Was there a moment when you truly realized that you and/or Big Bang had become incredibly popular on a worldwide level?
GD: When I went on the Big Bang Alive Galaxy world tour in 2012 and my first solo world tour in 2013. Before I was physically there in different countries to meet my fans in person, I didn’t really realize how famous I was. Through the world tour experiences, I was able to figure out where we stand in different countries, which helped us learn how we should plan things going forward.
Do you now think about the international market, and not just the Korean market, when you’re working on a new record?
GD: Definitely. Nowadays, I can interact with my fans all around the world via SNS and YouTube, and they can monitor my daily life. I study my fans all the time and what I learn from them will definitely be reflected in my future work.
How many frequent flier miles do you think you have?
GD: I’m not sure. Maybe a few million?
You and your bandmate Taeyang recently returned from Paris Fashion Week, where you sat front row at shows like Yohji Yamamoto, Thom Browne, Saint Laurent, Lanvin and Comme des Garcons. What do you wear on long overseas flights?
GD: I don’t care. I just try to look good always.
What are your future career goals? Would you consider doing a Big Bang or solo album for the English-language market?
GD: I’ve always been thinking about it but, of course, learning English comes first. I’ll definitely do it when I’m really ready for it.
