Overall, Korean pop serves as the foundation of my musical upbringing. As a result, the melodies that I create just exude that type of vibe.
As a rapper, I was heavily influenced by American rap albums. But for songs that are more melody-driven, I get my inspiration from Korean albums.
I'm a 2NE1 fan as well. I just love the YG Family!
I want to be on the Billboard Hot 100 with a single that has Korean lyrics.
When people outside Korea think of 'K-pop,' most of them expect 'idols' with several members in a group, dancing in sync.
I was about nine years old when I first heard Wu-Tang's 'C.R.E.A.M.' Before that, I didn't know anything about rap or hip-hop. I was just into Korean pop.
I think PSY opened a lot of doors for K-pop artists.
Girls Generation, I love their Teddy Riley-produced track 'The Boys.'
Visually, I find that 'Gee' and 'Genie' from the 2009 era is what made Girls' Generation such an iconic image.
I like lots of Korean music that most people have probably never heard of. I also enjoy hip hop.
