Top has been praised by his supreme acting skills in 'Into The Fire' and he claimed the new comer award in the 31st Blue Dragon Film Festival too.

According to him, "I think my dyed hair suits the concept of this album. Not many Korean would dye this colour which is just like I have to let my head bleed in order to get the colour dyed on successfully. This colour is just too eye catching in the prize giving ceremony." He shook his head while saying this. Then he continued his nagging, "I have heard people saying that it is because he wants to get that award, he dyed such color." and "then how about if he cannot get it?" I was once annoyed by these but I felt so happy to get the prize that I have never thought that I could be able to. Though I was troubled by those words...'

In 'Into The Fire', Top has successfully carried the character who possesses unfathomable power and won the new comer award. During the award giving ceremony, the white head of TOP was particularly eye catching when he was walking on the red carpet. "Two days before attending the ceremony, I dyed this colour for shooting the 'High High' MV. In fact, I was quite ashamed to present myself with this hair style in front of so many veteran actors. I was also worried about what if I could not get the prize then all of my efforts seemed to be in vain ..." "I then felt guilty when I was receiving the award since I thought that by receiving the prize with this image, then my look will be kept in the record of the Blue Dragon Film Festival for a life time, why I have to get the prize now then?"

We have spared a lot of efforts in making this album!

Immediately after the filming of 'Into the Fire', he returned back to the studio to create the new album, 'GDTOP' in order to pay a surprising tribute to the fans who have been waiting for the album of Bigbang for a very long time. How about forming a duet? Although we were making the album under this thought, we have not been careless in making it. Ranging 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 consists of a story of how a man yearns for a woman until they fall in love together, songs which tell stories can also be found in this album.

The response is good too since almost all of the songs included in the album have swept various music charts which shows how popular it is among people. "We have really spared a lot of efforts in making this album and the response is better than our expectation. We plan to extend our period of activities until we satisfy our fans." We don't have to worry about the delaying of the release of Bigbang's team album for this sentence because he said, 'We are carefully making this album at this moment. What we want is before the release of our team album, we can promote as long as possible.'

I do feel stiff sometimes when I am acting.

Although everyone praises him as the best actor with the singer background, Top has not been complacent by it. "I didn't have confidence in acting before I participated in "Into The Fire'. I am that kind of person who will be calm if I am confident enough and I am working hard on my weaknesses now."

He was afraid of acting badly in the well received KBS TV drama 'IRIS' too, "although I do not speak much in my daily life, the real me speaks even less so I felt really difficult when I was told to act out my character without detailed guidance."

Now, as an acclaimed actor, Top has also set his new targets. "There are so many excellent veterans, I learn a lot when I look back at their glorious past. However, I want to polish myself and present some new things in the industry to show that I am a wise latecomer too." "So, how many marks do you rank your acting?" "Since I am currently in the period which I want to act as much as possible and there are a lot of things that I want to present to you, I think it is too early to rank my own performance now."

Of course it is good to meet an attractive girl but now is the working time

Who will dislike this man? However, surprisingly, this man has been single for a long time. "I like to stay at home a lot together with my timidness, I always want to flee away from strangers for 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."

It seems to be the prove of his determination to do things well. Once he meets the things that spark his ambition but do not violate the rules, then he will strive to achieve them. Although he said he would concentrate on working at the moment, he still has his own ideal girls which are those who are wise and gentle. "If she is able to lead me to a better place and point the correct direction for me, 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 any members of the girl groups who can meet his requirements? "In the past, I was too busy to watch the music programmes and in fact, I dodge them intentionally too since there are a lot of people who know how to perform well on the stage, I am worried that I would imitate them unintentionally on my own stage. But I am the fan of all girl groups even though I am like that...haha."
