Kim Eana (lyric writer)
“I'm inspired by G-Dragon and Tablo. Lyrics writers have rules about spacing words, but GD himself brakes the rules and creates a brand new style. I'm absolutely inspired by such a style. And Tablo usually uses literary words even though most of lyric writers write in a colloquial style to make their lyrics rhythmical. The surprising thing is that Tablo uses literary words but his lyrics are very rhythmical”.
BewhY (rapper)
“When I was a middle school student, I really liked BIGBANG’s music. I became interested in music because of BIGBANG even though I became interested in hip hop for another reason. And I thought I wanted to have a great stage name just like G-Dragon. So, I quoted initial of my real name Lee Byung Yoon and used BY for my stage name. However, I wanted to give a meaning to the name and decided to use BewhY. Rapper C Jamm helped me when I decided on the stage name”.

BamBam of GOT7
“My role model is G-Dragon because he’s not only a great musician but also a fashionista. I love his music, and I love his voice. Most of all, he has his own musical characteristics”.
Lee Soohyuk (model)
“G-Dragon is my friend since he was a trainee. I’ve known him for a long time, and I can confidently say that he’s hot stuff. And there’s a lot I can learn from him. He is a person of distinct individuality, and he has swagger. Even though I’m a model, I can never copy his style”.
