‣ Taeyang unveils his thoughts about marriage
Taeyang recently interviewed with OSEN in a cafe located in Hongdae and confessed, “I am negative about marriage for now. But if there is a woman who can shake my world, I will marry her even tomorrow.”
Taeyang explained, “I asked Shin Seung-hoon ‘Aren't you going to marry?’ I believe that being an artist has nothing to do with marriage. And he answered similarly. I think it's because I never found the apple of my eye. If I find my love who can shake my world, I will dare marry tomorrow. My first love was like that. I think it is hard for me to date because my first love was so strong.”
‣ Solo Comeback
Feelings about his comeback
Taeyang: “I feel good. I worried about the delay of my album release. But after ‘Ringa Linga’ came out, I feel like I am almost there. It feels like the album will drop soon. I performed on Inkigayo after a long time so it was so fun for me. I was happy to meet my fans since it was recorded in advance.”

Reason behind the Korean element in the song
Taeyang: “As it shows in the title, ‘Ringa Linga’ was inspired by a Korean children's song. The concept ‘Lets dance together’ came out when G-Dragon and I were talking. It was mainly influenced by Big Bang's world tour. When we were on tour, we became more interested in other countries' culture. We started to think that Korea has its own distinct awesome coolness. We wanted to introduce those elements to foreigners.”

Confidence on his new album
Taeyang: “I tried to expand my music spectrum. So I developed new feelings from past albums. If my previous albums were more consistent, now the album tracks all consist of various compositions.”

‣ Solo vs Group Promotions
How is promoting solo different from group promotions?
Taeyang: “In the past, I thought I can do everything I couldn't do as a group during my solo promotions. I saw my solo as my breakthrough. But as time went by, I learned how to express myself in a group. Group promotions are more fun. GD agreed. It is so hard to wait alone. If we wait together, time just flies by while we chat and play. I think this makes a synergy effect on stage.”

How do you distinguish yourself from Seungri and G-Dragon who also recently had solo promotions?
Taeyang: Seungri and GD all have strong identities. It is how we have great synergy when all five of us are together. We are all different. I am strong at R&B hip-hop. I think I appeal to those who enjoy listening to R&B and hip-hop.”

Music fans are curious about Big Bang's new unit that G-Dragon mentioned. What do you think about a G-Dragon and Taeyang unit?
Taeyang: “My guess is it will be awesome if it happens. I think there are lots of things we can do. We have the same code— different but similar. I think these characteristics can create great energy. We've known each other for so long, so now we understand each other even without saying anything. It will be a special gift for our fans.”

Taeyang also hinted about Daesung's solo album plans, “Daesung seems to be preparing his own album. He is likely to release his album next year. Daesung only released his album in Japan, so I think he will have a solo comeback about next year.”
‣ Reason to do music, found while traveling
Taeyang: “I started traveling to meet new people. Not women (laughs). Repeatedly meeting new people and creating music while traveling prepared me for my album. I just felt happy finding and listening to good music. In the past, I was too busy to enjoy the music. Through traveling, I found so many people planting great music throughout the world. I was just happy to listen to such good music and that was the reason for me to do music.
Every artist aims to play public-friendly music without losing their musicianship. That is my ultimate goal. My album may receive bitter and favorable comments, but I personally like my album. I poured in my everything which is why it links my past and future. I believe this album was necessary for Taeyang's career in the long run.”
