A Quote by G-Dragon
It would be better to be recognized first for music, but people go with what they like. If I'm here because I'm recognized more so as a style icon, then, if I'm smart enough, I will use this opportunity to share more insight about my music.

For whatever reason, the success still blows my mind - that I'm able to talk to people about the music I've written.
