“The basic principle I have is that what is most Korean is what is the most international. I don't want to come here and act like I'm an American. I want to showcase the dynamic potential Korea has, and I want to prove that as an artist.”
“I'm not that good looking. That's why 'Gangnam Style' works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it's just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it's funny.”
“Everything moves way too fast.”
“I like the word 'artist,' but I don't like the word 'artist' inside my house.”
“To the U.S. and the world, I'm just known as some funny song and some funny music, some funny video guy. But in Korea I'm doing one of the biggest concerts; it's not a dance music concert. I'm playing with the band, so I change my every song to a rock song.”
“I've got to wear sunglasses everywhere, all the time, even if its indoors or at night time, to be recognized. That's part of my job. I cannot take off my sunglasses. For me, staying in the United States was so dark because I can't take them off.”
“My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.”
“As an artist, the more experience, the better the creation. I'm a very positive person.”
“If a Korean artist reaches to the top, we're all ready to stand up and applaud for him or her.”
“I really like the P!nk song with the guy from fun., 'Just Give Me a Reason.'”
“The world's most famous and popular language is music.”
“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.”
“I never expect I would become a K-pop star.”
“I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world.”
“My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen. His songwriting skills, I cannot even approach, but his showmanship, I learned it from videos.”
“I just made my album. I did my best. And I uploaded the video just to 'YouTube.' That was all.”
“My original name is Jae-Sang Park, so it's totally different.”
“Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses - I had a huge rock-band mania. I play a little bit of drums.”
“I lived in the States from 1996 till 2000. I attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1997. But I wasn't the most hard-working student. I rarely went to school. At that time, I seriously doubted that you could learn creativity in school. Music isn't something you can just learn from other people. Sometimes I regret missing classes.”
“All the people in Korea are cheering me like I'm a gold medalist or something, so I have a responsibility to my country.”
