Nice to hear the story from his perspective. You can really hear that he never fitted in a boy group and I am happy that he didn't give up and started his own label where there are a lot of great rappers. And he also gave credits to his past which is nice to hear. #AOMG

i saw an interview he did on a us radio show. He said that he just went to korea randomly, but got indoctrinated and didnt even realize that he had begun accepting the korean hierarchy culture which he didnt like. Eg, how he wouldnt react after a while when JYP employees would hit trainees who made errors.

Very interesting to hear... and it sounded like he didnt really want to become an idol for more than a short time coz he didnt fit in with the idol culture with all the weird rules and stuff.
