[NEWS] Daesung’s 1st Japanese pictorial interview 3/4 : Bigbang

What role do you think you play in BIGBANG?
If BIGBANG was family, I think I would be the uncle…the relative..(laughs)

Why did you suddenly say you’re the uncle? Aren’t BIGBANG like a family?
To me, the uncle (relative) will go to the house to play once in awhile. The impression he gives off is that he can make everyone feel alive and happy. I’m not saying that BIGBANG aren’t like family but that we don’t invade each other’s privacy. The uncle does just that – gives them the right amount of space.

That is your ideal? What about the other members?
GD is the father, Taeyang is the mother. GD is a very strict person. As a leader, he always leads BIGBANG into the right direction and is someone you can rely on. Taeyang is a person….that if you stand behind him, nothing else will matter.

What about TOP?
TOP is a newborn baby (laughs). He jokes 80% of the time while 20% is real. He says this himself, that he can express himself clearly. Seungri is the pet (laughs); the miniature poodle. He is really like a puppy. He is never shy…he can get along with almost anyone.

I’ve heard that sometimes he’s too friendly?
That is very true (laughs). On the contrary, I control my emotions too much so I’m quite envious of him.

The 2 of you are complete opposites then. Daesung has a Dorae-Daesung nickname because you like Doraemon a lot? If Doraemon was real, which tool of his would you want? Could it be the time machine door?
Ah…..I really want that door so I can go anywhere (laughs). If I had that, I could go straight from Korea to Japan instantly. I could also go to the concert hall from my home by walking through the door.

Ah right. Since we’re on the topic of concerts, you sang “Cotton Candy” during Electric Love Tour and you thoroughly presented a dream-like world. There was even a video of when you woke up and it let us, the audience come closer to what Daesung is like in real life. It was a performance that only Daesung could do.
Ah…don’t say that…I’ll feel embarrassed (laughs). Even though during the recording, I didn’t feel that at all.

The way you woke up in the video was very well done. You always smile when you wake up?
Yes (laughs), so I am always the first to sleep. I will sleep at 12am if our schedule ends early and then I will naturally wake up at 8am, but as soon as I wake up I have to go on the net and listen to music. I really like using my computer – I’m on before I sleep and after I wake up, so in order to conveniently use my computer, my desk is next to my bed.

Ah so it’s like that…Also, don’t tell me that it was your idea during one of the performances to sing and give bento to audiences?
Yes, that was my idea. Different things in different performances. It’s usually things like chocolates and my handwritten notes….
