually very cold-hearted in this aspect. They won’t tell you how great or amazing you were but instead tell you that you weren’t that great if you weren’t. And they’re correct.

10: So I’m sure you depend on and lay much faith in such monitoring that’s done about you.

Seungri: I accept most of it. Except for maybe about five out of the 30 lines. Because I have a mind of my own as well. For example, there’s nothing I can do about looking short. I’m born this way. And my face is on the long side so I look even shorter on screen. It’s not an issue that can be solved by inserting extra heels into my shoes.

10: Well such monitoring and feedback on each other shows that Big Bang is more than just a group with brother-like relationships.

Seungri: I guess it would be more accurate to say that we draw a distinct line between our public and personal lives. Our leader has an evident role he plays when it comes to work — he’ll confirm on the opinions the rest of us four share. But I feel comfortable with them when it comes to our private lives. Nobody is as humane as the members of Big Bang. Everyday is like a sitcom. I drink often with T.O.P and G-Dragon and I go to church with Daesung and Taeyang so we study the bible together. But we all stay cool-headed when it comes to work. For example, if T.O.P comes up with a rap that he thinks suits a song better than a rap that G-Dragon has made, he’ll insist on going with his. Then G-Dragon will respect his opinion, try it out, and go with it if he agrees on it as well. I think that’s why Big Bang’s music is about what all five of us really wanted to do and hear.

10: I’m curious to know how such work-related stubbornness and respect will have harmonized in Big Bang’s upcoming album — whether one person will hold the key to it or if it’ll emphasize the intersection the five of you create.

Seungri: There are times when painting red, blue, black, green and purple on a white piece of drawing paper will becomes a work of art. That’s what Big Bang is like. We all have distinctive colors but every picture we draw turns out great.

10: What’s fascinating is that it’s sometimes hard to create synergy with very different people but Big Bang does.

Seungri: G-Dragon is good at harmonizing us. For example, T.O.P has a unique voice so it sometimes stands out too much but G-Dragon will help him tone it down and with me, he’ll help me stand out when I sometimes don’t because of everyone else’s individuality. G-Dragon is good at being the leader.

10: Well, G-Dragon may be the leader of the group in an official sense but you’re the one who delivers the more personal aspects of Big Bang to fans. This was written in your autobiography as well but while the members Big Bang are shy and like to be amongst themselves, you seem to be quite different from them.

Seungri: I’m a star player when it comes to being sociable. It’s because I’m inquisitive. When I meet someone for the first time, I want to start up a conversation with them.

10: In that sense, what do you think about what T.O.P recently said about you on a talk show?

Seungri: It wasn’t too bad. He recently joined our so-called ‘Seungri Academy’ and worked hard on improving his talking skills. G-Dragon also asked when he’ll be able to take a class.

10: What does your agency say about your character on variety shows? You even sang Yang’s song at the YG Family concert and shouted out “Eun-joo [Yang's wife], I love you.”

Seungri: Well about that, he said, “Seungri, he’s really funny.” And he’ll tell me not to do such things again but he also loves it when I do.

10: In other words, you go for what you think will be funny.

Seungri: I make a lot of attempts and give up on the things that won’t work. Me and Daesung, our personalities are extreme opposites. We were both practicing for our musical “Shouting” when I came up with an idea and told him we should try it out to see what the director thinks but Daesung said it would be better to ask him about it first. I’m the type that makes attempt after attempt and moves forward like a wild horse.

[Guest toozdae08]

wow, this is dumb argument.

If she doesn't want to say BB's hair color she doesn't have to. It's her right.

And so what if we know their hair color? It's nice to know but I love BB for the music and personalities and all this fuss over hair color is rather annoying. I'm excited for the concept but way more excited for the music. If that had leaked then I would be pissed.

[Guest juang_bb]

i think everyone are just getting more and more anxious about the comeback. i get where both sides are coming from. i guess its a matter of perspective, what we think is revealing too much or spoiling and what isnt. we cant blame the VIPs who revealed about GD being blonde because they're just sharing what they saw and i know a lot of iVIPs have been bombarding them with questions and details on twitter, and they're being nice enough to just answer and spazz together with the other fans. also, i think BB and their managers are fully aware of the risks that the hair colors and styles being leaked given that they are shooting in a public place and people and fans can recognize them. the managers can only do so much. im pretty sure, they wont be able to tell every single fan who have seen the boys not to share the info.

on the other hand, i guess... we should just all be careful when sharing and posting info we find about the comeback. we've all waited 2 years for this to happen and it would be sad if the fans themselves are gonna spoil it. especially when the album's about to be released, pls be extra careful if you find leaks before the official release.

[Guest Sonia.Shin]

All these arguments just prove how GD is a HOT ISSUE~ or I should say his hair~ hehe joking!

People opinions are different... in the end... BIGBANG is COMING BACK! ANd that should be the ISSUE right now! Let's Rejoice and not Argue!

but anyways GD is back to blond... I missed it! But I hope this blond would be slightly different... maybe a orangy blond?!? that would be a change.... I believe in GD! HE won't dissapoint us!

[Guest propera898]

lol who said this was just about GD hair , its about all the menbers, we wanted to know about every member hairstyle , not just GDs , its just cuz everyone saw the fanphoto of the airport of a guy with what seemed blonde hair and thats all but lol now i know

i was dying to know all BB new hairstyles ... but now i know!

GD is blonde

TOP is white/silver & shorter hair

Tae , Dae and VI are the same!

and guess what? im as excited or more excited as before ..

[Guest blank_blank_cuti3]

I don't really mind knowing their hairstyle but I haven't even seen it so I won't worry about it until then...However, if there songs get leak, I think I'll be pissed like leslie said cuz I've wait 2 years now..hope that won't happen..cuz SR's album did...<___>

Anyways, let's just all move on...what already had happen already did.

It's best to just move on and look forward to their comeback! Inkigayo first though! hehehe...

I think the boys are heading out tonight for Korea since they have Inkigayo on Sunday and right now, it's already Saturday in Korea and it's a longg flight!

And I'm also wondering why is Shaun going back to LA (I think) and Lyle is going to Korea! LOL...Such weird schedules that I can't even understand or corelate with BB's comeback...

[Guest blank_blank_cuti3]

10: For which songs did you get those responses?

Seungri: He asked if I was the one that really made “MAGIC.” Taeyang and G-Dragon listen to it everyday. And they say they like the song but are kind of annoyed because I made it. (laugh) I know what they’re trying to say so it feels good.

Aww~ that's so cute! LLOL...I remembered when I first listen to MAGIC, I knew right then that it was the type of song that GD & TY like toO! It just has this weird and firty feel to it that draw people to the song! I'm glad that GD & TY has "acknowledge" SR's talents although I'm sure they have acknowledge before it's just that they never say it to magnae...hehehe...

I drink often with T.O.P and G-Dragon and I go to church with Daesung and Taeyang so we study the bible together.

^^ I'm glad that Dae and SR's relationship are at a better place now and they even go to church together! I hope their relationship grow stronger!

10: In that sense, what do you think about what T.O.P recently said about you on a talk show?

Seungri: It wasn’t too bad. He recently joined our so-called ‘Seungri Academy’ and worked hard on improving his talking skills. G-Dragon also asked when he’ll be able to take a class.

LOL...so everybody now is in SR's academy?! AHAHAH...I wonder if Taeyang has join as well?!

Anyhow, I love this interview! I have to say that I love 10Asia interviews! Our boys always give so much thoughtful answers to their questions as they asked alot of tough questions! The more I read about this interview, I grow to love our magnae evenmore! Seriously, those who have been hating him lately needs to read this! He matured so much and I can get the sense that he's really treasuring his hyungs and is so thankful for YG now (not like he isn't before...) just a different feeling I get from him now vs. SR then...LOL...sound so old...hahaha..

[leslie_lei]

but anyways GD is back to blond... I missed it! But I hope this blond would be slightly different... maybe a orangey blond?!? that would be a change.... I believe in GD! HE won't dissapoint us!

SONIA! wazzup! hehehe...glad to see you here. Sorry to cut your post but i was thinking and trying

to imagine if GD's hair was ORANGE-BLONDE hehehe...i love his red hair though so it'll be interesting

what he'd do next

@propera: yeah its not just about GD's hair color..lol but somehow that was set as an example

so the comments were geared towards his hair.

@Ca_Kristine_4ever: THAT IS RIGHT!let's just move on and be excited as ever..its not

like their song had been leak on the internet..though that would so kill the excitement.

I just read that GD's 5'8 or 5'9?

idk about this ive always thought GD was somewhere 5'7

maybe he was wearing SHOELIFTS LOOOL as KC mentioned on twitter.

and YOUNGBAE...5'4???? i was hoping he'll be 5'5 or 5'6..idk

Lee byung- hyun Professes he's Love of YG artists

Not sure what he was promoting in japan but yesterday on Sukkiri a reporter told him that japan was in a boom of Hallyu artists, so naturally they asked him who were the ones he was interested.

and of course he said BB & 2ne1 (YG Baby)

He said it was because they look and feel like true musicians

[Guest TheExConvict]

Its just hairstyle...

and ofcourse its natural for someone to get curious when we don't know what it is....it's human nature to get curious and wanting to find out. i don't see anything wrong with that...it's going to get seen anyways.

[macrina]

like I said before...

THIS IS HAPPENING.

THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

2 weeks.

I AM HAVING GOOSEBUMPS dear! Seriously, I am.

IT. IS. INDEED. HAPPENING. IT. REALLY. IS! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

wow, this is dumb argument.

I agree although I would use the word unnecessary rather than dumb. Come on guys! Let's just focus on the most important thing - we all know what that is,right? IT'S THE COMEBACK!

and YOUNGBAE...5'4???? i was hoping he'll be 5'5 or 5'6..idk

@Les:

Sapol Les! Sakto lang kami! harhar! Horizontal tango here we go! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

[NEWS] Seungri indirectly apologizes for a recent interview! (110212)

Big Bang’s Seungri raised anticipation amongst fans for the group’s impending comeback this month, as well as indirectly apologizing for a recent interview through a new post on "his me2day".

On the morning of February 12th, the singer wrote, “TAEYANG, that man is returning. With GD, T.O.P, Daesung, and Seungri!! ^^ -NEW BIG BANG-”.

What caught the attention of fans, however, were the tags he used for the post, which demonstrated his efforts in taking caution for his next interviews: “Big Bang, comeback, impending, Seungri, interview, take caution, sorry, Running Man, final broadcast.”

To recap, the singer participated in Daum Yozm’s fan interview that stirred a bit of controversy over his "mentioning of SNSD" and JYJ’s Junsu’s “Mozart.”

YG Entertainment officials had clarified, “Seungri’s the type that loves humorous and fun things, so he probably expressed the close relationships that he jokes around with and sometimes bickers with in that manner.”
