Especially when you're making a lot of money and you know there's a formula, it's easy to stay in that rut.

I don't want to let ourselves down, so we put extra time, extra effort into every single thing we put out. I think that's why it takes a bit of time for us, but we really want to perfect the quality of the stuff we put out, so we can be represented to the world as a K-pop group.

So in that sense, it's a city where you can be very anonymous if you want to be, or even if you don't want to be.
