On being in front of the camera
“In my experience, photos turn out best when I’m acting naturally. So I make a conscious effort to relax my body as much as possible during photoshoots.”
On moving forward on his own terms
“I believe no one can set their own limits. While limits do exist, you won’t know where they are until you get there. That’s why I fully understand the courage and effort it takes to believe in yourself and keep going. The act of setting your course and moving forward through your own efforts is truly remarkable.”

On his solo album debut, Face
“The album helped me gain a clear understanding of the complex emotions I’d been feeling but couldn’t quite grasp at the time. Thanks to those experiences, I’m no longer afraid of the thought of picking myself up during difficult moments when it feels like I can’t get up.”
On his process
“When I sense that an emotion welling up inside me is special, I grab my phone and jot it down in the notes app right away. Sometimes, when I look back at how I’ve behaved or thought that year, certain emotions hit me. I make sure to jot those down as well.”

On fan support
"We always find comfort in the kind words, applause, and support of our fans. The biggest comfort and gift for us is the moment when we see our fans. That hasn’t changed at all."
On expressing emotions through his art
“The first time I hear a song, it’s important for me to truly feel it. I strive to remember those initial thoughts and emotions and then express them fully when I’m on stage.”

On breaking language barriers to attain international success
“To get to where we are now, our team has faced considerable struggles, occasionally losing our way and experiencing conflict, but always supporting each other. The joy, sorrow, pain, delight, and love we’ve felt along the way—we’ve been candid about it all. I think these emotions struck a chord with people. So, in the end, it’s not really about language, but the heart that bridges the gap.”
