T.O.P: I think my dyed hair suits the concept of the new album. Not many Koreans would dye their hair like this because it's like making your head bleed to get right color successfully. The color was just too eye-catching for an awards ceremony. I heard that some people said things like "Is it because he wants to get an award that he dyed his hair like that?" and "What if he doesn't get it?" I got annoyed a bit by these but I felt so happy when I got the award that I wasn't even expecting to get... though I really got bothered by those words.
▶ In Into The Fire, T.O.P successfully carried the character who possesses an unfathomable power and won the newcomer award. During the award giving ceremony, the "white head" of T.O.P was particularly eye-catching when he was walking on the red carpet.
T.O.P: Two days before attending the ceremony, I dyed my hair with this colour for the shoot of High High's music video. To be honest, I was embarrassed to present myself with this hairstyle in front of so many veteran actors. I also worried about not getting the award because my efforts, then, will be all in vain. I actually felt guilty when I received the award because getting it with this kind of look will be recorded in Blue Dragon's history... Why did I have to get the award at that time?
"We gave a lot of effort in making this album!"
T.O.P: "How about forming a duet?" Although we made the album with this kind of thought, we didn't just make it carelessly. From High High and Oh Yeah, which can suit the tastes of people from all walks of life, to Don't Go Home and Baby Good Night, which are about how a man yearns for a woman until they fall in love with each other, songs which tell stories are found in tis album.
▶ The response is quite good since almost all of the songs in the album have swept music charts, which shows how popular the album is.

T.O.P: We really gave a lot of effort in making this album and the response is better than what we expected. We plan to extend our period of activities until we satisfy our fans.
▶ We shouldn't worry about the delay of BIGBANG's team album with this statement because he said...
T.O.P: We are carefully working on the album at the moment. What we want is that we can promote for as long as possible before the release of our team album.
"I do feel stiff, sometimes, when I am acting."
T.O.P: I didn't have confidence in acting before I participated in Into The Fire. I am that kind of person who will be only be calm if I am confident enough. I am working hard on my weaknesses now.
▶ He was afraid of acting badly in the well-received KBS TV drama Iris too...

T.O.P: I'm not normally talkative in real life so it felt really difficult when I was told to act out my character without detailed guidance.
▶ Now, as an acclaimed actor, T.O.P has also set new targets.
T.O.P: There are so many excellent veterans. I learn a lot from them when I look back at their glorious past. I want to polish myself and present some new things in the industry to show that I am a wise latecomer too.
▶ So, how do you rank your acting?
T.O.P: Since I am currently at a period where I want to act as much as possible, there are still a lot of things that I want to present. I think it is still too early to rank my own performance now.
"Of course, it would be nice to meet an attractive girl..."
T.O.P: I like to stay at home a lot together with my timidness. I always want to flee away from strangers because I am afraid of them. Although there are times that I have thought that it would be great if I had a girlfriend, my heart still tends to allocate my leisure time to working.
▶ This proves his determination to do things well. Once he encounters the things that sparks his ambition, he will work hard to achieve them. Although he said that he's concentrating on work at the moment, he still has his own ideal girl, who is wise and gentle.

T.O.P: If she is able to lead me to a better place and point me to the right direction, then she would be the right person. I like the role of a follower, although sometimes, I would like to lead too.
▶ So, are there girl group members who can meet his requirements?
▶ So, are there girl group members who can meet his requirements?
T.O.P: In the past, I was too busy to watch the music programs. Usually, I stay away from watching too because with so many people performing well, I was worried that I would imitate them unconsciously when I perform. But I am a fan of all girl groups even though I am like that. Haha!
