TAEYANG for CNN Daniel Kim’s “K-Everything”
“BIGBANG was one of the first K-pop groups to go on a global arena tour, and the first to chart on the US Billboard 200 with an all Korean album.”
DK: You’ve had such a long career, and you’re considered Prince, right? You’re Prince of R&B, Korean Prince.
Vince: I’d like to say he’s (Taeyang) the king!
DK: In my eyes, you’re so young, but in the K-pop world you’re much older now. You’re what, 37?
TY: I’m 37
DK: So old…grandpa 🤣
[…]
TY: I think it’s thanks to my fans that I’ve been able to do this for so long. And more than anything, I think it’s thanks to the support from Vince and the music-making colleagues around me that I’ve been able to make great music for so long.
